Doble F6150/ProTest Test Plans
Doble F6150/ProTest Test Plans
(OP)
We have used Pulsar for several years, and we just recently purchased a Doble F6150. Our techs are familiar with the Doble lineup so I am confident that they will be able to run with this. My problem is the creation of test plans. I understand the macros as they are similar to those of the Omicron, but do pre-exisiting test plans exist somewhere? I have a problem with re-creating plans that I know exist somewhere (maybe that is laziness). I understand that the User-Group distributes test plans, but where? I found a few downloadable plans on the Doble website, but nothing for SEL relays.
I appreciate any info you can provide.

RE: Doble F6150/ProTest Test Plans
Suspected is one of two situations. First, where is the software that should have been shipped with the gear? Second, no offense is meant, but has someone in your organization contacted Doble in MA or through their/your local rep? The exact same questions would apply to higher-level M-A or Omi equipment.
What happened when you called Schweitzer locally or at ares code 509?

Again—not meaning to be antagonistic, but is it possible that your procurement folks have not annual user-group fees? {Hopefully your/their rep mentioned 6150s are useless without a “computer.”}
RE: Doble F6150/ProTest Test Plans
We do in fact have annual user-group fees, and it is likely I should be presenting this question to the fine folks at Doble. I just never seem to get great customer support from them. We have multitudes of other doble equipment (M4000, TDR9000, etc.). I just thought there might be some techs out there that have used these units on a daily basis, and have some valuable input.
Thanks

RE: Doble F6150/ProTest Test Plans
Kyle, pardon me for being a little thickheaded. So much machine-control and configuration software to deal with clouds basic issues. My primary use of F2K(+/F6K now) gear is dated, and my cohort is the one with the patience to deal with ProTest implementation.
It’ll take some phone calls, but I would go to the SEL applications-support folks. With increasingly complex boxes [er, test sets AND relays] on either end of the test leads, the task gets daunting on a daily basis.
Aside, there are growing numbers trapped under fluorescent lights that want to reduce anything plugged into a PC port as an {increasingly trivial} peripheral device—effectivley losing sight of the real goal in coming to work in the first place. I realize this does not deal on a right-here/right-now basis, but besides the SEL bullpen, there are some good (annual) relay schools dealing with simple and complex testing—typically with brand-specific tracks.

I've spent the last few days creating a fully functional test plan for the SEL 387 transformer differential relay and 487B bus differential relay. Let me know if you require these relays. I am currently starting to create some for generator protection relays (300G, M-3425A, G60, etc.). Let me know if you have any you would like to share.

RE: Doble F6150/ProTest Test Plans
Yeah Kyle2022 i would be happy to have the SEL 387 and 487 test plans if you don`t mind.Has anyone ever dealt with the REF545 ABB relays if so how did you find them,is there an easy way to understand them,especially the software its driving me nuts.

Sorry if this is no help, but it is all I can do
