GE L90 Relay Current Differential Testing

One of the main element or function in the GE L90 relay is current differential. Testing of this element might be tricky. This require formula to calculate the pickup current depend on what terminal is used whether terminal 2 or 3. In this page, will be discuss what formula to use in different situation. But first, check the basic requirements of relay testing. Basic Requirement For Relay Testing Requirements: See the requirements page Isolation of the equipment or circuits: Complete the hazard sheet Phone control room and pick up the necessary switching steps. Complete all the issued switching steps as per approve operating order. Do prove-test-prove and apply earths or lock and tag that issued by the controller as per approved operating order. Define permit area that issued by the controller as per approve operating order. Pick up the permit (Work Authority) Complete the sign on/off sheet. Do the isolation for relay testing as per approved ITP (Instruction Test Procedure) Test the re...

Basic Requirements For Relay Testing

For relay testing, we might use different equipment with different style and also depend on asset owner requirements. In this page, these are the basic requirement to test the relay in our network that we work witth. Relay test set (i.e. Omicron CMC’s) Omicron CMC test sets like CMC256, CMC356 are very common testing device for the relays installed in the power substations, generation, transmission and etc. Test leads Use to connect the CMC to the relay test plugs Relay settings for reference This is a documentation of the as left relay settings the day the relay been commissioned which to be verified in the relay Laptops, recommended 2 units or more Two or more laptops is better for the relay testing because one laptop will be used in the test set like CMC and the other will be use to communicate the relay. If SCADA checks is required, it’s better to use third laptop to communicate the RTU to check if the relay alarms register through the RTU. Test plugs This will be use to isolate th...

Load The Relay Setting File In Omicron Import Filter

Welcome to the fourth part of the Omicron Import Filter tutorial series. In this tutorial, I will show you how to open the relay setting file that generated from the relay software and manipulate the relay setting data inside the Import Filter. Every relay setting that generated by the different relay software are unique that's why data manipulation is also different. In this tutorial, we will focus on MiCOM P12x series, we will going to use the Schneider Electric software called Easergy Studio. In Easergy Studio, we're going to export the relay setting into TXT format because it's easy to manipulate the data. Make sure you have downloaded the Easergy Studio software. Download the sample relay setting file in this link ( Sample Setting File ). Extract the file then open it in the Easergy Studio. Once the setting file is loaded, export the setting file and select the Export to Text file format and make sure the include hidden settings is checked. Click OK button and save it ...

Creating A User Interface In Omicron Test Universe Import Filter

Welcome to my page. This is the third part of the Omicron Import Filter tutorial series. In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a User Interface (UI) inside the Import Filter . UI will be helpful to see the activities during import like in the image below. Unlike the traditional way, it just open the setting file then wait until the setting files populated in the test object and wait until the confirmation of completion. Now open the MyImportFilter project in Visual Studio that we've created in the previous tutorial which can be found here ( Omicron Import Filter - Create New Filter  and  Omicron Import Filter - Install And Use Newly Created Import Filter ). Check those tutorials if you haven't done creation of the project. Now add new form by clicking Add Form (Windows Forms) in the Project menu or right clicking in the MyImportFilter project at the solution explorer then selecting Add > Form (Windows Forms) . Set the name to  FormSample.vb then click Ad...

Install And Use Newly Created Import Filter In Omicron Test Universe

Welcome to my page. This is the second part of the Omicron Import Filter tutorial series. In this tutorial, I will show you how install  and use the Import Filter that we've created in the previous tutorial in this series using two methods.  The first one via Test Object and the second one is via script. Open the Visual Studio project called MyImportFilter that we created in the first part of tutorial which can be found here ( Omicron Import Filter - Create New Filter ). Once the project opened, right click on the project at the solution explorer the click Open Folder in File Explorer. The project file directory will open. Open the  bin\Debug folder and you will find the two files in that folder ( MyImportFilter.dll and  SampleFilter.xriofilter ). Create new folder in that directory and set the folder name to  MyImportFilter . Move the  MyImportFilter.dll file to the  MyImportFilter folder then, copy the  MyImportFilter folder and the  Sa...

Create New Import Filter In Visual Studio For Omicron Test Universe

Welcome to my page and welcome to another series of tutorials. This series called Omicron Import Filter . Import Filter is a useful feature added in the XRIO (eXtended Relay Interface by Omicron) converter which also known as Test Object inside the Omicron Control Center test document. Import filter is use to import data from a different source outside the Test Universe software like relay settings file of any format created by a relay software. Import Filters are accessed thru File > Import Relay Settings in the Test Object . In the dialog that opens select one of the available filters, and set it to be the default one. Import Filters can also be accessed thru script. This tutorial will be divided into parts that's why I called this series. In this tutorial (first part), I will show you how to create new import filter from the scratch. This can be written using .NET languages like VB, C# and etc.  Technically the Import Filter is a .NET assembly that cont...

Using User Defined Field In Omicron Control Center Document

Welcome to my tutorial page. In this tutorial, I will show you how to use UserDefined field in the OCC document.  In the Report View of the Control Center, you can customize your overall report. Test modules may be embedded in the report, and run from it. One report can be used as a standard template to retest and compare one or more test objects. Example, by inserting basic field like page number, page count, page title and etc. UserDefined field is basically the same with the basic field but it can only use programmatically. Because if insert UserDefined field it will display nothing or empty. So, this is the tutorial all about, how to use these fields.  Now download this file  Omicron Control Center - UserDefined Field . This file was created in the previous tutorial series called Omicron Control Center Custom Dialog using Test Universe 4.20. If you can't open this file, your software might be outdated. You have to upgrade you Test Universe to version 4.20 or chec...
