ARTES RC4 –Relay Test System for Renewable Energy
The ARTES RC4 is newest generation of KoCoS relay test systems, developed for precise, flexible and efficient testing of protection relays in substations, industrial plants and renewable energy applications. Designed for demanding field use, the compact test system combines high-performance current and voltage outputs with intuitive operation and a rugged hard-shell case.

Benefits
• Powerful test functions with higher current outputs
• Four voltage and three current outputs
• Additional voltage output for applications such as testing ground fault protection systems.
• New binary transistor outputs for fast and flexible simulation of control signals.
• Optimized binary inputs for improved signal acquisition and evaluation.
• Standalone operation via an integrated 5-inch touchscreen, function keys, and rotary controls.
• Independent adjustment of phase angle, amplitude, and frequency for each output
• An internal feedback measurement continuously monitors the output values, ensuring maximum accuracy.
• Overload- and short-circuit-protected outputs ensure safe operation.
• Portable, IP67-rated hard-shell case with integrated cable compartment for demanding on-site conditions.

ARTES Testing Software
The ARTES RC4 is fully integrated with the ARTES testing software, providing a comprehensive platform for configuring, executing and documenting relay tests.
The software includes an integrated database for managing test objects, settings and results, ensuring consistent documentation and efficient workflows. A wide range of dedicated test modules supports different protection functions and automatically calculates the required test values based on relay settings. Automated test sequences, detailed reporting and intuitive operation help engineers complete even complex testing tasks quickly and reliably.

Users can also operate the ARTES RC4 directly via the integrated touchscreen, while the PC software offers advanced automation and comprehensive analysis functions whenever required.
