    Abstract: A testing apparatus for imposing a traveling wave signal on an electric system signal for testing a fault detector is disclosed herein. The fault detector may be configured to simulate a fault at a particular location by controlling the timing of the traveling wave signal. The testing apparatus may be configured to impose multiple traveling wave signals to test the accuracy of the fault location determined by the fault detector. The testing apparatus may be configured to determine the calculation accuracy of the fault detector. The testing apparatus may impose a traveling wave signal on a signal simulating an electrical signal on an electric power delivery system. The testing apparatus may be used to test capabilities of a fault detector of detecting a fault using traveling waves or incremental quantities.

    Abstract: According to various embodiments, an intelligent electronic device IED, such as a protective relay, includes a universal binary input circuit for receiving an AC or DC binary input with a voltage magnitude between approximately 0 Volts and 300 Volts. The universal binary input provides reinforced isolation via an input protection subcircuit and an optocoupler for communicating an optical signal with an electrically isolated controller based on the received binary input signal. In one embodiment, a duty cycle modulation subcircuit generates a pulse width modulated drive signal to drive the optocoupler based on the voltage magnitude of the received binary input. The duty cycle of the pulse width modulated drive signal is (linearly or nonlinearly) inversely proportional to the voltage magnitude of the received binary input.

    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for monitoring a plurality of analog-to-digital converters. In one embodiment, a plurality of input channels may each be in communication with a different phase of a three-phase electric power delivery system. The input channels may be configured to receive analog signals from the different phases. A composite signal subsystem may be configured to generate a composite signal based on the plurality of input channels. An analog-to-digital converter subsystem may be configured to produce a digitized representation of each of the plurality of input channels and a digitized representation of the composite signal. An analog-to-digital converter monitor subsystem may identify an error in the analog-to-digital conversion based on the digitized representation of the composite signal and the digitized representations of the plurality of input channels.
