  👀 Is Your Substation Monitoring as Reliable as You Think? 🤔 With the rise of Digital Substations, many utilities are reevaluating how they capture and analyze System Fault Data. A common trend is to rely solely on system protection devices for fault recording. At first glance, this seems logical—fewer devices, less complexity. But does it truly provide the level of visibility needed for reliability and compliance? Here’s why standalone Digital Fault Recorders (DFRs) are still critical: ✅ Higher Data Resolution – Captures kHz-range waveforms for deeper fault analysis. ✅ Longer Event Storage – Unlike relays, DFRs retain historical data for trend analysis. ✅ Independent & Redundant – Operates separately from protection devices for reliable data capture. ✅ GPS Time Sync – Ensures accurate correlation across the grid. ✅ Better Grid Visibility – Works seamlessly with PMUs for system-wide monitoring. Here is a Real-World Example: A utility detected repeated fault triggers on its DFR and thought the DFR was faulty. The technicians checked for fault records in all the other devices in the substation, and there were no relay trips or alarms that could be traced to the triggering of the DFR records. They even used a digital volt meter to check the devices physically and found nothing unusual. 🤷 Upon contacting the DFR manufacturer and analyzing the data in the triggered report, they discovered a failing Capacitive Voltage Transformer (CVT). The disturbances on the A phase were minimal enough not to trigger a protection event. However, the resolution of the DFR settings created multiple records, which had been happening long enough to display an easily recognized failure trend. Addressing it proactively prevented a catastrophic failure. Without a stand-alone DFR, this issue may have gone unnoticed until it was too late. ⚡ What is the purpose of this post? DFRs act as the “Canary in the Coal Mine” for substations, providing critical early warnings and lengthy record storage capabilities to ensure compliance with NERC PRC-002-5 and PRC-028 and ultimately protecting grid reliability. 🎯 Are you still relying solely on protective devices for fault recording? Let’s discuss how DFRs can enhance your monitoring strategy! #PowerGrid #SubstationReliability #DigitalFaultRecorder #DFR #Energy #Utilities #GridMonitoring #MehtaTechInc #PRC002 #PRC028 #Compliance

ENHANCING NERC COMPLIANCE WITH STAND-ALONE DIGITAL FAULT RECORDERS In today’s rapidly evolving power grid, ensuring compliance with NERC PRC-002-5 and PRC-028 is more critical than ever. Utilities must implement robust Disturbance Monitoring Equipment (DME) to effectively capture, analyze, and report system events. While protection relays and SCADA-based event recorders are essential, they lack the high-resolution, time-synchronized data that is required for full compliance. This is where stand-alone Digital Fault Recorders (DFRs) offer a distinct advantage. ·      Higher Data Resolution – DFRs capture high-fidelity waveforms (kHz range), enabling deeper fault analysis. ·       Extended Recording Durations – Unlike relays, DFRs store longer event histories, ensuring critical disturbances are not overwritten. ·      Independent Operation – They function separately from protection devices, ensuring redundant and reliable fault data. ·      GPS Time Synchronization – Accurate event correlation improves root cause analysis across the systems. ·      Better Grid Visibility – DFRs integrate seamlessly with Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) for system-wide disturbance monitoring. By leveraging stand-alone DFRs, utilities can improve compliance, enhance grid reliability, and optimize post-event analysis—all while meeting NERC’s stringent data capture and reporting requirements. Is your utility prioritizing better fault recording strategies for NERC compliance?

Mehta Tech, Inc. is saddened to learn about the passing of Jim Leach, a former U.S. Representative and majority shareholder of Mehta Tech. Our prayers are with his family and close friends.  Jim’s constant support, encouragement, and guidance allowed us at Mehta Tech to reach beyond what we all might have thought possible. Jim’s bipartisan approach and national influence created an environment that allowed companies like Mehta Tech to grow and thrive. As a company founded and still operating in the Quad Cities region, we are thankful for Jim Leach’s leadership throughout his endeavors.

Let Mehta Tech help your team “Harness the Power of your Substation Data.” We are collaborative partners with our customers, developing customized solutions for individual needs and incorporating customer feedback into new designs and software. The new DFR+ is a result of this type of vendor-customer collaboration.

Hey, it's November 4, 2024, and Mehta Tech is excited to announce the release of our new DFR+ software. We have been working hard behind the scenes to improve the customer experience with our TRANSCAN equipment. We asked customers and non-customers about their experience with DFRs and industry trends. Some of the responses were expected, but this process provided a great deal of additional insight. As Mehta Tech has always tried its best to respond to customer needs, we are again providing solutions to help you operate and understand your substations better than ever. Our new DFR+ Configurator software is just the beginning of multiple solutions on the workbench. Here are some of the tasks that the DFR+ Configurator can help you accomplish, all from a “Single Pane of Glass,” no more jumping from one application to another; To quickly recognize differences, compare edited and different configuration files against original versions or edited ones that are time-and-date stamped with highlights. Automatically identify configuration errors and provide alerts and recommended resolutions for the identified errors. Automatically enforce PRC-002-5 rules while also allowing enforcement of PRC-028 rules where appropriate. The DFR+ is “Backward Compatible” with most Mehta Tech systems commissioned since the late 1990s. If you work with DFRs or need accurate, real-time operational data from your substations, contact us for a test drive of the new DFR+ software and our TRANSCAN equipment. #MehtaTech #DFRplus #TRANSCAN #PRC002 #PRC028 #substations #DisturbanceMonitoringEquipment #faultrecording #datafactory
