1 KRT Software Instruction

1.1 Basic Concept


KRT can be considered as a "simple but still powerful" software for
testing most complex protection relays, energy meters & transducers
etc. KRT finds its application at power utilities as well as at
manufacturer's place. Kingsine's approach is to equip its customers
with the all in one software with advance features inside. We have a
fully automatic " test center" facility to test even the most typical
multifunctional relays on a single click .

The reason behind KRT's success lies in "your priceless feedbacks".

Yes, We have received and successfully incorporated numerous


feedbacks from our esteemed customers & team mates , making KRT
a grand success . We believe that "perfection is the continuous
process" & we are always open for receiving better ideas to from your
side
(contact us on email: [email protected]).

While using KRT a user can test -:

Complex relays using basic AC/DC Test Module .


Complex relays using Advance Test Modules
Multifunctional Relays ( Using test center )
IEC61850 enabled IED's ( GOOSE & Sampled Values )
Energy Meters
Transducers
Merging Units

7 KRT Software Instruction

Eagle Eye View - Relay Testing


Relay is a switching device, which issues a trip command to the
Circuit Breaker during abnormal fault conditions.

A Relay receives the input signals from CT’s/ PT’s and its program
calculates the fault conditions as per application. It issues a trip
command to the Circuit Breaker on sensing a faulty condition.

Relay trip time (dT) is the time elapsed between the "Arrival" of
fault condition and "Issuing" Trip command

Relay testing ( General Steps )


Step 1: Relay Testing Kit injects fault in form of I & V on respective
CT & PT points of Relay under test . The Timer of Relay Testing Kit
starts at the moment of fault injection.

Step 2: Relay senses the fault & issues the trip command, its trip
timing must depend on the time characteristics of relay settings.

Step 3: Relay Testing Kit receives the trip command from Relay &
Stops the timer.

Step 4: The measured tripping time & fault actuating characteristics


are compared with respect to expected settings by Engineer. Test
pass if the results are within the tolerance range else fails .

Kingsine's " COM " Terminology


To start with KRT, user has to remember a simple "COM"
terminology:

C - Connect & Configure

Kingsine Electric Automation Co.,Ltd. © 1999-2020


Basic Concept 8

O - Define Test Object

M - Test Module

Eagle's Eye
1.Connect & Configure -:
"Connect" is the first step where user connects the relay test kit
hardware with the KRT software ( installed on PC), Once the kit is
connected user can see "connected" status on the top right
corner of the software .

Second step is to "Configure" ,This option is used by user to


configure various settings as below -:
The Analog I/P & O/P rating & characteristics (In System )
The binary I/P & O/P characteristics (In System)
The GOOSE & Sample Value channels (In System)
Naming Terminology for all Analog & Binary channels (In
Software).
Select the voltage rating for Auxiliary DC Voltage Source (In Aux
DC )

2. Define Test Object


Each device under test (mostly relay) is having respective "test
settings ". All these test object settings are mentioned in this
"Test Object" section. Test Object section is used to -:

a)Defines relay's nominal & fault conditions .

b)Defines relay's expected test results W.R.T those fault


conditions .Once a test is done, actual test results are then
automatically compared with the expected results from "Test
Object data". If the results are within the tolerance band of
"Test Object Settings" the evaluation pass else fails.

c)Based on the values of "Test Object" a visual test graphic is


simulated for fault parameters, this helps user to
directly inject the fault by clicking on that Graph.
directly see the status of result ( pass/fail ) on the
graph .

3. Define Test Module


This is the final step of the testing where user enters in this
respective test module and injects the fault , This section
generally defines below parameters -:
Fault Characteristics
Time delays ( prefault time, fault time & post fault
time )
Binary Inputs & Outputs Trigger Logic
Visual Graphs defining faults under test
Different views such as vector view, Report View ,
Connection View, Time View etc.

3 method to easy start a test:

Different ways to import the settings .

KRT software is designed in a way that user can create the test plans
& test settings at each step . These settings/ test plans can be
easily imported in the software making relay testing an effortless job
to do .

In below schematic a user can clearly see the flow diagram during
relay testing using KRT , Please note that the Yellow Coloured Boxes
are the stages where user can save/ import the settings directly

positive-sequence impedance of the line protected.

Note:
if the "Cal. by RE/RL and XE/XL" check option is disabled, then the KL
calculation mode is used.
Some relays treat the arc resistance separately from the portion of
line impedance, so KRT provides the "Separate arc resistance"
calculation mode according to the algorithm of relays.

For ZS grounding factor input: KM, RE/RL & XE/XL, Z0M/Z1M


ZS grounding factor is the line equivalent impedance (positive
sequence impedance) of the system power supply to the
location of protected object, it only valid when the fault model
