The Power System Toolbox consists of 3-phase components for power system studies (short circuit and fault analysis and relay protection). Key elements are the LINE3 component that are drawn and edited like Connections and the various phasor calculators based on MODELS.

 

 

Fundamental components

 

These are the building blocks in power system studies with easy fault application. Combine this with the standard voltage and current probes with steady-state output.

Power and RX calculators

 

These calculators require input of 3-phase currents and voltages (top-left node is voltage, bottom-left node is current). Normally the two input nodes can simply be connected and further to a unique 3-phase switch node, as shown in Fig. 4.86 . Note that currents can only be obtained from switches and ATP will give you the current in the first switch connected to the node you specify. To make sure you get the correct current in the case of several switches connected to the same bus, you should connect to a node not shared by any other switch with a different current. The current probe with Add current node adds two measuring switches in series behind the scene and gives you access to the unique middle point.

Protective relays

 

These relays should be connected to RMS (over current, and under/over voltage), Phasor calculators (differential), and RX calculators (distance). The directional over-current relay has its own zero sequence phasor calculator, and the frequency relay requires frequency input. The user must click on the input node of the models to make sure the correct signals are recorded. The relays using signals from other models has default input from models and must be ordered after the model producing the signals. Sorting by order was previously the only option to accomplish this, but ATPDraw v7 offers an option Edit|Arrange|Sort all Models to help ordering correctly. All the relays has a blocking control signal input, trip signal and trip zone information outputs. In the dialog window the user sets the zone characteristics and there is also View option that plots the zones and recorded trajectories (with down sampling) until trip. The W1RELAY21P component also has a zone helper.
