New Relay Testing Software

Enhanced Test Functions

1. Capable of testing IEC 61850-compliant protection equipment
2. Automatic determination of tripping characteristics
3. Batch function for all types of test sequences
4. Consideration of different instrument transformer installation lacations
5. Reproduction of 1-pole and 3-pole automatic reclosing operations (ARCs)

Simplified Operation

1. Microsoft Office Fluent user interface
2. New progression graph for controlling and evaluating tests
3. Automatic generation of dynamic test procedures
4. Automatic allocation of inputs and outputs
5. Dialogue boxes with contextual help

Function-Specific Test Settings

1. Fault definition with symmetrical components
2. Entry of line-earth or phase-phase voltages as requiered
3. Display and configuration with primary or secondary values
4. Parameterization of IDMT characteristics with value pairs
5. Definition and evaluation of thermal characteristics

Centralized Data Management

1. Global definition of protection functions
2. Targeted adjustment of relay settings and test instructions
3. Global settings for instrument transformers, earthing and the direction of the rotating field
4. Graphical display of connection schemes
5. Integration and management of external documents

Fluent-Interface

The restructured Microsoft Office Fluent user interface provides a wide range of new functions.

It was chosen to give users faster access to the full range of functions of the ARTES V4 software.

Traditional menus and toolbars have been replaced by a multifunctional panel (ribbon) which organises and presents functions user-specifically and makes important features of the software easier to find on the user interface.

The screen layout has been optimised and enhanced by the introduction of result-oriented galleries which make working with the ARTES V4 software both faster and more efficient.
