Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 Application
The Fault Waveform Analysis Software (FWAS) WaveEv provides an offli ne software for the
analysts and the general technical personnel of the power system to display the fault waveform,
analyze the fault and print the waveform and analysis results. This software may be either used
independently, or used with Disturbance & Fault Recording System (DFRS), Protection Analysis
System (PAS), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System(SCADA) and Substation
Automation System (SAS).
1.2 Copyright
WaveEv is developed by NR Electric Co., Ltd. (NR for short), and the copyright is reserved by
NR. Only the authorized users have the right to use this software.
Please contact with NR in case of problems during the usage of WaveEv.
1.3 Overall Function
WaveEv includes waveform files operation, waveform display and print, waveform analysis,
formul a calculation and data display of analysis results, etc.
Waveform file operations include:
open file, save file, format conversion and merging file.
Waveform display/print include:
browsing waveform, zoom in/out, viewing data, label, copying waveform, pri nt setup, print preview,
print, etc.
Waveform analysis includes:
fault location, fault line detection, harmonic analysis, power analysis, impedance analysis and
sequence component analysis, etc. New waveform analysis function can be developed by adding
new analysis function module.
The analysis results may be displayed in the form of list, polar coordinates, rectangular coordinate,
bar chart, pie chart and text, etc.
This instruction manual will introduce the how to use these functions in details.
1.4 System Files and Environmental Parameters Setup
If WaveEv is installed in Windows OS, no environmental configuration is needed.
If WaveEv is installed in Linux/UNIX OS, the current directory of executable files is required to be
set in the environmental parameter COMTRADEPATH of OS.
In Linux/UNIX OS, if the current path is \user\ems\WaveEv, an environmental variable
COMTRADEPATH must be added in the environmental variables of the system, the value of which
Chapter 1Overview

Chapter 2 Usage Instruction
2.1 Introduction to Main Interface
Figure 2.1-1 Main interface of WaveEv
The main interface is applied to provide an access to call various modules, which adopts
traditional menu bar, toolbar, status bar, floating window and multiple-document interface. The
multiple-document interface displays the original waveform and the page waveform generated by
analysis.
Various functions may be conveniently selected for analysis through the menu bar, toolbar or
shortcut menu.
2.2 Waveform Files Operation
2.2.1 Open Waveform Files
Select the menu File->Open or the toolbar button to open the waveform file, and the
following "Open waveform file dialog box will pop up. Select the data file (*.DAT) to open the
waveform file.
Chapter 2Usage Instruction
NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD.

NOTEThe letter O with underline indicates the shortcut of Open. Press the button
Ctrl+O(O is case insensitive) can directly open the dialog box of Open waveform
file instead of performing the menu.
Ctrl+O: Open
Ctrl+S: Save as
Ctrl+P: Print
Ctrl+X: Exit
Figure 2.2-1 How to open a waveform file
2.2.2 Path and Recent Historical Files List
When the file is opened again, the last opened path of such file may be recorded, thus this path
may be adopted when the waveform is opened next time.
Ten recent waveforms may be recorded, and the recent waveform files may be opened quickly
through File->Recent Files.

clicking the button.
Click the button to pop up a dialog to customize the sampling rate of the
data to be saved into the file.
Figure 2.2-4 Dialog to customize the sampling rate of the data to be saved into a file
In the above figure:
Only the values in 2 columns(Customized sampling rate and First sampling point No.) can
be modified.
The values in Default sampling rate and Default sampling point number is determined by
the waveform file and will remain unchanged in WaveEv.
The Customized sampling point number can not be modified directly, it is determined by
Chapter 2Usage Instruction
NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD.

configuring Customized sampling rate. E.g.: if the Default sampling rate is 9600Hz, and the
Default sampling point number=1344, when Customized sampling rate=3200Hz, so
Customized sampling point number will be modified as 448 by WaveEv automatically.
NOTE

In the above figure, the Default sampling rate is the original sampling rate of
the waveform file, and it can not be modified here. The Customized sampling rate is
applied to customize the sampling rate of the sampling data to be saved into the file, the
Customized sampling rate must be 1/N of the Default sampling rate, (N is a
positive integer).
The First sampling point No. is applied to select the start point No. of the sampling
data. First sampling point No. must >=1 and <=N (=N=Default sampling
rate/Customized sampling rate) E.g.: if the Default sampling rate=9600Hz, and
the Customized sampling rate=3200Hz, N=9600Hz/3200Hz=3, so First sampling
point No.
can be customized as 1,2 or 3.

2.7.1 Line Setup
It is used to determined whether R line or the T line are displayed.
2.7.2 Analysis Option
1) Unfold low frequency sampling
The function to unfold low-frequency sampling waveform is applied to widen the low-frequency
sampling section of 50Hz to a higher frequency. During the process to widen a low-frequency
sampling section, the beginning point is the 1st sampling point of the low-frequency sampling
section (suppose the phase angle of the beginning point is Angle A), the ending point is the 1st
sampling point of sampling section after this low-frequency sampling section (suppose the phase
angle of the ending point is Angle B).
Theoretically, Angle A and Angle B should be the same, but in application, these 2 angles will
differ from each other due to frequency fluctuation. The method currently adopted to solve this
problem is to distribute this angle difference to every cycl e in the low-frequency section averagely.
