Page 132: Chapter 6: Records
RPV311 Distributed Multifunction Fault Recorder Chapter 6: Records This chapter details all types of registers created by the RPV311. Continuous and Triggered Fault Records Fault records can be created in the following ways:  Continuously: Measurements are continuously recorded. A new record is available each 10 minutes.
Page 133: Sampling Rate
If the pre-fault time of the second register does not overlap the post-fault time of the first records, then the RPV311 creates two separate COMTRADE files. In the figure below, if T ≥ pre-fault time + post-fault time, then the RPV311 creates two separate COMTRADE files.
Page 134: Trigger Burst Limiter
Chapter 6 – Records RPV311 Figure 71: Example of an event without concatenation Trigger Burst Limiter There is an user-configurable trigger burst limiter for the fault recorder. The burst limiter is based on the number of triggers time interval (both parameters are user-configurable).
Page 135: Recorded Values
Chapter 6 – Records RPV311 Derived measurements are continuously recorded. A new record is created at each hour rollover. The record size depends on the number of derived measurements selected by the user (limited to 64).  By trigger: The disturbance recorder can be triggered by a Boolean equation, by a cross-trigger signal of another recorder, by a manual trigger using the Web Interface, or by the triggering of the fault recorder.
Page 136: Sampling Rate
Chapter 6 – Records RPV311 The Maximum Record time configures the maximum duration that the register can reach. If consecutive retriggers or a sustained fault happens, the Maximum Record time establishes the limit of time that the COMTRADE file will register.
Page 137: Sampling Rate And Acquisition
Chapter 6 – Records RPV311 Sampling Rate and Acquisition The acquisition module RA333 has 3 independent channels (one circuit A, B, C), with an 8 bit A/D converter. The sampling frequency acquisition is 5 MHz, synchronized by a PPS signal, which means one acquisition each 200 ns.

Page 145: Accuracy And Twfl With Cvts
Note: The maximum number of RA333 that can be connected to the RPV311 is 4. The RA333 module has to be connected to the RPV311 processing module before its initialization. Otherwise a log message will tell the user to reboot the device.
Page 146: Three Terminal Line Application
Run the TW Fault Locator tool to find the fault location (Procedure described RPV311 manual, in topic 14.5). The fault location should be 50% of the line. Alternatively, it is possible to useone RPV311 and two RA333 connected to the same RPV311.
