Conprove conducted InCompany training at TIC Trens — Applied training in protection, automation, and testing for railway traction substations

Conprove conducted an InCompany training course at TIC Trens, focused on elevating technical proficiency across protection, automation, measurement, and testing in the railway environment. With a hands-on approach grounded in real-world cases, the training combined fundamentals, lab exercises, and best practices in commissioning and maintenance.

• Strengthen theoretical and practical knowledge of typical protection functions in railway traction substations (27/59, 50/51, 67, 81, 87, among others)
• Standardize commissioning, FAT/SAT, and maintenance procedures with full traceability
• Apply evidence-driven testing using the CTC (Conprove Test Center) and CE‑70XX family test sets
• Introduce IEC 61850/61869 digital flows (GOOSE and Sampled Values) in hybrid scenarios

• Protection and automation fundamentals in traction systems: particularities of loads, harmonics, and switching operations
• Relay testing: methodologies for over/undervoltage (27/59), over/underfrequency (81), overcurrent (50/51/67), differential (87)
• Power quality: sags, harmonic distortion, P/Q/S, and impact on protection/measurement
• Digital flows: principles of IEC 61850 (GOOSE, SCL, QoS), IEC 61869 (SV), and “analog vs. digital” validation
• Commissioning best practices: acceptance criteria, tolerances, evidence, and auditable reports
• Safety, PPE, and integrity checks before, during, and after testing

• Manual and automated testing in the CTC with CE‑6003/6006/6706/6710/7012/7024 test sets
• Sequences with the Software Sequencer (steps, ramps, faults, impedance modes)
• GOOSE/SV exercises: timing comparison between wire contact and network event
• Structured report generation with oscillographies and pick‑up/drop‑out recordings

• Team became more autonomous and productive in testing and diagnostics
• Standardization of methods and reports, reducing rework and downtime
• Readiness to evolve from conventional architectures to digital substations
• Improved operational reliability and safety in procedures

• Tailored content to your asset portfolio and internal standards
• On-site instruction with your equipment and real-world cases
• Knowledge transfer focused on immediate applicability
• Custom test plans and pre-configured template kits in the CTC

If you wish, we can prepare an InCompany training proposal (basic → advanced) for your team, with modules on protection, 61850/61869, power quality, and a pre-configured test-plan package in the CTC.
