Capabilities
Batch print TCC plots & diagrams for various paper sizes
Graphical curve tracker with cross lines & time gap tools
Customizable reports
Benefits
Enables system engineers to easily & efficiently perform
protective device coordination studies
Provide an accurate & realistic operating characteristic,
time, & state of protective devices
Offers insight into troubleshooting false trips, relay misoperation, & mis-coordination
Graphical Adjustment
Device curves can be graphically adjusted in the Star View.
Handles are provided on the device characteristic curves to
identify adjustable regions. Available ranges for a selected
curve can be displayed and identified by clicking the Hide/
Show Range button. The available ranges are grayed out
when an adjustable curve is selected.
Sequence-of-Operation
Star Sequence-of-Operation evaluates, verifies, and confirms
the operation and selectivity of the protective devices for
various types of faults for any location directly from the oneline diagram and via normalized TCC curve views.
Sequence-of-Operation provides a system wide solution
for an accurate and realistic operating time and state of
protective devices, such as relay, fuse, circuit breaker, trip
devices, contactor, etc. The operation time is calculated for
each protective device based on its settings, time current
characteristic, and interlocks for a specified fault location
and type.

Graphical Animation of
Protective Device Operation
Normalized TCC Curve
Normalized (Shifted) TCC mode is an analysis feature in
ETAP Star View which is based on Sequence-of-Operation
calculation. This analysis mode provides a graphical view
of the operation times of protective devices based on their
corresponding settings and characteristics for specified
fault location and type. Normalized TCC mode graphically
displays the TCC curves of protective devices in relation to
one and another for a given fault.

Library Merge
ETAP allows merging of library files using the copy and merge
functions. The merge function allows you to merge a partial or
complete library file from one library to another library, making
it simple to manage the library content from various library files.
Library Checker
The checker access level is provided for verification of
changes to project engineering properties and libraries
data. This allows for control and validation of library data.

Steady-State Response
ETAP Star exports the relay settings and parameters to
ARTTS for current injection into the relay. Based on the
required range of the overcurrent and/or fault current, the
relay test set then injects multiple currents (single-phase or
three-phase) into the relay in order to reconstruct the relay
TCC curve based on the actual relay response. The relay
test points are then imported to ETAP Star for plotting and
comparison with the manufacturer published data.
Transient Response
The ability to simulate relay response under steady-state
and transient conditions during both fault and normal
system operating conditions provides the necessary tools
for protection engineers and technicians to confidently
determine and evaluate the design and operation of
protection system. Steady-state fault current provides only
a snapshot operation of the relay based on sustained
current. Transient fault simulation is necessary to
determine the actual response time of the relay based on
the distributed through fault containing AC and DC decay
current.
