PTE-50-CET
Sheet 6
1. INTRODUCTION
The PTE-50-CET is designed as a Portable Three Phase Unit that allows the user to test, as stand
alone unit or in combination with others, all type of protective relays.
Extremely compact and rugged, this unit incorporates the latest in the modern microprocessor technology
to achieve unbeatable output characteristics in terms of power, accuracy, low distortion, and dynamic
capability. This technology allows the unit to perform, without any external accessories, various specific
functions very often used in the relay testing.
All the output signals are digitally generated, amplified and controlled by the internal IGMs (Intelligent
Generation Modules) in terms of amplitude, phase and frequency. A high accuracy and stability are
obtained in the output waveforms, which are absolutely independent of the main supply.
Contained in an aluminum IP-65 case, with a membrane keyboard that allows full manual control, and a
RS-232 com port for computer control, the PTE-50-CET offers the best features actually available for on
site manual or automatic relay testing.
1.1. MAIN FUNCTIONAL FEATURES
The following are the more outstanding functions/features that the PTE-50-CET has:
a) TIMER MEASUREMENT
Used when measuring the timing response of relays during test. The digital timer which is
incorporated in the PTE-50-CET has a resolution of 1 ms and contains all the necessary controls
to select the starting and stopping of the timer whether it is external or internal, or when using the
monitor signal or via PTE-BUS.
b) AVAILABLE REFERENCES
The power output has three different references available:
• The main supply phase (Line).
• The PTE BUS (BUS).
• The External Phase Reference (current or voltage).
c) POWER OUTPUTS
The current or voltage outputs are available, up to 50 A in four ranges and up to 150 V in two
ranges respectively.
Any power outputs combination is possible: two channels can work in voltage mode and the
other one in current mode, or even all of them can work in voltage mode. In current mode, the unit
allows channels parallel connection so it can supply up to 3 x 50 A = 150 A.
All the outputs have a dynamic capability. The output regulation can work independently or
linked in a three phase system, when PTE units are working together interconnected through
the PTE BUS, any combination of dynamic steps to 2
nd
values, can be selected in amplitudes and
phase angles for any type of fault simulation.
PTE-50-CET
Sheet 7
d) EXTERNAL REFERENCES INPUT
Can be synchronized, in terms of frequency and phase with any external signal, from 0.1 to 25 A
in current, and from 5 to 300 V in voltage.
e) SIGNAL MONITOR
The unit has a Signal Monitor input that can work with dry contacts or with voltage signals from 5
to 250 V ac or dc.
f) RS-232 COM PORT
Used to control the equipment from an external computer, can be used to perform the following:
• Software calibration.
• Automatic testing.
• Direct printing of the test results in a RS-232 input printer.
g) PTE BUS
Allows the interconnection with any other unit of the PTE RANGE.
h) EXTERNAL TIMER CONTROL OUTPUT
Delivers a pulse signal, dry contact type, of 20 ms duration. This can be used to start an external
timer, for timing measurements. This signal is produced every time one of the power outputs
changes its status, or the Step key is activated in amplitude or in phase.
i) OUTPUT PROTECTION
The outputs and, in general, the unit, are electronically protected against overload, short-circuit
and over temperature. These alarms are indicated on the Front Panel.
Standard 5 x 20 mm fuses protect the rest of inputs and general devices included in the unit.

2. OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLES
2.1. GENERAL
In this section a general overview of the operational basic principles on which the PTE-50-CET is
based, are given in this section. An understanding of these principles should help in order to find new
applications, maintenance, etc.
Briefly, the unit has a user interface (Front Panel), that is communicated with the Power Amplifier
through the microprocessors incorporated. Of course, a power supply, security devices, transformers,
etc. need to be used as well. According with these, the unit can be divided in the following modules:
1. Front Panel Controls.
2. Intelligent Generator Modules (IGM).
3. Power Supply.
PTE-50-CET
Figure 2: Functional Modules
PTE-50-CET
Sheet 10
2.2. FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
Allows the user to communicate with the power output section of the unit in a manual way, or using a
software program. To achieve this, it has the following sections:
1. Displays and LED indicators: indicate the various selections made by the operator and the
status of the unit.
2. Press ke y controls: this is a membrane keyboard with acoustic feedback, in which the various
different functions available in the unit are selected.
3. Multi-turn co ntrol knobs: these are rotative pulse gen erators that are used to make the differe nt
selections desired on the displays indicators, in an easy and fast manner.
4. Monitor taps: contain the circuits to detect the status of the signals applied in these taps.
Figure 3: Front Module
5. External Reference Taps: contain the circuits to synchronize the power outputs to the phase
and frequency signals connected to these taps.
6. Communications: the PTE units have the capability to communicate with some external control
devices by RS-232 (allowing the user for printing results and calibration from the PC) and by
BUS-PTE, for interconnection with PTE RANGE units and control of these by a PC.
7. Internal Bus Interface: establishes the communication between the Front Panel and the
Intelligent Generator Module, via the microprocessors included in both.
8. Time Generator: it generates the high accuracy time reference necessary to generate the
internal phase and frequency.
9. Output taps: these are the taps of the auxiliary voltage supply of 110 V ac, the power output
taps, and the tap to start an external timer.
PTE-50-CET
Sheet 11
10. Microcontroller: it is one of the most important parts of the unit, which as its name indicates,
controls or establishes the flow of information between all the functional blocks previously
mentioned.
2.3. INTELLIGENT GENERATOR MODULE
Essentially, the IGM is a linear power amplifier, controlled by its internal microprocessor. It produces
the sinusoidal signal in the frequency and the phase selected. This is amplified and adapted by a
transformer in the selected output range. This generator also feedbacks the output level in voltage,
current, and phase, to the generation stage, thus achieving a high accuracy output.
Figure 4: Intelligent Generator Module
As shown in the block drawing and in the front panel control functions, a microprocessor is in charge
of supervising all the functions of the generator modules. These receive the output measurements and
make the corrections necessary in amplitude and phase to obtain the desired accuracy. Also they
store the calibration parameters, and use them to correct the selections made from the Front Panel.
2.4. POWER SUPPLY
As in all off the systems that produce an output which is absolutely independent of the main supply,
the PTE-50-CET needs to have a D.C. power supply, that converts the AC input of the main supply, to
a DC that supplies the power amplifiers. This is achieved by using a combination of switching and
linear DC power supplies.
