Advanced Relay Testing & Transient Simulator - ARTTS
The ETAP Advanced Relay Testing and Transient Simulator (ARTTS) is a new concept that utilizes hardware and software technologies for testing, calibrating, and simulating relays.
Relay Test Set Equipment - Key Features
  • Test, simulate, & calibrate relays, meters, & transducers
  • Test 24 different IEEE type relays
  • Powerful & lightweight
  • High accuracy & self-calibrating
  • Multiple current & voltage outputs
  • Auxiliary DC supply
Relay Test Set Software - Key Features
  • Manual & fully automatic testing
  • View control panel & vector quantities
  • ‘Click & Test’ feature for quick testing
  • Playback transients from ETAP fault studies
  • Playback transients from fault recorders
  • Export to Comtrade format

ETAP ARTTS combines the short-circuit and protection device coordination capabilities of ETAP with the relay testing hardware. It provides actual steady-state and transient responses of relays for comparisons with the manufacturers published data. ARTTS is designed to improve system protection, coordination, and reliability, hence decreasing operational and maintenance costs.

ARTTS provides the bridge between the relay-testing hardware and power system simulation technology. While ETAP Star provides a revolutionary method of analyzing and simulating the protective device coordination and protection view via an intelligent one-line diagram, ETAP ARTTS determines the actual operation of protective relays based on steady-state and dynamic transient waveforms and compares the captured relay response with that of manufacturer published curves.
