approaches its recording capacity. The DDFR erases this old data on a First-In-First-Out
basis so that newer fault information is available when required, for analysis by
engineering personnel.
Local Disturbance Analysis
Fault, Disturbance, and Sequence of Event Records archived in the DDFR can be viewed
and analyzed locally in the substation by communicating directly with the DDFR using the
EnerVista DDFR Setup Software. The DDFR Setup software includes an Event Record viewer
for analyzing the station-wide Sequence of Event record, and a powerful COMTRADE
viewer for analyzing the Transient Fault and Disturbance records.
When you open the DDFR box, you should find:
• one DDFR unit
• one software disk (CD) containing the EnerVista DDFR Setup software.
• manual.
If there is any noticeable physical damage, or if any of the contents of the box are missing,
please contact GE Multilin immediately.
This manual is designed with the assumption that you may or may not know about the
principles of DDFR usage or EnerVista software in general. If you know little about DDFR
usage, please read carefully what is written below, bearing in mind that GE Multilin is
available to fully support your questions about any aspect of the product.
If this is not the case, simply ignore those sections of the manual with which you are
familiar.
The manual is structured to guide you through the entire installation and configuration
process, from opening the box, to:
• setting up the software on your PC
• setting up the DDFR(s) on the Ethernet network
• configuring the DDFR settings
• physically connecting the associated relays
• configuring the associated relays for use with the DDFR(s)
• retrieving and viewing information transferred from your relays to the DDFR(s) and
into your computer.
Any actions you have to undertake during any part of the installation and configuration
processes, are indicated in the manual as follows:
Open the box.
This makes it easier to separate what you must physically do, from the surrounding
product and process descriptions and explanations.
