FFT calculation has always whole power cycle in the buffer. Further improvement for the achieved measurement accuracy is the Arcteq patented method of calibrating of the analog channels against 8 system frequency points for both, magnitude and angle. This frequency dependent correction compensates the used measurement hardware frequency dependencies.

Lastly, in a compensated network protection, the relay with traditional algorithms may sporadically detect an earth-fault in a long healthy feeder due to CT errors. For all these reasons, Arcteq has developed an improved alternative to these traditional directional earth fault protections.
Arc protection card has four sensor channels. Up to three arc point sensors may be connected to each channel. Sensor channels support Arcteq AQ-01 (light sensing) and AQ-02 (pressure and light sensing) units. Optionally protection function can be applied with phase or residual current condition.
Time synchronization Currently used 61850 setup of the device can be viewed in the IEC61850 tool ( Tools → IEC61850 ). For a list of available Logical Nodes in the Arcteq implementation browse the 61850 tree. See following picture: Figure. 6.1.4. - 160. IEC 61850 tool buttons.
Enable setting for GOOSE subscriber. 6.1.5. GOOSE Both GOOSE publisher and subscriber are supported by the Arcteq implementation. GOOSE subscriber is enabled by parameter setting ( Communication → Protocols → IEC61850 → GOOSE subscriber enable ) and GOOSE inputs are con gured using HMI or Aqtivate tool. For each of the Goose inputs there is also an input quality signal which can also be used in the internal logic.
(slave). The IEC 103 protocol can be selected for the available serial ports of the device. A master or primary station can communicate with the Arcteq device and receive information by polling from the slave device. Disturbance recordings transfer is not supported.
