Test area: Test

Description

The test allows you to simulate manually customised current and/or voltage values.

Part	Function
Back	Returns to the main page of the Test area function.
Open	Opens a test on the page that was previously downloaded and saved on the PC.
Save	Saves the test to the PC in .test format. Note: the .test format is a proprietary format that can only be read with Ekip Connect.
A	Indicates the session and title of the open test
B	Select the tab Signals or Harmonics
Start	Starts the test

Part	Description
A	Signal settings, e.g. load type (inductive or capacitive), power factor.
B	Phasor diagram: displays and allows changes to be made to the phase shift and amplitude of the phasors of the signals to be simulated during the test. Just drag the end of a phasor to modify the diagram.
C	Signals table: displays and allows you to change the numerical value of the amplitude and phase difference of the fundamental component of the test signals. Amplitude can be expressed both in relative (rated current/voltage) and absolute terms (Amperes/Volts).
D	Graphs of currents and voltages based on the settings in the phasor diagram or signal table.

Part	Description
A	Area for selecting/deselecting the current phase or voltage for which the amplitude of the harmonic components is to be changed
B	Harmonics diagram: displays and modifies the amplitude of the 3rd, 5 th, 7 th, and 9 the harmonic component of the AC test signals. Just drag a point of the harmonic to modify the diagram.
C	Graphs of currents and voltages based on the settings in the harmonics diagram.

CAUTION! Perform the test with no current flowing

With the device connected and communicating with Ekip Connect, click on Tools > Test area.
If required, create or select the session in which to perform the test (Create a test session).
Click on Run test: the test page opens.
Customise the values in tabs Signals and Harmonics according to the device configuration and the conditions to be tested.
Click on Start: the signals are sent to the protection release and a window showing the progressive status of the test opens.
The release may generate a trip, depending on how it has been configured.

Note: none of the parameters can be edited during the test.

To interrupt the test, click on Stop.
To view the report, click on View test report: the test report appears.
If required, export the data in .xlsx format, download in .pdf format or print the report.
