Evidence-first review

From disturbance record to clear relay-event understanding

ZeroRiskk keeps the review path practical: open the files, inspect the measured evidence, use advanced views only where inputs are available, and prepare a report when needed.

  1. 01

    Upload CFG/DAT

    Choose the matching configuration and waveform files in the upload section above.

  2. 02

    Inspect waveforms

    Review current, voltage and digital relay channels in a synchronized viewer.

  3. 03

    Measure timing

    Use the event table and A/B cursors for pickup, trip and breaker timing evidence.

  4. 04

    Use advanced views

    Sign in for Phasor, Computed, Fault Location, Distance/R-X and Differential evidence views.

  5. 05

    Prepare the report

    Create an Engineering Report or order AI fault analysis only when required.

Protection-engineering tools

Built around real disturbance-record review tasks

The interface focuses on relay evidence rather than generic charting, helping engineers move from waveform inspection to protection judgment.

Relay waveforms

Inspect current and voltage channels with synchronized time axes, zoom, pan and cursor measurements.

Digital events

Review pickup, trip, breaker and auxiliary transitions with measured event timing.

ƒ

Frequency / df-dt

Examine frequency behaviour and rate-of-change evidence from suitable recorded channels.

Phasor & computed

Use signed-in views for vectors, sequence quantities, power and derived evidence.

Z

Fault Location & R-X

Review apparent impedance, trajectory and location support when the required settings are available.

Δ

Differential evidence

Check operate/restraint evidence when suitable differential channels are available.

R

Engineering Report

Assemble selected evidence in an editable engineering report builder.

AI

AI Fault Report

Order paid AI-assisted fault analysis separately after reviewing the available evidence.

Frequently asked questions

Online COMTRADE viewer FAQ

Practical answers about opening disturbance records, free tools, registration and reporting.

What is a COMTRADE file?

COMTRADE is a standard format used by protection relays, disturbance recorders and power-system monitoring devices to store sampled analog signals, digital states and event timing. A record commonly uses a CFG configuration file together with a DAT waveform file.

Can I open CFG and DAT files online?

Yes. Choose the matching CFG and DAT files in the upload section above and select Analyze Waveform. ZeroRiskk supports common COMTRADE 1991, 1999 and 2013 records, including ASCII, BINARY, BINARY32, FLOAT32 and FLOAT64 data.

Is the ZeroRiskk COMTRADE viewer free?

Visitors can use the free online viewer for waveform review, analog and digital channels, cursor timing, Frequency / df-dt and Read Out. A free registered account unlocks saved records and advanced protection-analysis views.

Do I need to install desktop software?

No. The visitor viewer runs in a modern web browser, so a protection engineer can begin reviewing a disturbance record without installing a desktop COMTRADE application.

Can I review relay trip waveforms and digital events?

Yes. The viewer displays analog current and voltage channels together with digital pickup, trip, breaker and auxiliary-state transitions when those channels are available in the uploaded record.

Which tools require a free registered account?

A free account lets you save and reopen records, use Phasor, Computed, Fault Location, Distance / R-X and Differential evidence views, and prepare engineering reports from selected evidence.

Is AI fault analysis free?

No. AI Fault Analysis & Report is a separate paid report option for registered users. The free viewer and the free registered engineering tools remain available separately.

Can I prepare an engineering report from the disturbance evidence?

Yes. Registered users can assemble selected waveform, timing and protection evidence in the Engineering Report builder. The separate paid AI report is used only when AI-assisted fault interpretation is requested.
