Advanced TransPlay<br />

Ba Pr AP Me Mt Un<br />

� �<br />

Advanced TransPlay enables the CMC system to test with transient signals. Transient signal<br />

data, obtained from fault recorders, CMC 356 or CMC 256plus with EnerLyzer, or network<br />

simulation programs, can be loaded and viewed, processed, and replayed with Advanced<br />

TransPlay. The reaction of the protection device tested with such signals is recorded and<br />

assessed, and a test report is generated.<br />

This makes it an ideal tool for<br />

• troubleshooting with fault records<br />

• relay evaluation with transient files (e.g. EMTP calculations)<br />

• end-to-end testing<br />

Advanced TransPlay supports the following file formats:<br />

COMTRADE (C37.111-1991 and P37.111/D11-1999), PL4 and CSV.<br />

After a transient file has been loaded, the part of the signal to be replayed is selected by<br />

markers. It is possible to repeat parts of the signal, e.g. for extending the pre-fault time. Markers<br />

can be set in order to point out significant events in the recording, such as fault inception,<br />

starting, tripping, etc. These markers are the basis for time measurements.<br />

Besides playing back voltage and current signals, Advanced TransPlay can also replay the binary<br />

signals in a fault recording via the CMC's binary outputs. Additional binary signals (e.g. carrier<br />

send/received signals from communication-based schemes) can be added. During playback,<br />

the selected voltage, current, and binary signals are applied to the protection device. Playback<br />

can be synchronized via GPS, IRIG-B protocol or by a time pulse applied to a binary input.<br />

The reaction of the protection device is measured and assessed on the basis of time measurements.<br />

Absolute and relative time measurements are possible:<br />

• Absolute time measurements determine for instance starting or trip times of the relay<br />

during signal playback<br />

• Relative measurements compare the relay's reaction during playback to its behavior stored<br />

in the recording (reference)<br />

This makes it possible to investigate<br />

• if the relay scatters (differences between recording and actual behavior during playback)<br />

• how a different protection device operates under the same conditions<br />

Advanced TransPlay provides a repetition mode; the individual results for each repetition, as<br />

well as average and standard deviation values (statistic functions), are displayed.<br />
