Fully Integrated Module

Integration of Arc Flash Analysis & Star View
ETAP Arc Flash is a fully integrated module that takes advantage of all the capabilities already built into Star. The program calculates the individual arcing current contributions and arc fault clearing time of all the protective devices involved in the arc fault by interfacing with Star. The calculated and allowable incident energy curves can be plotted in Star View as a function of time and current.

Generator Decrement Curve

Star provides plotting of the generator decrement curve and display both the symmetrical and asymmetrical decrement curve based on generator no-load or full-load conditions. Excitation system field forcing capability, used to speed up the response of the generator, is also considered when plotting the generator decrement curve.

Multiple Motor Starting & Damage Curves

A motor starting curve can be plotted on a Star view for the purpose of determining overload settings for motor protection devices. Constant Terminal Voltage can be used to plot the motor starting curve based on a constant voltage at the motor terminal. The motor curves have been enhanced by including stator damage curve or running overload curve into Star. Stator curves can be plotted based on multiples of machine fullload amps or actual amp values.

Sequence-of-Operation
Star Sequence-of-Operation evaluates, verifies, and confirms the operation and selectivity of the protective devices for various types of faults for any location directly from the oneline diagram and via normalized TCC curve views. Sequence-of-Operation provides a system wide solution for an accurate and realistic operating time and state of protective devices, such as relay, fuse, circuit breaker, trip devices, contactor, etc. The operation time is calculated for each protective device based on its settings, time current characteristic, and interlocks for a specified fault location and type.

Graphical Animation of Protective Device Operation

Normalized TCC Curve
Normalized (Shifted) TCC mode is an analysis feature in ETAP Star View which is based on Sequence-of-Operation calculation. This analysis mode provides a graphical view of the operation times of protective devices based on their corresponding settings and characteristics for specified fault location and type. Normalized TCC mode graphically displays the TCC curves of protective devices in relation to one and another for a given fault.

Sequence of Event Viewer

The sequence of operation of protective devices are automatically calculated and listed in an Event Viewer, which is dynamically linked with the one-line diagram. This one-step concept utilizes the intelligent one-line diagram and performs a complete set of actions to determine the operation of all protective devices. This includes internal shifting (normalizing) of each TCC curve based on the individual fault contribution level.

Advanced Relay Testing & Transient Simulator

Precise, Flexible, Accurate

Fully Integrated Hardware & Software Relay Testing Solution

The ETAP Advanced Relay Testing and Transient Simulator (ARTTS) is a new concept that utilizes hardware and software technologies for testing, calibrating, and simulating relays. ETAP ARTTS combines the short-circuit and protection device coordination capabilities of ETAP with the relay testing hardware. It provides actual steady-state and transient responses of relays for comparisons with the manufacturers published data. ARTTS is designed to improve system protection, coordination, and reliability, hence decreasing operational and maintenance costs.

Testing, Calibrating, & Simulating Relays

Bridge Between Relay-Testing Hardware & Power System Simulation Technology
ARTTS provides the bridge between the relay-testing hardware and power system simulation technology. While ETAP Star provides a revolutionary method of analyzing and simulating the protective device coordination and protection view via an intelligent one-line diagram, ETAP ARTTS determines the actual operation of protective relays based on steady-state and dynamic transient waveforms and compares the captured relay response with that of manufacturer published curves.

Relay Actual Response

Steady-State Response
ETAP Star exports the relay settings and parameters to ARTTS for current injection into the relay. Based on the required range of the overcurrent and/or fault current, the relay test set then injects multiple currents (single-phase or three-phase) into the relay in order to reconstruct the relay TCC curve based on the actual relay response. The relay test points are then imported to ETAP Star for plotting and comparison with the manufacturer published data.

relay steady-state response relay steady-state response

Transient Response
The ability to simulate relay response under steady-state and transient conditions during both fault and normal system operating conditions provides the necessary tools for protection engineers and technicians to confidently determine and evaluate the design and operation of protection system. Steady-state fault current provides only a snapshot operation of the relay based on sustained current. Transient fault simulation is necessary to determine the actual response time of the relay based on the distributed through fault containing AC and DC decay current.
relay transient response

The waveforms are generated from ETAP and are pragmatically played into the relay through ARTTS. This allows for verification of the relay operation under conditions matching actual system faults. By comparing these sets of curves, Star visually indicates the discrepancies and deviation between the actual (field setting) versus design (intended / ideal) device response characteristics.
