Built-in front panel menu for advanced features. 1.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The MTS-1700 Series Universal Protective Relay Test System is a comprehensive relay test system designed for standard testing of polyphase and single-phase protection relays. It can perform steady-state and complex dynamic testing of relays, as well as fault playback (regeneration of digitized fault waveforms).
It allows engineers to subject relays to predicted characteristic faults (based upon computer simulation models), or abnormal faults, and analyze their performance before implementation. MTS-1700 SERIES OPERATION AND REFERENCE MANUAL M A N T A T E S T S Y S T E M S...
