With the Edison® idea™ relay platform, Cooper has advanced
the state-of-the-art in integrating control and protection.
Available now in Feeder and Line Distance relay versions, the Idea relay incorporates the most sophisticated software expandability of any relay available. Its unique Idea Workbench™ feature allows the relay's functionality to be expanded by adding downloading software modules. These modules can be created by the end user, third party developers, or from Cooper. Imagine the ability to upgrade the functionality of your protection and control system with out the need to update your relay's firmware. This also reduces the need to stock multiple versions of a given relay depending upon a specific field application.
In addition to offering a full suite of protective elements
in each relay, the idea incorporates extensive front panel
targeting to allow for fast and efficient visual determination of the relay’s
status, fault type, control modes, etc. The idea also features eight front panel hot keys which permit
the user to immediately access selected display screens, view metering, access settings, implement control
functions, or even to perform local operations. Although the function of each hot key is predefined for each
Edison idea , these definitions may be changed by the user to meet application specific requirements.
More than just protective relays, the Edison idea
iTP and iDP provide vital monitoring and measurement
of both continuous and operations-related
parameters. Exact capabilities depend
on the scheme file selected, and may include
some or all of the following monitoring functions:
Cooper’s exclusive ICSF (Incipient Cable Splice
Failure) Detection System for underground
cable predicts water induced cable splice
failures before they occur.
High-Accuracy metering of Amps, Volts, Watts,
Vars, and a variety of other quantities
Distance-To-Fault calculation
Breaker health monitoring including slow/stuck
breaker and I2t
Interactive Oscillography
Relay Replay
Sequence of Events Recording
Control Features
As a platform for substation automation, the
Edison idea is unequalled. Incorporating the
only true graphical programming language in
the protective relay field, the Edison idea allows
control logic of almost any level of complexity to
be easily developed, tested, and downloaded.
The architecture of the Edison idea allows
communication protocols to be downloaded as
well, providing flexibility of application today and
an upgrade path for any future communications
developments.
