NxtPhase Wins R&D 100 Award
NxtPhase T&D Corporation was recently awarded an
R&D 100 award for the NXVCT Optical Voltage & Current Sensor.
Sponsored by R&D Magazine, this prestigious award recognizes innovative
technology judged to be among the 100 most technologically significant
new products of the year. The NXVCT’s key customer benefit is its
ability to measure current & voltage with higher accuracy over
a greater dynamic range in a single column. Other key differentiators
include smaller size, reduced weight, improved safety, & environmental
advantages over traditional oil-filled equipment or devices that
use the greenhouse gas, SF6, for insulation.

Optical voltage transducers
(OVTs) for power delivery applications offer a variety of advantages
over conventional inductive & capacitive voltage transformers.
Among these are better electrical isolation, wider bandwidth, larger
dynamic range, lighter weight, & smaller size. Here
are the results of laboratory tests on 230 kV OVTs...

Tests Prove Safety!
Forced test failure proves that NxtPhase Optical
CTs & VTs reduce the risk from explosive failure. Keep your people
safe, while exceeding performance standards. Designed to reduce
risk from explosive failure, the rupture disk significantly reduces
danger from projectiles during failure. Especially at high voltages,
the NxtPhase optical system offers proven safety benfits over SF6
or oil filled units. Download

| Performance exceeds
IEC Class0.2 & IEEE Class 0.3 accuracy requirements to address
stringent revenue metering requirements. The NXVCT also exceeds
IEC & IEEE protection accuracy requirements. A single device
may be used for both relaying & metering applications, eliminating
the need for seperate metering & relaying devices. |

New
Differential View Improves B-PRO & T-PRO Relay Fault Analysis
RecordBase View is a graphic tool that allows
the user to quickly analyze a fault & to determine the appropriate
action. The upcoming release of RecordBase View provides a new “differential
view” to create an IR – IO
plot (restraint vs operating current before, during & after the
fault). The differential view provides a method to dynamically study
differential trajectory from NxtPhase T-PRO transformer relay & BPRO bus relay. The differential view also supports the superimposition
of the relay’s transfer differential characteristic plots on the
same view screen & dynamically reviews the fault action of the
transformer fault in terms of differential characteristics. This
graphical tool also helps to verify differential relay settings & graphically checks the relay’s operation for a system fault.
The following channels are displayed:
|
- Ia restraint vs Ia operating
- Ib restraint vs Ib operating
- Ic restraint vs Ic operating
- relay characteristics from the settings

|
|
|
Elegant zooming, panning & cross hair cursor
measurement features are available for the pre- & post-fault analysis.
