MTS-5100

Protective Relay Test System

All-in-one relay test set with a direct front panel interface for all functions

The ideal integrated system for testing and calibration of protection and control relays, simulation of power system phenomena, and verification of voltage, current, phase, and power transducers.

Easily test single overcurrent relays to multi-terminal end-to-end schemes with this one box. No add-ons. No hidden costs. The MTS-5100 includes all the power (VA) that you need for old electromechanical relays in each output channel to minimize connection changes, with all of the output current and voltage channels you need for modern microprocessor-based relays. Powerful productivity functions and built-in intelligence make it a simple task to perform realistic power system simulations which increases productivity and effectiveness. You can even save your test results directly from the front panel to simplify your NERC/FERC reporting requirements.

MTS-5100 Protective Relay Testing System Quick Product Tour

This video introduces Manta’s MTS-5100 Protective Relay Testing System. The MTS-5100 is ideal for testing the single-phase and three-phase protective relays found in power utility substations, and this video provides just a brief introduction to its basic features. In future videos, we’ll focus on specific features and testing scenarios, explaining how to use the test set.

MTS-5100 Basics: Front-Panel Controls

This video shows you how to use the front-panel controls on the MTS-5100 Protective Relay Testing System. The MTS-5000 works almost the same way as the MTS-5100, and I point out the differences between those products in the video. The idea is not to show you how to use any specific feature of the test set software, but rather to show the different functions of the front-panel buttons and rotary dial. I also demonstrate a few little tricks, such as pressing and holding a specific key to take a screen capture.

MTS-5100/5000 Basics: Using the Fault Type key to simplify testing

This video explains why you should select a specific fault type (phase-to-neutral, phase-to-phase, three-phase) instead of “Arbitrary” when testing relays using Manta’s MTS-5100 Protective Relay Testing System and earlier MTS-5000. Selecting the appropriate fault type using the F8 key makes it very easy to test protective relay elements that respond to specific fault types. For example, the testing system calculates all of the individual current and voltage phasors for you. The video explains several advantages of the technique.

MTS-5100 Wireless Operation

Manta’s MTS-5100 Protective Relay Testing System and earlier MTS-5000 can be used without connecting a PC. Sometimes you want to hook up your laptop, though, and this video shows you how to do that wirelessly. For a detailed blog article on the subject, as a companion for this video please view it here.

MTS-5000/5100 Advanced Operation: Custom Waveforms

This video shows you how to generate non-sinusoidal waveforms in Manual Test on the MTS-5000 and MTS-5100 Protective Relay Testing Systems. The custom waveform feature lets you specify any waveform shape you like, and that waveform will be generated using the RMS magnitude, phase angle and frequency settings in Manual Test. Not shown in the video is that you can also apply automatic ramps to the custom waveforms, as described in the “Automatic Ramping” video located on this same page. The feature can be a real problem-solver if you have to generate saturated waveforms, waveforms captured using a relay or waveforms consisting of a fundamental plus multiple harmonics. The spreadsheet demonstrated in the video is available for download here as a zip file.

MTS-5000/5100 Advanced Operation: Automatic Ramping

This video shows you how to configure automatic ramps in the MTS-5000 or MTS-5100 Protective Relay Testing System. You can use this feature to smoothly and simultaneously ramp currents, voltages, phase angles and frequencies. The precision of automatic ramps means they’re repeatable, so you get exactly the same ramp rates every time you run the test. That simplifies pickup testing, especially when more than one value has to be adjusted during a simulated fault. Precise ramps are of course also important when the element being tested responds to “rate of change”. Usually that would be frequency rate of change, as found in frequency relays such as the ABB SPAF 140 C and SPAF 340 C, GE DFF or RMS 2H34. Frequency rate-of-change (81R) elements are also found in multifunction relays such as the Beckwith M-3401 and M-3520, SEL-351A, SEL-751A, as well as GE UR-series relays such as the F60, D60 and T60.

MTS-5000/5100 Basics: Displaying Calculated Values

This video shows you how to configure up the Manta MTS-5000 or MTS-5100 Protective Relay Testing system to display calculated values in Manual Test. You can place these values, such as Impedance, Power, or Symmetrical Components, on the main test screen, and those values can be included in your test reports. For more information about symmetrical components, see “Symmetrical Components Made Easy” in our blog: Part 1 and Part 2. The video uses a distance relay (SEL-321, GE D60, ABB KD-10 or KD-11, etc.) as its main example, showing you how to make the test set calculate impedance for you in real time. The same methods apply to other calculated values.

MTS-5000/5100 Productivity Modes: How to use Meter Test Mode

Meter Test Mode in the Manta MTS-5000 and MTS-5100 Protective Relay Testing Systems is optimized for testing panel meters and the metering capabilities of digital relays, and it can also be used to test transducers. Customers have asked us to provide information about Meter Test Mode, and this video shows you how to use that mode. Manta also has a dedicated product for testing meters and transducers, the MTS-2000 Panel Meter and Transducer Test System. You can find out more about the MTS-2000 here(https://www.doble.com/product/mts-2000/). In this video, Meter Test mode is used to test a 400A panel meter and a GE SR750 Feeder Management relay. There’s also a practical tip on how to accurately test analog panel meters, as well as some information about transducer testing. If you’re testing a different digital relay, such as an SEL 751 or ABB REX 521 or Beckwith M-7651 or M-3410A, the procedure is essentially the same.

How to Use the MTS-5160 Six Current Amplifier

The MTS-5160 Six Current Amplifier works in conjunction with a Manta MTS-5000 or MTS-5100 Protective Relay Testing System, adding six 30A current channels. This video provides instructions on its use.

MTS-5000 / MTS-5100 Basics: Introduction to Manual Test

In this tutorial, I show you the basics of using the Manual Test mode on the MTS-5000 or MTS-5100 test set. The MTS-5100 and older MTS-5000 Protective Relay Testing Systems allow you to test in a lot of different ways. This video shows the most basic testing approach, in which you configure the specific currents and voltages to apply, then assess the pickup point and operate time of the relay under test.

Welcome to the Manta Test Systems YouTube Channel

This inaugural video introduces the Manta Test Systems YouTube Channel, and briefly introduces our products, which are used for testing protective relays and related activities.

SOFTWARE


MTS Onboard Software is the firmware that runs natively onboard the MTS-5100 and MTS-5000 test systems. The firmware is updated periodically to add new relays and Productivity Modes as well as other time-savings features.	RapidTest™ is a Windows-based software that can be installed on a computer. This software allows for storing the test parameters and results transferred from an MTS-5100 or MTS-5000 test system. This software allows for the creation of standard and custom reports and allows users to send the test parameters back to the test system to re-run previous tests.	*Remote Console* is a Windows-based software that can be installed on a computer. This software allows for the control of the test system using the computer. The computer connects to the test system using an Ethernet cable or wirelessly using a third party wireless connector.
