Grid protection systems face a multitude of demands, from intricate fault analysis to precise timing verification. Megger's solutions address these diverse requirements with a comprehensive range of relay protection test equipment.
Our product line, encompassing advanced relay test sets, simplifies even the most challenging protection relay testing scenarios. With features designed for efficiency, Megger's equipment streamlines the testing of relays, reducing downtime and enhancing productivity.
Our solutions guarantee compliance with industry safety standards that empower engineers to perform reliable protection relay testing, obtaining valuable insights, minimising risks and maximising grid stability.
The real answer is so that you can buy a test set that’s a good match for your requirements and budget. Relay test sets represent a substantial investment, so there’s little point in spending more than you need on buying one with many facilities you’ll never use. On the other hand, buying a test set that seems inexpensive but can’t readily meet all of your requirements is a false economy.
You’ll either end up replacing it or having to use time-consuming and uncertain workarounds to carry out your tests. That’s why Megger offers such a wide range of options. Consider three-phase testing, for example. Most applications require three voltages and three currents, which is enough to simulate most three-phase systems.
But sometimes, a fourth voltage is needed to test, for example, the synchro-check function in complex relays. And for testing transformer differential protection, six currents are needed! Megger offers test sets to cover all these applications, including the SMRT46, which you can configure to supply four voltages and three currents or, alternatively, six currents.
Yes! Megger is very active in this field.
The company released its first products for IEC 61850 applications as early as 2009 and has been active in the development of the IEC 61850 standard since the mid-2000s.
Today, Megger offers the FREJA and SMRT relay test sets, the hardware required to access the IEC 61850 network. Furthermore, the software Megger GOOSE Configurator (MGC) and Sampled Values Analyser (SVA) complete the IEC 61850 test system.
With the MGC and SVA embedded in the SMRT and FREJA display models, the need to connect a computer to the IEC 61850 network is eliminated, enhancing cyber security.
Yes! Megger has taken a major stake in the company IPS Energy which has many different software solutions for asset management and asset performance management.
The EPIS and RELEX software modules are dedicated to management of relay protection assets. Check it out on their website www.ips-energy.com or contact us for further information.
Yes! There is no limitation in the onboard software so everything that can be done on the PC can be done without a PC.
That includes anything from simple manual tests to fully automated tests through test templates. By using the onboard screen potential PC related issues such as connection or firewall problems, are avoided.
