1 GENERAL
1.1 The instrument
The instrument DRTS.3 PLUS (digital relay test system, three phase) is a programmable and
automatic relay test set, that permits for the automatic ve rification of digital protection relays, such
as those used in Medium and High voltage networks.
As compared to the former DRTS.3, the DRTS.3 PLUS version generates 15 A instead of 12.5 A.
The test bench is housed in a case 3 U high, that contains: the power supply, the interface circuits,
the control boards, the voltage and current amplifiers. The set is housed into an aluminium
container with handle for ease of transportation; the instrument is supplied with a plastic bag for
protection during transit.
The instrument operates in connection with a computer, that controls it via the RS232 serial port or
the USB port. The firmware FWH6, contained in a FLASH EPROM resident into the instrument,
allows the instrument to interpret all commands received from the computer and to transmit test
results.
Software running on the P.C. allow the user to:
. Control all current and voltage outputs, for the simulation of all types of faults: in particular, faults
that are produced on a distribution network with the neutral connected to ground;
. Change the output in a ramp or step mode;
. Define the state of inputs and outputs between two fault simulations;
. Simulate complex evolution, with faults that change during the test.

3 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE UNIT
3.1 General
This section resumes the characteristic and the performances of the instrument. Listed
characteristics are all used when the instrument is connected to a computer, with the corresponding
commands.
In separate documents are described:
- The DRTS.3 PLUS user's guide;
- The resident program FWH6;
- The software TDMS.
On the instrument the following connections are available:
- Mains power supply (2 phase with ground);
- Four voltage outputs V1 -V4, with a common neutral point;
- Three current outputs I1-I3, with a common neutral point;
- Ten input trip contacts, divided in two groups C1-C4+IMP1 and C5-C8+IMP2, with two
zero references;
- Four auxiliary output contacts A1-A4, without a common point;
- Serial interface RS232 and USB interface;
- Ethernet connector, for the IEC61850 option;
- Four measurement inputs: two for currents (low and high) and two for voltages (low and
high), for the optional board;
- The EXT. AMPL. female connector with low-power analog signals output, for external
booster or zero-power mode.
Note: connectors are always present even if the optional circuits aren’t present into the module.
Besides, on the front panel are available :
- Power-on switch;
- Four lights indicating the status of the instrument;
- Eight lights for the status of trip input (turn on when closed);
- Four lights for the status of auxiliary outputs (turn on when closed);
- One light per voltage and current output, that turns on when it is active.
When the instrument is turned on it performs a self-diagnostic check of all of the logic and analog
circuits. During the use, the instrument watches continuously the outputs, checking that they do not
deviate from the nominal.
The principal operation are as follows:
- Connect DRTS.3 PLUS to the portable PC, using the supplied cable;
- Connect DRTS.3 PLUS to the relay that is to be tested. The input trip contacts can be either
clean or with voltage, polarized using the optional DC voltage output, or the DC voltage of
the site;
- Execute the test;
- Test results are examined one at a time on the screen of the PC, and printed later on, after
they have been saved.
In the user manual, furnished with the instrument, are contained the following information:
