Diagram of KRT
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
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.

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 .
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
1.2 Installation

connection status.
Note: If the IP of the laptop and the relay test kit is not in the same
network segment, KRT software will show the IP of test kit, but
unable to get connection, only in a continuous attempt to be online.
The user needs to check the IP address of the local laptop and
whether the system firewall has adopted a policy of running access to
the network for KRT.

Common parameters:
1.11.1.1 Frequency
This function aim to check the tripping frequency value of under-
frequency protection.
Parameters:
The method of measuring the action time is: the frequency slides
from the start value to the stop value, and waits for the protection
relay met the trip condition. During testing, the stop value should be
set slightly less than the action frequency setting of the protection
relay to ensure the successful action tripping.
Parameters:
In the df/dt latch test, The frequency slides from the start frequency
to the stop frequency according to the defined df/dt slip value, this is
a test cycle; the df/dt is fixed in each cycle, and it ramping from
"start df/dt" to "stop df/dt" with "step df/dt" settings in every next
cycles.
The process of this test is that when the test is started, the start df/
dt value set as great than the slips setting of the protection relay,
the protection is in the disallowed action status, and then the df/dt
value is adjusted to less than the slip latch value, while the
protection tripped, at this time, the currently df/dt value is recorded,
and the df/dt latch value to be calculated.

this is a test cycle;
At the same time, there is a fixed voltage value outputs in every
cycle, and it is ramping from "start voltage" to "stop voltage" with
"voltage step" settings in every next cycles.
The process of this test is that when the test is started, the "start
voltage" set as less than the under-voltage latch value of the
protection, so the protection is in the disallowed action status, and
then the voltage value is move toward to great than the under-
voltage latch value, while the protection tripped, at this time, the
currently voltage value is recorded, and the under-voltage latch value
to be calculated.

"current step" settings in every next cycles.
The process of this test is that when the test is started, the "start
current" set as less than the under-current latch value of the
protection, so the protection is in the disallowed action status, and
then the current value is move toward to great than the under-current
latch value, while the protection tripped, at this time, the currently
current value is recorded, and the under-current latch value to be
calculated.

slightly less than the under-voltage action setting of the protection
relay to ensure the successful action tripping.
Parameters:

The process of this test is that when the test is started, the start dv/
dt value set as great than the slips setting of the protection relay,
the protection is in the disallowed action status, and then the dv/dt
value is adjusted to less than the slip latch value, while the
protection tripped, at this time, the currently dv/dt value is recorded,
and the dv/dt latch value to be calculated.
