Settings
Faults run on an IEC 61850 test bench: sampled values out, GOOSE back. Tripping times are measured, not scripted.
Bench not reached: the relay is simulated in your browser.

Fault
A fault is permanent only if the short circuit is still there after the last reclosure.
Auto-recloser
From 2.5 s single-pole dead time, pole discordance trips all three poles.
Automation and testing
Plan value 180 s: shorten it to watch the sequence. In test mode no breaker moves.

SCADA · VIRTUS substation
Two-step command: select, then execute. The substation interlocks (AIVO) apply.
Local control has ended. The National Control Center has returned the substation to its normal configuration.
