Protective Device Sequence-of-Operation

Star Sequence-of-Operation (SQOP) software evaluates, verifies, and confirms the operation and selectivity of the protective devices for various types of faults for any location directly from the one-line diagram and via normalized Time Current Characteristic Curve (TCC) views.
Protective device sequence of operation software
Sequence-of-Operation provides a system-wide solution for an accurate and realistic operating time and state of protective devices, such as relay, fuse, circuit breaker, trip devices, contactor, etc.

The operation time is calculated for each protective device based on its settings, time current characteristic, and interlocks for a specified fault location and type.

Normalized Time Current Characteristic Curve

Normalized / Shifted TCC mode is an analysis feature in Star TCC View which is based on Sequence-of-Operation calculation.

This analysis mode provides a graphical view of the operation times of protective devices based on their corresponding settings and characteristics for specified fault location and type.

Normalized TCC mode graphically displays the Time Current Characteristic Curves of protective devices in relation to one and another for a given fault.

Sequence of Event Viewer

The Sequence-of-Operation of protective devices are automatically calculated and listed in an Event Viewer, which is dynamically linked with the one-line diagram. This one-step concept utilizes the intelligent one-line diagram and performs a complete set of actions to determine the operation of all protective devices. The internal shifting (normalizing) of each Time Current Characteristic Curve is based on the individual fault contribution level.
