F6300 Power System Simulator User Guide

Steady state relay calibration uses macros to automate tests on protection relays and schemes.
These macros test individual relay functions, such as reach, instantaneous overcurrent, reverse
current response, pick up and dropout, and operation and reset timing.
Dynamic state testing uses a special state simulation macro. The state simulation macro
simultaneously applies sinusoidal components of voltage and current phasors that represent
power system states. For example, these states can be pre-fault, fault, and post-fault.
Transient testing uses the optional ProTesT TPlan. Transient simulation tests can simultaneously
apply sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal waveforms of voltage and current that represent power
system conditions obtained from Disturbance Fault Recorders (DFR) or system modeling tools
such as EMTP or ATP. The DFR and system modeling tool data are typically stored in a
COMTRADE file. ProTesT TPlan can work with COMTRADE files and *.pl4 files.
To enhance the capabilities of the F6300 instruments, ProTesT:
• Automates protective relay tests to reduce testing time and increase accuracy
• Tests complete protection schemes under realistic power system conditions
• Creates standardized test plans with repeatable results
• Stores test plans and test results for later retrieval and analysis
