mmMENTOR 12 ‘All in One” System for electromechanical, electronic, and numerical protection relay testing The new Mentor 12 universal platform revolutionizes the traditional relay testing concepts. With more than 25 years in designing and developing test equipment, EuroSMC has launched a product which exceeds the expectations of the most demanding professionals in this field. The Mentor 12 has everything you need to test relays of any type, including the routine procedures and results saved in memory by the user for later repetition and reference. No external computer is required, except for...

EASY TO USE The Mentor 12 is controlled via a touch screen panel and a rotary selector. An external mouse and keyboard can also be used if desired. The entire test process and test results are immediately displayed in numerical and graphic forms, with a complete set of feedback indicators and a real-time representation of power vectors. You only need turn on the Mentor 12, connect it to the relay, and select the desired test on the menu. You will see the process and the results on the screen. Now, name it and save it so you can repeat the test or examine the results in the future. If you have...

MENTOR 12 POWER A state-of-the-art, fully programmable digital waveform generation engine constitutes the heart of the Mentor 12. It is able to control twelve independent low-level signal paths to the output section, producing extremely accurate signals with a 3-kHz bandwidth. These signals are driven to the output amplifiers for a stable, distortion-free 100 VA testing power. Prior to being amplified, these signals are also available at the low-level output connectors to test and calibrate transducers, energy meters and sensor- or Rogowski coil-based protective relays, as well as to be externally...

COMPLETE CONTROL - Remote control activation/setup. The MENTOR 12 is the most advanced three-phase relay test set available for type and field testing of electromechanical and digital protections of any kind, in traditional or IEC-61850 based substations, providing the most complete and straightforward Manual Control of the market. - Results Manager, and storage of results. - STT: Importing RIO files and ROOTS test, execution of tests with no need of PC, just a USB pendrive. - Advanced built-in Test Functions: Fault, Ramp, Double Ramps, Pulse Ramps, Binary Search, State Sequencer, Fault Playback....

MENTOR 12 ADVANCED TEST FUNCTIONS The most complete Built-in Test functions, with on-screen graphic configuration, to carry out typical test for protection relays and protection schemes. These tests allows determining the state of the relay and obtaining readings and results of different relay parameters under different test conditions, configured by the user. A Logger is available for all functions, to carry out an in-depth study of the performance of the relay tested throughout the function. Fault Function Fault function: This three-state function allows the user to set a complete simple fault...

Fault Playback: This function allow the playback of COMTRADE fault description files, both binary and ASCII, according to IEEE STD C37.111-1999. This is very useful to analyze the protection´s behavior against a previously recorded fault, or a simulated fault (from network simulation programs), reproducing this transient faults recordings at a specific sampling frequency. COMTRADE files can be directly read from a USB pendrive, select the section to be played and analyze the response of the relay at the binary inputs in the MENTOR 12. User can edit and discard the unneeded signal’s sections or...

MENTOR 12 Timer Settings: Timer start and stop conditions can be quickly adjusted to the test needs. The timer can be programmed to start by the status changes in the Power Outputs, by the action of a Binary Input combination, or by the status change of any Binary Output. Timer stops by the trip action at the Binary Input logic, which setting is straightforward selected. After the stop of the timer, voltage and/or current outputs can be immediately switched off or delayed to simulate switch time. A countdown timer can also be programmed to stop the outputs or to load the previous state with the...

MENTOR STT SMART TEST TOOL FOR MENTOR 12 The Smart Test Tool (STT) for the Mentor is an Automatic Stand-alone Testing tool. Any MENTOR 12 can be equipped or upgraded at any time with this optional software called Smart Test Tools. Among the advanced test features provided by this component, the possibility of executing ROOTS-originated test batches is possibly the most outstanding, because it avoids the connections and preparation overhead usually associated to an external computer. Any number of relay entries, each one containing a batch of different tests, can be stored from ROOTS onto a USB...

ROOTS ROOTS RELAY TESTING SOFTWARE ROOTS (Relay Object-Oriented Test System) provides the best solution to the testing of today’s multifunctional IEDs by performing accurate fault calculation, sequential test execution, and reporting automatically. ROOTS is an optional product for PC-operation of SMC’s MENTOR 12 and TRES relay test sets. ROOTS is developed using the latest Microsoft .NET® technology and is available for 32-bit and 64bit Windows XP, or later platforms. Device Panel ROOTS implements a friendly, intuitive interface, for the quick and accurate configuration of all equipment features,...

OVERCURRENT MODULE The Overcurrent test module is used to automatically test the performance of protective devices that implement any combination of the 50, 50N, 51, 51N, 67, 67N, 46 and 49 protection functions. It includes tests of operating values, and the external scheme tests related to these protective functions. The module's functionality is distributed in the following sections, among others: Technical data: general parameters that affect all the tests contained in the Overcurrent module, such as: work with primary values, elements used for phase-ground faults, ground CT data, sensitive...
