Does the software come with a protection relay library, and does Electrocon provide technical support when we need a new protection relay model?
Yes, CAPE comes with a large master library of relays, reclosers, fuses, and conductors. Our protection models are detailed and reliable. We model devices by manufacturer and style, and use the actual manufacturer-named settings in those models. Models include distance, voltage, and current differential relays, not just overcurrent relays. For overcurrent relays, we model voltage-restrained and product type time-overcurrent elements as well as standard OC elements. All required data reside in the user’s single database, and that includes the network, protection system, and the data required for line constants calculations. There are approximately 5,500 relay styles in the CAPE library now. If your relay is not already modeled, let us know and we will add the ones you need, as long as the manufacturer’s instruction manual for the device is available. This includes the modeling of special TOC curves. We will always provide technical support to customers on maintenance, often going beyond
