TR-2100 User Manual Overview The TR-2100 is a multi-function recorder that includes the features of many separate instruments for monitoring a power system. These include protection operations, system stability, and power quality. The voltages and currents on three phase lines are recorded via standard instrumentation transformers to 16-bit accuracy.
TR-2100 User Manual Triggered Records When an abnormal event is detected, the analogue inputs and the digital switch data are stored in the TR-2100's memory. The stored data includes a period of time starting before the event occurs, until after conditions have returned to normal. This data frame constitutes a data record that may be printed in a graphical form with some initial measurements of the transient event.
TR-2100 User Manual Display Station Display Station is a software application that runs on a standard Windows 95/98/NT based PC. This provides a communication link to all TR-2100, TR-100, and DL8000 monitors via an RS232 port, LAN, dial up modem, or WAN. All the recorder parameters can be updated remotely, and the analogue signals and digital status can be viewed on line.
TR-2100 User Manual 1 Introduction The TR-2100 substation monitor is designed using leading edge computer hardware and software techniques. The high speed, high resolution recording, flexible triggering modes, and long term recording modes make it ideal for capturing all forms of line transients, protection operations, power quality surveys, real time display of station values, stability monitoring, switchgear maintenance, sequence of events recording, metering, etc.

TR-2100 User Manual • Protection monitor The transient recorder is mostly used for monitoring protection operations. The VT & CT waveforms and auxiliary protection contacts are recorded before, during, and after the fault clearance. Expert System software can be used to analyze this data and report on any abnormalities.
Page 13
As an alternative, individual disturbance records can be recovered and compared in Display Station Analysis. This allows voltages, power flow etc. to be compared at several points in a network. The TR-2000 can also communicate with other equipment that supports the IEEE 1344 – 1995 standard.
TR-2100 User Manual • On-line Switchgear & Battery Monitor Because the TR-2100 is attached to strategic protection equipment, it can be used for condition monitoring. Circuit breaker operations are recorded and analysed by the Expert System. The measurements from each operation are stored in a database and these are used in a number of programmable contact wear formulae.
TR-2100 User Manual Network Capability The TR-2100 can be configured as part of an integrated monitoring network with multiple recorders at sub-stations within a region. Display Station can be located at the regional control center or headquarters. Communications between Display Station and the TR-2100s may be by dial-up modem on an internal or external phone system, or by a TCP/IP network connection on a company wide area network (WAN).

TR-2100 User Manual shunt error. In this case, the test current can be found by dividing the shunt resistor value (found in the CT section of the User specification Sheet) into the equivalent test voltage: Test voltage = 1.000V Shunt = 130 ohms Test current = 7.6923mA Therefore, a test current of 8.000mA would be acceptable The TR-2100 can be calibrated using a DC or AC signal.
Page 44
TR-2100 User Manual Once these values have been set up, the Calibration program displays will be giving relevant information. The actual amplitude field will display the value that the input card would report if no gain adjustment were applied. The card gain field gives a number between 0 and 2.0 that represents the gain applied to the actual amplitude.
Page 45
TR-2100 User Manual Answer “Yes” to this question if all the adjustments for the card have been made and the card has been successfully calibrated. The actual process of writing to the card will take approximately 90 sec for each input board. Once the values on the display start moving again, the card has been updated.
TR-2100 User Manual CT Phase Correction CT phase correction is not part of the calibrate program described above. Details are included here to complete the adjustment of the input scaling parameters of a TR-2100 to ensure maximum accuracy. The correction values are computed and set manually. Inputs derived from interposing CTs and some other forms of transducer will normally suffer from phase shift error.
