Protection Relays Testers
Protection Relays Testers
(OP)
I am planning to purchase a new three-phase and/or a new single-phase relay tester to replace our old 'dinosaur' single-phase Multi-Amp unit.
I was curious was everyone else is using, and what they thought of them.
I am particularly interested in hearing from those who purchased a 'modern' unit in the last couple of years.

It has many features and can be set up to run automatically with little inferace between the operator and the set
my recommendation

Consider Doble F6000-series gear. {F6150}
RE: Protection Relays Testers
Else, you can purchase Freja, from Programma Inc. Both Omicron and DRTS are fully contolled with a PC (you can never work this device without a PC) but Freja lets you control it with a userfriendly interface even if you don't have a PC at site.
If you want to buy a single phase tester, I can advice Sverker 750 (or a better one). A cheap and multi-functioning solution where you can test other devices (CT, VT etc) with one test set.
Whatever device you prefer, buy a transport valise if you are always travelling (I know what it means when the lifter throws your test set inside the aircraft baggage).

Also, whatever system you go with you should plan on it being your company standard since setting up training and the automated test plans for the relays take time. Don't buy Doble this year and Omnicron Next year. Your techs will appriciate it.

Thats the name. We will be getting this software in the next year (so I am told). Pretty spendy software but sounds like it will be well worth it (we have 40+ hydro plants to deal with, with way to many test sets).

Not compareable to Doble at all.

Any links to info on the Pro test software?
Making the smoke come out is easy; getting it back in is a bugger.
RE: Protection Relays Testers
Please, can I have details of your order/ordering information for the cofiguration+accessories that you have. I presume you have tested satisfactorily T/L Protection relays of all the popular makes/vendors. We are in the process of finalizing an order for the same Omicron CMC256 with Universal software, and your info on what accessories you have got will probably help us consolidate the order. Please do let us know about the freebies that come along with the package too
Best regards

Top of the line is a 4 channel version, delivering 30Amps to all channels. Alternatively you can connect all channels together and get 120Amps. Some 5Amp relay types require a lot of current capability from a tester. Many testers struggle in this.
User configurable testing macros. They also have user forums and seminars where MPRT users share info on using this equipment.
Laptop PC not required in testing. Touch sensitive screen is used to operate the tester.
