  • Page 13: Introduction

    • Compact and rugged. 1.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Manta MTS-3000 is a flexible modular test system, geared particularly towards protective relay testing, but configurable for numerous other applications requiring AC and/or DC voltage and/or current sources. Systems can be as simple as a single phase AC current source, or as complex as a full three phase AC voltage and current source with DC voltage and current, multi-channel digital input operation sensing and digital output control, and accurate timing measurement capability.

  • Page 14: Applications

    INTRODUCTION - Section 1 An MTS-3000 System consists of a Control Module (CM), and one or more AC output modules. These modules connect together to form a stack, with the control module at the top. An AC Current Module (ACI), an AC Voltage Module (ACV), or an AC Voltage/Current Module (ACV/ I) may be easily added or removed from a stack to configure the system to your needs.

  • Page 15: Dynamic Relay Testing

    INTRODUCTION - Section 1 1.4.6 Dynamic Relay Testing Dynamic relay testing refers to testing of relays using instantaneous steps and/or ramping of voltage and current inputs. To closely simulate the conditions the device sees in service, the voltages and currents are typically stepped from a nominal, prefault level, to a predetermined fault level.

  • Page 16: Technical Considerations

    INTRODUCTION - Section 1 The instrument case must always be effectively grounded. The rear panel grounding stud of the Control Module, CM, must be connected by a minimum 12-gauge wire to a known secure ground. This ground is in addition to the power cord ground. All leads and connectors must be in good condition and rated for the voltage and current carrying requirements.

  • Page 17: Specifications

    SPECIFICATIONS - Section 2 SPECIFICATIONS NOTE: All specifications are subject to change. All AC quantities are RMS values, except as otherwise noted. Power outputs are specified for nominal 120VAC/60Hz or 240VAC/50Hz power input, and 25°C ambient operating temperature. For some configurations, the 15A / 7.5A rating may be exceeded if all outputs are at full power.

    3.3 BASIC APPLICATIONS 3.3.1 Getting Started Because of its modularity, the MTS-3000 series system can be configured in many different ways. It’s not feasible to provide a detailed operation description for every possible configuration. Except where noted, the assumption is the equipment is configured as a three phase protective relay test system equipped with three AC voltage sources, three AC current sources, a digital I/O module with DC current sourcing, and a DC voltage module, as illustrated below.
