The IT-Monitor
1 The IT-Monitor
The IT-Monitor can be used to check the operating times and directional sensitivity of
overcurrent relays with current-dependent and current-independent time delays. The programme
automatically calculates the test quantities for the defined test current and selected fault type.
The amplitude of the test current is defined in a current-time diagram, the reaction of the device
under test is recorded during the test.
Test evaluation is performed with reference to the defined tripping characteristic of the protection
device. The tripping characteristic can be freely configured in the programme. In addition, the
programme already contains standard characteristics according to IEC and ANSI.
Different bases for calculation can be defined with the aid of a formula editor, allowing thermal
characteristics to be checked too, for example. The IT-Monitor also features a function for
checking the directional control.
This chapter deals with the parameterization and execution of of overcurrent-time protection
tests.
1.1 Activating the IT-Monitor

Before the IT-Monitor can be called up, it must be
activated in accordance with the licence
agreement. For more information, see the section

Doc. 7213102 Rev. 1.01 7

2.3 Characteristic
The tripping characteristics are defined on the Characteristic tab. Standard tripping
characteristics are available as templates and can be selected and edited to suit the individual
requirements of the device to be tested.
Single and multi-phase faults

Some relays allow the tripping characteristic to be
defined differently for single-pole and multi-pole
faults.
If single and multi-pole faults are to be
displayed in the same characteristic, select the
appropriate check box.
If they are to be displayed in different
characteristics, select the Single-phase
characteristic or Multi-phase characteristic
tabs.
Different colours can be used to differentiate
between various characteristics. The settings are
made in the Colour list box.
Selecting a characteristic
Select the required characteristic in the Type
list.
Predefined characteristic types are available for
selection in directories labelled Definite time and
ARTES (IDMT).
If the characteristic required is not included in the
list of templates, it is possible to create user-
specific characteristics. For more information, see
the section of this manual titled Editing and
creating characteristics.
Depending on the type of characteristic chosen,
appropriate text boxes are displayed in which the
parameters of the tripping characteristics can be

2.3.2 Set test parameters

All parameters for running a test are entered on
the Inspection tab.
Test sequence
Enter the Maximum fault duration
The duration of the output of test quantities can be
limited. If the test object does not react as it
should, possible damage can be avoided in this
way.
The Maximum fault duration limits the duration
of output to a multiple of the fault duration in
accordance with the configured tripping
characteristic. The test is stopped independently of
signal input when the configured time has elapsed.
Enter value for I/Ip<1
The value for I/Ip<1 defines the maximum
output duration for the output value under the
pick-up value. The output of test quantities ends
after the time specified here.
Enter Wait time
The Wait time is the time between the output of
two test points.
Pre-fault test values

Realistic rated operating conditions can be
reproduced by defining pre-fault test values.

phase-selectively.
If required, define the type of logical
integration
For an OR operation, time measurement is on the
first flank; for an AND operation, time
measurement is on the last flank.
Maximum deviation
Enter Time delay (rel./abs.)
The relative time delay (in %) and the absolute
time delay (in s.) regulate the time tolerances for
test evaluation. The greater of the two values is
always used for test evaluation. If only a relative or
only an absolute time delay is to be evaluated, the
value 0 is entered in the superfluous text box.
Enter Current (rel.)
This value defines the relative current tolerance for
test evaluation.

3.3 Testing with a sequence

The major difference between a sequence test and
a series test is that the test points in a sequence
are defined automatically on the basis of the
parameters defined.
The test points of a sequence are defined along a
straight line, which is defined by a start and end
point.

monitor
Click Sequence to select the sequence mode
Set the mode

Define the sequence mode in the Mode list box
Linear
The test points are arranged at a linear distance
from one another on the characteristic along the
straight line. The step width results automatically
from the number of test points.
This function is particularly useful when testing
overcurrent protection devices with an IDMT
characteristic.
Staircase absolute/relative
The test points are arranged along the straight line
in front of and behind each characteristic zone.
Staircase tests are suitable for staircase
characteristics in definite time overcurrent
protection (DT) and for limiting IDMT
characteristics by means of instantaneous
trips/very high current sets.
A number of test points can be arranged around a
characteristic zone allowing a more exact
determination of the tripping value.
Define the number of test points in the Points
text box
Example Points = 2
2 test points are arranged in front of and behind
each zone.
Define the Step width of the test points

Step width
The step width of the test points can be given in
amperes or as a reference to the rated current. It
defines the distance of a test point from the
characteristic zone.
If the number of points is greater than 1, they are
distributed along the given step width.
Example: Points = 2
2 test points are distributed along the step width.
Doc. 7213102 Rev. 1.01 19

Carrying out tests
Staircase absolute:
The step width is entered as an absolute value and
is the same for every test step.
Staircase relative:
The step width is entered as a percentage and
refers to the value of the test step.
The smaller the value of the test step, the smaller
is the step width.

3.5 ARC
Arc faults frequently occur in overhead systems. The majority of these faults disappear after one or
more dead intervals as a result of targeted rapid auto-reclosures of the faulty section of the line.
Auto-reclose (ARC) is the function to control the rapid auto-reclosures with different dead times
(short or long interruptions). The ARC function increases the reliability and therefore the availability
of an electrical power system.
Most overcurrent protection devices in overhead systems are equipped with the ARC function. The
IT-Monitor provides a means of testing this function. The aim of the test is to verify the dead
time(s) of a successful and of an unsuccessful auto-reclose operation for various fault types.
The reaction of the protection relay is recorded in real time during the test synchronously to signal
output and is evaluated directly. This means that the TRIP command of the protection device can
be used to deactivate the test quantities calculated by the programme and the re-close command
to activate them.
The ARC mode is only displayed when the function is activated on the Test
object/Properties/Functions tab.
