Application
The most significant feature of the STVI is its ability to provide
the user with a very simple way to manually test, for both
commissioning and maintenance, from the simple overcurrent relay
to the most complex relays manufactured today. Manual operation
is simplified through the use of a built-in computer operating system
and the touch screen. The STVI eliminates the need for a computer
when testing virtually all types of relays. Intuitive menu screens and
touch screen buttons are provided to quickly and easily select the
desired test function.

The user can toggle back and forth between the two values to

then change to the Fault values and start the Timer running. When

Once all of the Binary Inputs, Outputs, Prefault, Fault and Reclose

to get a visual representation of the voltage and current outputs, as
well as a visual of the binary inputs and outputs for each stage of

Here the user selects which Zone (up to 6 zones may be defined),
type of fault, direction, tolerance values, inputs the reach, max
torque (line) angle, any offset, or load encroachment settings. The
software draws the operating characteristic(s) of the relay defined by
the user settings. The user may select to view single zone or multiple
zones. Pressing the green check button takes the user to the COF

Fault Calculator
The Fault Calculator allows the user to automatically calculate fault
quantities for phase-to-phase, phase-to-ground and three-phase
faults. The user inputs variables for: line voltage, line Z with angle,
relay volts with angle, relay amps and compensation factors K0 or
Z0/Z1 ratio. The compensation factor is applied to both the source Z
and the line Z for all faults which include ground.
Test Wizards
All versions of AVTS software come with test wizards. The wizards
walk the user through a step by step procedure to create a relay
specific test(s). Wizards are available for the most common types
of relays such as, Overcurrent, Over/Under Voltage, Frequency,
Differential, Distance, Synchronizing and Directional. The following
is a brief description of each test wizard.

Time Saving
Each relay test module is an extremely valuable product for any relay
test technician or engineer. It provides the user with a quick, easy
way to test a specific relay to the relay manufacture’s specifications,
as well as eliminates the time and costs associated with users having
to create their own test routines.
One-Touch TestTM
The One-Touch Test utilizes a Visual Basic® Script Control tool.
The script file works with Megger Test Modules that have been
specifically created to make use of this feature. The Script file allows
AVTS software to communicate to a microprocessor-based relay via
ASCII text serial communication, and download the relay settings
into the AVTS relay Setting Screen automatically. Then, using the
Group Execute feature in AVTS, automatically test the relay to the
actual relay settings with one touch of the mouse button.

Database
The database is Windows Access compatible. Data is saved in a
conventional tree format to facilitate ease of use.
The following figure illustrates the AVTS navigator Relay tab when
AVTS is in use. The relay data has been expanded to illustrate the
organization.
Modbus Communications
AVTS now has the capability to communicate with relays via
the Modbus protocol. This allows the AVTS user the ability to
automatically download relay settings from the relay via the Modbus
addressing scheme into the AVTS relay setting screen. In addition
AVTS can now monitor the relay protection or metering elements
via the Modbus communications. This means the user will not need
to change the relay outputs, thus test the relay without making any This example shows the organization tree descending by region,

Connections Editor
A picture is worth a thousand words. It seems like modern relays
need a thousand connections today, so the Connections Editor is
ideal to show how to connect the test system to the device under
test. Powerful graphic tools are available to show test connections
(see following Figure).
Test Editor
The real power of AVTS is in the Test Editor window. No more
complicated test macros to write or edit. Instead, the user selects
from a variety of icons representing various test macro functions.
For example, in the Test Editor Window Figure, certain icons are Connections Editor Screen provides relay test connections details
