Generation of test points list, each one being a frequency ramp, to evaluate the trip setting of df/dt element This test allows searching for pickup values of active df/dt elements in the device with the desired accuracy. Test for searching the inhibition voltage of df/dt elements, through frequency ...

MENTOR 12 ‐ SOFTWARE ELEMENTS FULL DIRECT CONTROL 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, providing the most complete and straightforward Manual Control of the market. The MENTOR 12 is controlled via a touch screen panel and a rotary selector. An external mouse, monitor and keyboard can also be used if desired. The MENTOR 12’s intuitive interface is organized to complete the job safely and accurately in the shortest possible time. ...

CONFIGURATION CONTROL One of the greatest advantages of the MENTOR 12 is its modular design. You can start with a basic 6‐channel unit and add more channels later on. The plug and play technology makes adding or replacing channels an easy operation, with no need to return the unit to the factory. Depending on the device being tested, the default hardware configuration can be quickly changed at any time: Power Outputs Configuration: Easy control of all Power sources configurations. Regardless the number of amplifiers in your MENTOR 12, you can also combine them ...

 Fault function: this three‐state function allows the user to set a complete simple fault and execute the prefault, fault and postfault values, including duration of the states, logic I/O states, and trip conditions. The fault execution displays the progress timeline and test results in graphical and numeric mode, including the trip time and end function time.  Ramp function: Single and Double Ramps, upward or downward ramps, of any output parameter on the MENTOR 12 can be programmed and executed. The automatic ramps are generally used to ...

 Binary Search function, unlike the ramps, the Binary Search does not use a fixed increase value, as it adapts to different values to make an effective search. Ramp and Pulse Ramp are excellent to verify the accuracy of a trip value within some known margins. The Binary Search function is designed to cover the circumstance when you do not know the trip value or even, to verify a known trip value carrying out the test in a different way. An initial search point is defined in this function as well as an end point that may be separated from the initial one as much as we want as well as a maximum function ...

Results Manager: The Results Manager allows saving both the test results and configuration of Advanced test functions, so that they can be repeated as desired. Results are saved in a USB pendrive. The system can save as many tests as needed in Report files, being a way to automate tests for specific relays. The reports can be displayed on the PC, exported and/or printed, using the Report Viewer for Windows, which is included as standard in every MENTOR. After any advanced function test, we can add the results to any existing report, with a new name for this test and a description. The test is recorded with date and time ...

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 ...

MENTOR‐GPS/IRIG‐B: Certain kind of test requires the setup of two or more MENTOR 12 units (or one MENTOR 12 and other test set) separated on different locations and synchronized with each other. In this case a very high precision reference clock is necessary, in order to obtain the required timing to trigger the state sequencer or the reproduction of Fault playback (COMTRADE files) on separate units. The MENTOR 12 equipment allows for this synchronism by the use of two alternatives of very precise time reference inputs: GPS and IRIG/B. Any of these two ...
