SHORT FOREWORD

Dear DRT5 66 user,

I often wondered why the user's manual is not very much used,
even if it includes valuable information. As me too I am a user of
such manuals, the answer I have given myself is that valuable
information are concealed somewhere in the thick thing, and I do
not have time to waste to find it. So, either the manual is actually
of help, or I ignore it.

This is why I decided to split the DRT5 66 manual in four:


specification, with all performance details; introductory guide,
with the device description; local control guide, with the
information about how to use the test set with the local control;
application manual, with instructions about how to use it via PC
control, once its operation is understood, and troubleshooting
manual. The idea is that you may read once the introductory
guide or the specification, while you need to follow application
examples more than once; so, why not to split the manual?

Have a good work with DRT5 66!

2.1.1 Connection to the mains

The connection to the mains is performed by plug (1), and by the


power cord, provided. The power cord is three wires: phase,
on neutral (or two phases), ground: the ground is connected to the
Doc. MIE12170 Rev. 1.28 Page 10/88

chassis, and also to the ground socket (26). After power-on,


pressing the push-button (18), light (24) confirms that the supply
is correct and the device is ON. If there are problems on the
supply, lights (19) turn on; they signal: ground missing, supply
too high.

2.1.2 Output voltages and currents

Output voltages are connected to sockets (6); the two sockets


marked VN are short-circuited, and are the neutral for the six
voltages. Neutral sockets VN are isolated from the current neutral
sockets, IN.

Output currents are connected to sockets (5); the two sockets


marked IN are short-circuited, and are the neutral for the six
currents.

2.1.3 Auxiliary DC voltage output

The auxiliary DC voltage is connected to sockets (7): red socket


for the positive.

2.1.4 Trip inputs or analog inputs and auxiliary outputs

Trip inputs (8) are 12 in all, divided in six groups of two inputs
each: groups are isolated among them. Groups are: Cl, C2; C3,
C4; CS, C6; C7, C8; C9, CI0-IMP1; C11, C12-IMP2.
Inputs C1 - C6; C9 - C12 are also used with the TRANSCOPE
option, for the measurement of 10 analog inputs.
Inputs C10-IMPl and C12-IMP2 can be used both for trip contacts
monitoring and for counting impulses such as those coming from
an energy meter.

Each group can be independently selected with or without


voltage.

Auxiliary outputs (20) are relay contacts; at sockets are


available: Common, Normal Open and Normal Closed contact.
There are four more auxiliary outputs, transistor type, connected
to the rear round connector (10): Appendix 1 shows the
connector and the pin configuration.
Doc. MIE12170 Rev. 1.28 Page 11/88

2.1.5 Measurement inputs

Measurement inputs are connected to sockets (9). There are two


measurements available, exclusive of each other: low current;
low voltage. Black sockets are the zero for the voltage or current
measurements: they are short circuited. Each input is protected
by a T63mA 250V fuse (25).

2.1.6 Interface connections

The test set has six interface connectors: three on the front and
three on the rear. On the front we have:
• Connector (11) is for the optional IEC61850-8 interface.
When active, the two lights above it (21) turn on.
• The USB connector (12) is for the test set control via an
< external Pc. When active, the light above it turns on.
• Connector (13) is for the USB flash disk.
On the rear we have:
• The optional 32-way round connector (10) hosts the
connections for: external amplifiers and I/O expansion,
low level outputs and digital outputs zero power signals.
• The ETHERNET connector (22) is for the test set control
via an external Pc.
• The two optical connectors (23) are for optional IEC61850-
9 interface.

• Function keys (14), from F1 to F5. These are breakthrough
m commands;
• The color display (15) allows the operator to dialogue with
the test set, displaying the selected parameters and the
test resu Its;
• The knob (16) allows to move on the screen by rotating it;

can be fit into the connector (13). The TDM? test program
Doc. MIE12170 Rev. 1.28 Page 12/88

allows to review test results, and to save them


permanently into the data base. The same test program
allows to set-up tests and to record them into the memory
key, from which they can be uploaded into the test set.
The local control operation is explained in detail in a separate
manual.

During tests, the display informs about: current and voltage


outputs, trip inputs, auxiliary outputs, and displays diagnostic
messages which tell the operator the type of problem and the
faulty component. The list of these messages and of the
corresponding corrective action is reported in the troubleshooting
manual.

2.1.8 Low power outputs

Optional low power outputs, for the simulation of non


conventional current and voltage transducers, are found on
connector (10). Appendix 1 shows the connector and the pin
configuration. .

2.2 Hazardous situations

The following table lists a number of situations that are


potentially hazardous to the user and/or to the test set. Please
consider this list, and check the situation in case of doubt.

Of these points, the first one is very hazardous, both for the user
and the test set. OF The CONSEQUENT FAULT IS NOT
COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.

The hazard does not apply if the relay to be tested is not


connected to the plant. If, instead, the connection to the relay is
performed by means of a test connector (or by terminal blocks),
the operator must be sure to interrupt the ground connection of

The problem in this instance is that VN of VT's (or IN of CT's) is


connected to ground in a point of the grid that is far away
(sometimes very far away) from the control building. Between the
ground of the test set and the ground of VT's there is a voltage
differential that is caused by eddy currents; in case of ground
fault, this voltage grows to lethal levels, for both the user and
the test set. Besides, high energy spikes between the two
grounding points are easy to develop; these spikes have
amplitudes and energy that can exceed the rated isolation limits.
Checking the error is simple: just test with a resistance meter
that there is no connection between VN and the ground.

The second hazard is signaled by the lower LED (19), that turns
on: it is impossible to power-on the test set.
The reason of the problem is shown in the following circuit
schematic.

(19), that turns on: it is impossible to power-on the test set.

1S 2.3 Power-on

lit The test set is to be powered-on setting it horizontally, and with


the feet below lifted, as shown in the picture below: this
allows the air leaving it to exit without being slowed down by the
tight room left below it. In alternative, you can lower the handle
and use it to lift the test set some more.
Doc. MIE12170 Rev. 1.28 Page 16/88

If the room is tight and you should operate the test set standing,
you can use the optional test set support shown here below.

i~

!

The support should be opened, as shown below.


Doc. MIE12170 Rev. 1.28 Page 17/88

Next, it is possible to put the test set on the support, as shown in


19, the picture. There is enough room for the power supply cord, and
for the cooling air to flow in.
Doc. MIE12170 Rev. 1.28 Page 18/88

Before set-up, please, clean the floor: don't use the test set as a
vacuum cleaner!

Before power-on, perform all connections to the relay to


be tested.

The supply voltage range is 90 to 132 and 180 to 264 V AC,


sinusoidal, single phase. The supply can be Phase - Neutral or
Phase to Phase, but the ground connection must be available in
the supply plug.

Fit the power supply cable in the rear plug (1): by this action, the
test set generates an auxiliary, low power supply that puts the
test set in a stand-by situation. At power-on, the light (19) above
starts blinking: this confirms that the test set is performing the
voltage supply diagnostic. After about 10 s, the light turns off:
the diagnostic is completed, and the test set is ready to be
powered-on. If you leave the power cord fit without powering-on,
fans can start turning and stop after a short while: the cooling
system detects some high temperature, and starts operating
when necessary.

Press the push-button (18) for some second: display is the

situation, the display will inform about the problem, and about
the faulty board.

2.4.1 Burden

Before executing a test with the DRTS 66 it is necessary to


check that the burdens of the relay under test are compatible
with the DRTS 66 voltage and current output power, at the
Doc. MIE12170 Rev. 1.28 Page 20/88

desired test current or voltage. To this purpose, it is necessary to


compare the burden declared by the manufacturer to the
following maximum loads.

Often the relay burden is expressed in terms of VA load at


nominal voltage or current: it is necessary to convert it into
Ohm, with the following formulas.
V burden = (nominal voltage)"2 / VA load
I burden = VA load / (nominal current)"2

2.4.2 Current outputs

Currents are connected to safety sockets (5). The two neutral


sockets are connected together. If up to three currents are
generated one socket is sufficient; if more currents are generated
it is advisable to use both sockets.

Before the first current test, the test set measures the voltage at
the current sockets: if a voltage above 25 V is measured, the test
cannot be executed, and the operator is warned by a counter-
feed alarm.

Next, the test set measures the burden of the relay under test.
Before starting any test, the set verifies that the burden is not too
high at that current: if this is the case, the following situation will
occur.
1. The output can be generated during a maximum duration,
that is a function of current and burden;
2. The output cannot be generated without causing the
overload alarm intervention.

In case 1, if the test lasts less than the maximum duration, the
user will not notice anything.
If the duration is more than the maximum duration, or in case 2,
it is necessary to modify the situation: shorter or thicker cables,
or lower test current.

If the test causes an overload, the test set generates a fault


signal as soon as the output has an error in excess of 5% of the
nominal output. This logic error is delayed in order to avoid faults
caused by the relay itself (for instance as metering circuits are
Doc. MIE12170 Rev. 1.28 Page 21/88

switched). For this reason, if test duration is very short (as during
:0 the test of first zone settings in distance relays), the overload
Ie signal can be not sensed: in this situation, test result can be
different from the nominal setting. Therefore, if test result is very
different with respect to the nominal, before proceeding, test that
3t there is no overload, with a test duration more than 0.3 s.

The instrument can drive up to 430 VA per phase steady on any

output, in single or dual phase generation, with the supply of 230
'ill V; with the supply of 110 V, the maximum power is 300 VA per
phase. With three-phase generation, phases at 120°, the
maximum steady power is 250 VA per phase; with six-phase
generation, phases at 120°, the maximum power is 80 VA per

The specified maximum power is at maximum current, then it


decreases with the current. The maximum power and the
maximum burdens are the following, as a function of the test
current and of the number of output currents at the meantime.
Test duration is 3 s minimum.

NOTE: the table applies with a voltage supply of 230 V. With the
supply of 115 V, as the supply current is the same, the maximum
power is halved. This means that there is no change when
generating one, two or three outputs at the meantime.

@ 1200
OUTPUT 61 80 0.08 160 0.27 200 0.78 120 1.8
@ 1200

Special care is to be taken when evaluating the burden of the


current input, as the burden of connecting wires is to be added
to the relay burden. If the relay load is 2 VA at the nominal
current of 5 A, the relay burden is 80 mOhm.

In this case it is possible to test at 32 A in three phase only if the


connection and cabling are maximum 8 m long, with a cross
section of 2.5 sq. mm, and if cables are tied together, in
order to minimize the reactive component.

2.4.2.2 Paralleling two outputs

In case it is desired to have a three-phase generator with


currents up to 64 A, it is possible to parallel current outputs (in
the software, mode 3x64). In this situation, DRTS 66 output
currents are to be connected in parallel: 11 to 14; 12 to IS; 13 to
16, taking advantage of the jumpers provided.

The program accepts test currents up to 64 A, and takes care to


drive half and half the amplifiers, and to display the total current
on the display and in the test report.

ren it With this firmware revision, it is necessary to follow a procedure
I the before performing connections. The need of this comes from the
! test fact that the test set measures the burden impedance before
Itime. starting the first test: if it is too high, it signals it, and the test
cannot be executed. The measurement is performed generating
one current; for instance, 11.
h the
nrnuro With parallel connection, the maximum burden at 64 A is halved
when with respect to the 32 A burden: this fact would not be
understood by the test set, and it would allow the test even if the
burden is too high for the parallel connection. Then, at the first
test, you could have an over-load alarm.

1.8 To solve this issue, follow this procedure.
1.8 • Using the Manual test program, connect only II to a relay
1.8 input.
• Start half of the maximum current you want to use, and
1.8 measure with a voltmeter the voltage drop across II and
IN. If you have overload now, the test is impossible at that
current.
of the • Compute the relay impedance = (voltage drop) / (injected

perform single-phase tests up to 128 A. The angle between


currents must be 00; the current amplitude must be the same.

Before proceeding, we have to solve the same problem as


explained in the paragraph before, following this procedure.
• Using the Manual test program, connect only 11 to the
relay input.
• Start 1/6 of the maximum current you want to use, and
measure with a voltmeter the voltage drop across 11 and
IN. If you have overload now, the test is impossible at that
current.
• Compute the relay impedance = (voltage drop) / (injected
current).
• Compare the impedance to the maximum burdens table
here below. If the impedance is less than the maximum,
you can proceed; else, you have to reduce your maximum
test cu rrent.
• Disconnect Manual; reach the front panel, and select the
Auxiliary settings. Here, select "Use as Default Burden",
and input six times the impedance you have computed.
For instance, if you want to test at 96 A, and the
impedance you measured is 0.05 Ohm, input 0.3 Ohm.
• Now you can go to your test program, and perform the
test: the impedance is no more measured, and there will
be no overload message.
• NOTE: if you want to parallel N outputs, proceed as
explained above, but generate l/N times the test current,
and input the impedance multiplied by N.

Maximum burdens are shown in the following table. For other


currents, average the available power, and then divide it with the
square of the current, to compute the maximum burden. For
instance, at 88 A the power is (720+840)/2 = 780 VA; the
maximum burden is 780/881'2 = 0.1 Ohm.

The angle between currents must be 1800; the amplitude of two


currents must be the same.

With this firmware revision, it is necessary to follow a procedure


before performing connections. The need of this comes from the
fact that the test set measures the burden impedance before
starting the first test: if it is too high, it signals it, and the test
cannot be executed. The measurement is performed generating
one current; for instance, 11.

With the series connection, the impedance between I1 and IN is


infinite; so, it would be impossible to proceed. Besides, with the
series connection the maximum burden at 32 A is doubled with
respect to the standard connection: this fact would not be
understood by the test set.

To solve this issue, follow this procedure.


• Using the Manual test program, connect the relay input
between I1 and IN.
• Start half of the maximum current you want to use, and
measure with a voltmeter the voltage drop across I1 and
IN. If you have overload now, the test is impossible at that
current.
• Compute the relay impedance = (voltage drop) / (injected
current).
• Compare the impedance to the maximum burdens table
here below. If the impedance is less than the maximum,
you can proceed; else, you have to reduce your maximum
test current.
Doc. MIE12170 Rev. 1.28 Page 29/88

• Disconnect Manual; reach the front panel, and select the


Auxiliary settings. Here, select "Use as Default Burden",
and input half the impedance you have computed. For
instance, if you want to test at 24 A and the impedance
you measured is 1 Ohm, input 0.5 Ohm.
• Now you can go to your test program, and perform the
test: the impedance is no more measured, and there will
be no overload message.

to connect two amplifiers in parallel, and then to connect them in
series to two more in parallel (see figure). The angle of the first
two is 0°, the angle of the second two must be 180°; the
amplitude of currents must be the same.

2.4.3 Low current ranges: option IN2-CDG

ith DRTS 66 the full power is available only at the current of 32


A. This is good for the test of relays with the nominal current of 5
; if relays are rated 1 A, the available power can be not
adequate to perform the test of high burden relays. In addition to
the his, some old electromechanical relays (as CDG of GE) have very
ows. low nominal current settings; this implies having high VA rating at
low currents.

The option IN2-CDG solves these problems, by means of a set of


hree current transformers, with the following characteristics:
· Primary: 15 A;
· Secondary: 0.5 A; 1 A; 2.5 A; 5 A;
· Nominal power: 100 VA.
- Connections:
· Four primary side sockets (11, 12, I3, IN);
· Three independent outputs, with one phase socket per current
range and two zero sockets;
· Ease of connecting outputs in star or delta configuration.
· For the single phase tests it is possible to have three times the
above power, connecting current outputs in series.
rrent · Maximum output voltage and burden vs. output current: see the
following table.

NOTE: 0.5 A and 1 A outputs may have a dangerous voltage:


don't touch the connections during generation!

The option includes four connecting cables to DRTS 66 current


outputs, 1 m long, 2.5 sq. mm cross section. Included is a bridge
for star connection. The test program TDMS accepts the
transformer ratio, so that currents can be programmed with their
value after the option. The following schematic shows how the

2.4.4 High power, single phase outputs: HPB-400 and HPB-


600

The HPB-400 and HPB-600 external options are made of a current


transformer, which allows boosting the current output power.
The need for this option comes from two facts:
• Old electromechanical relays have high burdens; and,
even worse,
• The burden is the same for relays rated 1 A or 5 A.
Doc. MIE12170 Rev. 1.28 Page 35/88

These facts can be a problem for our test set, because the output
power decreases linearly with the output current.

Let us take the example of a relay with a burden of as many as


20 VA at 1 A or 5 A. From these values, we can derive the relay
ge: impedance: it is 0.8 Ohm for the 5 A mode! and 20 Ohm for the 1
A model.

• We can test the 5 A relay model at currents at currents


less than 20 A, which can be OK for distance relays, but
bad for over-current relays;
• We cannot test the 1 A relay model.

The options HPB-400 and HPB-600 offer the solution, because


they have the following features.
HPB-400:
• Primary current: 32 A;
• Secondary 1: 20 A, 370 VA;
• Secondary 2: 4 A, 300 VA;
• Secondary 3: 1 A, 300 VA.

Coming to our example, with the option:
• For the 5 A relay type, at 20 A we can drive: with HPB-

more than 0.8 Ohm;
• For the 1 A relay type, at 2 A we can drive: with HPB-

more than the 20 Ohm of the relay. With HPB-600, we

can drive 25 Ohm at 1 A, which are more than the 20

Doc. MIE12170 Rev. 1.28 Page 40/88

o Prior to testing, the test set has to measure the


burden: as we are using a series connection, this
poses a problem. To avoid the problem, connect
DRTS66 11 to the HPB-600 11 socket, and DRTS66
IN to the HPB-600 12 socket. NOTE: with this
connection, you have half of the power; however,
for tests at 1 A, 4 A and, very likely, also the others
currents, this power is usually more than
enough.
o Program a current half of the nominal one, and
start a test: the test set will inject it, an keep the
measured burden.
o Now, you can try generating the nominal current,
and see: only if the burden is too high, proceed
with the next step.
o For the maximum power, connect 11 and 12 only to
the corresponding red sockets: IN is not used.
Program 11 and 12 with the same amplitude, but
12 at 1800.
o Perform your tests, taking care to have always 11
and 12 equal, and at 180°; else, they would signal
overload.
o IMPORTANT: don't reset outputs; else, after a
reset, the test set repeats the bu rden
measurement, and you have to connect again to 11
and IN.
o IMPORTANT: after an overload, the test set
repeats the burden measurement, and you have to
connect again to I1 and IN.
• If you have two HPB-400 options, you can also:
o Connect two DRTS XX current outputs to two
modules. Currents must have the same value and
the same angle.
o Connect the modules outputs in series on the same
range, to double the output power of that range.

explain you in the following what is it, why does it damages the
amplifiers, and how to perform it in the way that avoids faults.

puts, not four; so, only current phase outputs are connected,
and not the neutral.

The test can be started only if the three currents are equal in
value, and phase shifted by 1200; else, the test set would
immediately generate an over-load fault alarm. If currents
are the same, our test sets are so accurate that each current
closes its path on the other two, and no alarm is generated.

The only instance where this connection could be necessary is
testing differential transformer relay protections, where one side
has a Delta connection and the compensator is included in the
relay.

2.4.6 Voltage outputs

Voltages are connected to safety sockets (6).

Output V4 can be operated either as a fourth voltage, program


controlled, or as the zero sequence voltage of V1, V2 and V3; the
selection is performed via software. Another selection is the value
of the zero-sequence voltage, that can be (Vl+V2+V3)/3 or
(Vl+V2+V3)/1.73 (vector sum), also program selectable. Be

/88
careful because with the latter selection the zero-sequence
voltage can be higher than 300 V: in this case, the instrument
gives an error alarm message.

Purpose of Vo is to test relays that need the zero sequence


oltage along with three phase voltages. For this purpose the V4
selection is applicable; otherwise, the user should compute V4
'rorn V1, V2 and V3 with the above formula.

For normal use, select V4. The neutral of V4 is VN.

sary is e est of first zone settings in distance relays), the overload

value) are the following, as a function of the maximum test

OUTPUT 4X 85 1060 85 200 40 100
OUTPUT 3X 100 900 100 160 50 80

B) Series connection

It is possible to double the output voltage by connecting the


burden between two outputs that are phase shifted at 1800; in
this instance burdens are the following.

VOLTAGE 600 250 125


(V) VA IZmx VA IZmx VA IZmx
OUTPUT 200 11800 200 1320 100 1160

Note that it is impossible to connect in series more than two


voltage generators because in the relay the neutral is the
same for all phases.
So, if you connect the output V1 to the relay input VA, and the
output V2 (= - V1) to the relay input VN, then, you cannot
connect the relay input VB to the output V3, and relay input VN to
the output V4 (= - V3), because you would make a short circuit
between test set outputs V2 and V4. You could do it only if
voltage inputs would have two wires for each voltage input, but
this is not usually the case.

'1 test C) Parallel connection


ne.
- is connection allows increasing the power only if two outputs
only are put in parallel: the power can be doubled. If the six
tputs are put in parallel in three pairs of two, as the power
put with six output is 50 VA at 300 V, the paralleled outputs
• ould give 100 VA at 300 V: this is just what the test set
rovides when only three outputs are used.

2.4.7 AC voltage relay auxiliary supply

9 the .n some relays the auxiliary voltage is an AC voltage rather than


D°; in a DC voltage. In this instance the AC voltage generator can be
...•
sed to feed the relay; however, this must be performed with
some care.

e first check to perform is about the power consumption. On


:>RTS 66 the available power is 50 VA (6 outputs), 85 VA (4
utputs), or 100 VA (3 outputs) at 300 V to 125 V; then, the
I two oower decreases linearly with the voltage. However, the
5 the maximum relay consumption should be no more than one
fifth of this power. The reason is that with an AC supply the
d the oad is usually made of a rectifying bridge plus a filter capacitor.
annot ith this circuit, the consumption is concentrated on the 2 ms
VN to of the voltage peak; therefore, the current is five times as
:ircuit igher than the one expected.

For example, if the relay nominal voltage is 100 V AC and the


power consumption is 10 VA, the current sink should be: 10 / 100
= 0.1 A. Due to the concentration of current, current peak is
actually 0,5 A, that multiplied by 100 V makes 50 VA instead of
10 VA.

Second problem, when the voltage is first applied to the relay,


the filter capacitor is a short-circuit. The test set overload signal
is delayed by about 60 ms to overcome transient situations;
during this time, the capacitor is loaded, at the maximum current
yield of the amplifier: if at the end of 60 ms the capacitor is not
yet charged, DRTS 66 signals a fault on voltage output.

To avoid this, we need to increase slowly the voltage supply, and


to keep it constant during the test: this is performed as follows.
· Go to pre-fault definition, and program a low voltage, say 5 V.
· Press Apply pre-fault values: 5 V are generated. Thanks to the
low voltage, the current is limited.
· Program now 10 V, and generate them.
· Continue with 10 V steps, until you reach the desired voltage
supply.
· This performed, go to the fault definition, and program the same
value for the voltage; then, perform your tests, but DO NOT USE

In conclusion, if the AC voltage output is used as the relay


auxiliary supply:

test set is one fifth of the specified one;

OTE. Suppose that the auxiliary DC voltage generator is

Itage. In this instance you can use a voltage output, selected at
z. You can have the full power output, but the problem at
start-up is still there, so APPLY THE VOLTAGE SLOWLY, as
explained above; else, the amplifier will signal overload.

For the DC voltage, pay attention to the input filter capacitor: this
is a short circuit as the voltage is applied. When connected to this
type of load, the instrument drives 1 A for the maximum time of
0.5 s; after this, the instrument signals over-load. At 110 V the
DRTS 66 can drive a capacitor of 1000 IJF; bigger values can
cause an overload alarm. In this instance, it can be enough to
reduce the voltage.

2.4.9 Trip inputs

Trip inputs (8) are separated in six groups, with isolated zero
references: Cl- C2; C3 - C4; C5 - C6; C7 - C8; C9 - CI0 (IMPl)
and C11 - C12 (IMP2). The connection can be made to safety
sockets (14). A cable with six banana connectors is provided for
the case that the reference is the same for all inputs. NOTE: if the
TRANSCOPE option is present, inputs are reduced to ten, and
they are: Cl to C6; C9 to C12. C7 and C8 are not connected.

The selection of input voltage clean or under voltage is performed


on the healthy values, together with other selections: de-bounce
time and value of input voltage.
If the input is voltaqe clean the program selects automatically the
threshold of 24 V, while the voltage wetting the contacts is 12 V.

If the input is under voltage, select 5 V for logical inputs, or the


nominal voltage of the site. In case the 5 V level is selected with
a voltage of 110 V, trip delays can be slightly modified; however,
circuits will not be damaged. If the selection is voltage clean while
contacts are with voltage, the contact can be seen closed while it
is open; anyway, no error occurs. The following table
summarizes the nominal voltage and the corresponding nominal
threshold.

-00 us is normally a good compromise. If the input is AC voltage,

both with local and with PC control.

2.4.10 Energy meters testing

The energy meter test is performed using the Energy Meters test
program. For the details of the program, please refer to the
corresponding manual.

The program uses the input sockets marked IMP1 using DRTS66
as the sample source, and IMP! plus IMP2 for the tests with a
reference energy meter.

DRTS 66 outputs are accurate enough to test class 0.1 energy


meters: in this case, the following figure shows how to perform
the connection.

make sure that there is no bounce in the input, as
otherwise they would be counted.

The reading head can be used for rotating disk meters, and for
meters with an LED signaling light.

For rotating disk meters, power-on the head, and press the Disk
or LED Switch to the left. Then, mount the scanning head so that
the green light is lighting the rotating disk.

Next, start the Energy Meter program, select the Manual test to
feed the meter, and move the adjustment knob so that the LED

Then, mount the scanning head so that the green light from the

connector (10). Pin-out assignment and disposition are shown in


Appendix 1. The difference between the two is that the relay
operation has a nominal delay of 5 to 8 ms in closing, and of 4 to
6 ms in opening, while the transistor operation has a maximum
delay of 50 us with respect to the current and voltage fault
injection.

Both outputs are operated via software; their operation can be


timed with respect to fault injection.

For relay outputs, the relay under test is connected to sockets


(20), either to the Normal Closed or to the Normal Open contact.
Relay outputs are voltage free, and can be polarized if necessary.
Contact rating is: maximum voltage 250 V AC; maximum current
5 A.

These contacts are foreseen to drive loads such as coils; to avoid


EMI noise interference, contacts are protected by a capacitor and
by a MOV rated 500 V AC. However, it is good practice to drive
coils that are externally protected against voltage spikes when
the coil is opened.

Transistor outputs are four, and have the following


characteristics: open collector, 24 V, 5 mA. There is a protection
against short-circuit and for voltages more than 24 V; however,
don't abuse them!

The display informs if the output is open or closed: this applies


both with local and with PC control.

2.4.12 Low level signals

Low level signal outputs are optionally available on connector


(10); pin assignment and disposition are reported in appendix l.
Purpose of this output is to use external amplifiers, or to test
relays connected to voltage dividers and to Rogowsky coils.

2.6 Execution of the test and problem solutions

Power-on the PC and then connect it to the powered-on DRTS 66,


to which the relay has already been connected. Before executing
an automatic test, it is a good rule to start the manual program,
and to execute some tests to check that there is no error in the
connections and in parameter setting, and also that it is possible
to d rive the load.

Before test start the test set checks voltage and current output
sockets. If a voltage greater than 15 V is detected on either
output, the test set and the PC give a message of counter-
feed on the voltage or current output: this avoids
connecting test set's outputs to a live wire. In this instance,
remove the voltage before proceeding.

On the auxiliary DC voltage supply, a voltage of 20 V is


immediately sensed and alerted locally: remove the wrong
connection! The following table summarizes the situation.

Doc. MIE12170 Rev. 1.28 Page 64/88

. Error on a current output, usually an overload (including the


open circuit) .
. Over-temperature sensed on a voltage or current amplifier.
The display and PC give a message that helps understanding the
type of fault.
Usually, it is sufficient to correct the load and start over again. In
case of over-temperature, go to zero with the outputs and start
over again after some minute. Other faults have an internal
origin: try again, and, if it does not disappear, it is necessary to
repair the instrument. The troubleshooting manual lists error
messages, and the corresponding corrective action.

Other logic errors can be shown on the display. The error


message explains which kind of error has been sensed. If the
error is in the connection area, check the connection cable.

When everything is OK, it is possible to proceed with the


execution of the test program. The program Help will tell the
operator how to connect the relay.

The way to use TDMS and the dedicated programs is


explained in the corresponding manuals. In general, it is a good
rule to save test results at the end of the test, so that they can be
reloaded and printed.

2.7 Power-off

After all tests have been performed, press the RESET button,
, power-off the test set, pressing the ON/OFF button (18) for
some seconds, and remove all relay connections. Do not power
off with outputs being generated, and with the relay
connected: high voltage spikes could be generated; the test set
could be faulty at next power-on. Don't disconnect the relay
and connect another one before pressing the RESET push-
button: with this action, V and I outputs are isolated, and there
is no danger consequent to the erroneous connection to a live
wire.

3.1 Introduction
~ain. In
nd start DRTS 66 is a high accuracy test set, that uses high quality and
internal high stability components in all the circuits that perform the
ssary to current and voltage generation and measurement. The first
ts error warranty lasts 2 years; after it, it is suggested to check the unit
every 2 yea rs.

e error If the purpose is to perform a test at the accuracy of 0.2%, which


If the is adequate for relay tests, then less accurate instruments can be
used, but in this case the error can be more than the accuracy of
DRTS 66.
ith the
tell the If the pu rpose of the test is to verify deviations from the specified
accuracy, then it is necessary to use the following very high
accuracy instruments. Besides, the following applies:
srns is • Warm-up: 30'.
a good • Test frequency: 50 or 60 Hz.
can be • Temperature: 25°C ± 2 dc.
• Resistive load; burden less than 20% of the maximum
rating.
In the following, the reference is made to the DRTS66
specification document N. SIEI0170.
iutton,
18) for 1. A high accuracy multimeter, which should guarantee a
power maximum AC measurement error of 0.020/0 for voltage and
relay current.
est set This type of accuracy is found only in expensive meters, with at
: relay least 7 digits. If the meter has six digits or less, take care of
push- reading all the accuracy specification: it can be very accurate for
j there the DC voltage measurement, but it decreases by some order of
a live magnitude for the DC current measurement and the AC voltage
measurement. The worst figure is the one related to the AC
current measurement: only extremely accurate meters guarantee
0.02%.
For the voltages, measurement ranges up to 300 V are usually
available.
Doc. MIE12170 Rev. 1.28 Page 66/88

For the currents, often the maximum high accuracy range is 1 A


or 3 A, and for higher currents the accuracy is reduced or the
range is not available. In this latter case, either you use a very
high accuracy (0,01%) current transformer, or you use a very
high accuracy (0,01%) shunt associated to a voltage meter;
however, in both case, the impedance should be less than 0.1
Ohm, to avoid loading too much the generator.

The table below summarizes the maximum errors for current and
voltage outputs. For current outputs, there are two tolerances:
for currents up to 16 A, or between 16 and 32 A. For voltage
outputs, there are two ranges: 125 V and 300 V.

PARAMETER ERROR ERROR


RANGE ERROR 0,01 0,02 %
READING ERROR 0,04 0,08 %
MAXIMUM CURRENT 16 32 A

PARAMETER ERROR ERROR


RANGE ERROR 0,01 %
READING EHHOR 0,04 %
RANGE 1 125 V
RANGE 2 300 V

The computation formula of the maximum error is the following


one.

Max error =
(Range error) * (Range) + (Reading error) *
(Nominal value).

The following table summarizes the minimum and maximum


values for a number of current and voltage outputs.

2. For the test of the phase angle we recommend the use of a
wattmeter: a good phase meter hardly has an error less than
0.2°. The wattmeter can be single phase; the accuracy should be
better than 0.1%.
Measuring the angle with a wattmeter, the phase angle between
current and voltage is set at 0°: the nominal reactive power is
zero; the deviation from zero is caused by the phase error to be
Doc. MIE12170 Rev. 1.28 Page 68/88

adjusted, and is proportional to the product of V*I, and to the


sine of the error angle cD, and therefore to the radiant error: VAr
= V*I*sin(cD) = V*I*cD(rad). Read the VAr value, and divide it by
V*I; then, convert into degrees by multiplying the result by
360/6.28. The specification is: maximum error 0.015°.

3. In case of doubt about the available power, the following


resistors shou Id be used:
· Voltage output: at 125 V, use 330 Ohm, 200 W; at 300 V, use
1800 Ohm, 200 W. The test should be performed on an output at
a time.
· Current output: at 16 A, use 1 Ohm, 1000 W. The test should be
performed on an output at a time;
· Battery simulator: at 110 V, use 330 Ohm, 100 W.

At the end of the test, if deviations are not acceptable, get in


touch with ISA and your agent.
If it is necessary to perform the calibration, the test set should be
returned to ISA: the calibration is performed using an automatic
apparatus.

3.2 Voltage outputs

The accuracy test is performed as follows:


.With the local control, program a maximum time of 999 sand
the fault value of 1 V on all phases;
· Connect the first output to the high accuracy multi-meter;

table;
· Stop the test and repeat the test with other ranges.
The power test is performed as follows:

• At 110 V, acceptable limits are 107.8 V to 112.33 V;
• At 260 V, acceptable limits are 254.7 V to 265.3 V.

3.6 Trip inputs and auxiliary outputs

The test is performed as follows:


· .With the local control, program trip inputs without voltage;
· Connect the six C black sockets to the contact C of AI;
· Connect trip inputs C1-C6 to the Open contact of AI;
· On fault values, select all inputs as Normal Open;
· Select the trip of Al on fault values, and program trip delay
equal to zero;
· Start the test: all timers will display a trip of about 5 ms; this is
the delay of relay AI;
· Modify at will the delay of AI: trip delays will be equal to the
programmed time, plus the delay of the relay itself;
· Repeat the procedure with A2, A3, A4: by this also auxiliary
outputs are tested;
· Repeat the procedure with C7 - C12: all inputs are tested.

Errors on this area can be solved only with a repair intervention


of the unit.

Trip inputs threshold settings can be tested as follows.


· Program the battery simulator at 110 V. Connect C inputs to the
zero of the battery simulator sockets (7). Connect the C of Al to
the positive of the battery simulator sockets (7). Program trip
inputs with a nominal voltage of 100 V. Start a test with Al
closing with a delay of zero: the measured trip times will be about
5 ms, as with the no voltage test.

If you want to have a closer control of the time delay


measurement performed by the test set, it can be verified as
follows.

1. The reference for the time measurement is when the fault is


injected. This reference can be monitored as follows:
· Program the fault frequency equal to zero.

4 GPS OPTION
) the
4.1 Introduction

"he GPS option has the purpose to allow testing the following
relays:
. Distance relays connected with permissive or blocking schemes;
. Line differential relays.

For the test are requested two test sets in distant sites, and the
oossibility to simulate faults at the meantime on both
nstruments. In the first instance the timing error can be in the
range of some millisecond; for the second one, the maximum
tirninq error is 100 us: a bigger error implies a phase angle error
hich causes a not acceptable current differential error.

4.2 The GPS option function

"he GPS option can generate the synchronization impulses. They


ast 10 ms and have a maximum error of 2 us between two GPS.
- ese impulses can be generated as the seconds of the absolute
~ me are elapsed, with a pace selectable among 5 - 10 - 20 - 30
- 40 - 60 s. The first impulse is generated after one to two
complete periods are elapsed from the moment the START/STOP
ushbutton was pressed. If, for instance, the selection is 30 s,
-npulses are generated when the absolute time is:

(hh; mm; 0"; hh; mm; 30"; hh; mm+1; 0"; hh; mm+1; 30" ... ).

4.3 Directions for the use of GPS option

The operators at both sites should connect first GPS to the mains
by the plug (6): the 1 pps light starts turning on, thus assuring
that GPS is operational.

After this locate the antenna, that should be set in a place that
allows it to see the sky at an angle of 1600 all around. Usually it
is enough to put it on the roof of the protections building. Another
important thing is that the antenna should reach an height lower
Doc. MIE12170 Rev. 1.28 Page 74/88

than the lightning arrester; else, in case of lightning, there would


be a danger for the operator and the device.

The antenna provided has a cable 6 m long, and the extension


cable is 20 m long: usually, this is enough for the testing
purpose. The user can increase the distance by a further
extension cable, provided that it is made of satellite graded
shielded cable, such as CT/I00 or CTj167, with BNC connectors.
The maximum cable length should be such not to attenuate more
than 10 dB the signal at 1.5 GHz: for CT/100 this means 30 m
maximum. However, in this situation the antenna must have a
completely free view.

After the antenna is located, connect it to GPS with connector (7).


The green GPS locked light (5) turns on within 15 minutes
(typically 1 minute); if not, the cable is too long or the antenna
view is limited by some shielding building.

In each substation, connect the DRTS 66 to the relay to be tested


(see figure).

Connect DRTS 66 to the PC and select in Preferences DC Voltage,
24 V for C5. Select also De-bounce delay = 0 for C5.

Select the pulse interval on switch (2): 30 s or more are a good


choice, to have enough time between the tests START command
on the PC and the arrival of the synchronization impulse.
Operators should program the same time interval on the two
GPS. After this, they should press the GPS START/STOP button
(1): its light turns on, and the PULSE light (3) turns on as the
first synchronization impulse is generated; it will be applied after

5 OPTIONAL AMPLIFIERS AMI 332 AND AMI 632

5.1 Introduction

The optional amplifiers AMI 332 and AMI 632 have the purpose to
allow controlling nine or twelve currents at the meantime. With
AMI 632 it is also possible to generate six currents rated 64 A by
connecting in parallel the outputs of DRTS 66 and of the optional
amplifier. With AMI632 it is also possible to have three currents
at 128 A, or one current at 256 A.

8 5.2 Description of AMI 332 and AMI 632

he optional amplifiers include:


· Three current generators (AMI 332) or six current generators
(AMI 632);
· The power supply;
· The control boards that supervise the unit.

Physically, AMI 332 and AMI 632 are housed in a container that is
he same as DRTS 66, 3 U high, with handle for ease of
ransportation. Amplifiers are the same as those used in DRTS
66.

n the front panel are located the current output sockets and the
Dower-on push-button; in the rear are located the connector to
DRTS 66, and the power supply socket.

The following is the AMI632 front panel.

5.3.2 Connection to the relay under test


Before executing the test with AMI check that the burdens of the
relay under test are compatible with the maximum load. Consider
that the power of AMI outputs is the same as DRTS 66.
Doc. MIE12170 Rev. 1.28 Page 80/88

The connection of DRTS 66 and AMI to the relay under test


depends upon the choice about the AMI function.

Aside currents, all other signals (voltages, trip input, and auxiliary
outputs) shall be connected to DRTS 66, as explained in the
former chapters.

5.3.2.1 Use of AMI to have more currents


In this instance, currents 11 - 16 will be connected to DRTS 66,
and:
• Currents 17-19 to AMI 332;
• Currents 17-112 to AMI 632.
All DRTS 66 voltage outputs are available: in all, 9 or 12 currents
and 6 voltages at the meanwhile. Current ranges and outputs of
the two units are independently set.

5.3.2.2 Six currents rated 64 A


With AMI 632, it is possible to perform a six phase test at 64 A.
To this purpose, connect in parallel current outputs of DRTS 66
and of AMI 632 (11 with 17, 12 with 18, 13 with 19, 14 with 110, IS
with Ill, 16 with 112): the maximum burden is 0.2 Ohm for all
outputs.

If it is necessary to perform a three phase test at 128 A, connect
in parallel current outputs of DRTS 66 to those of AMI 632, as
test
follows: 11 with 14 with 17 with no; 12 with IS with 18 with 111;
13 with 16 with 19 with 112. Maximum power is 500 VA @ 80 A;
burden is 0.08 Ohm for all outputs. Outputs are phase shifted of

6 MAINS SYNCHRONISER OPTION

The option is made of a mains supply plug that fits into the mains
socket, and which has an optical fiber for the connection to the
test set IRIG-B input. The purpose is to synchronize the outputs
of two test sets to the mains: as the synchronization is repeated
every cycle, the test set stays locked to the mains for the infinity.

There are two instances where the option can be necessary:


. Generating a current or voltage into a device that is also taking
a signal from the mains;
. Synchronizing two test sets to the mains, and then using them
to test line differential relays, in places where the GPS option
cannot be used.

The following schematic applies to the test of line differential


relays.

The optical fiber of the mains synchronizer has to be connected to


the IRIG-B CONNECTOR of both test sets.

Start the program that allows performing the differential test with
mains synchronization: both test sets will be locked to the mains.
Now it is possible to apply the nominal current to both ends: as if
this is not performed at the meantime, the relay will trip until
both inputs are sensed: just ignore the corresponding trip. This is
the pre-fault situation
/88 Doc. MIE12170 Rev. 1.28 Page 85/88

From this moment on, it is possible to perform any test, of the


type healthy - fault - healthy: it will be possible to explore the
entire relay curve. If, when both currents are applied, the relay is
e mains still in the trip condition, this is because currents are 1800
to the shifted: just turn one of the two options.
