December: Main-tie-main Auto Transfer Scheme and Breaker Health

In this Tech Talk, Robert Muziol will provide a practical overview of Main-Tie-Main (MTM) Auto Transfer Schemes and modern breaker monitoring technologies. Attendees will learn about the different types of transfer schemes commonly used within industrial power systems and the key considerations involved in selecting the most appropriate approach for a given application. 

The session will include a detailed review of the Multilin 850 transfer scheme logic and settings, explaining how automated transfers are configured and executed to support reliable system operation. Implementation methods using both traditional hard-wired architectures and modern IEC 61850 GOOSE messaging will be discussed, highlighting the advantages and considerations of each approach. 

Robert will also share practical troubleshooting techniques, frequently encountered challenges, and answers to common questions related to transfer scheme applications. In addition, attendees will be introduced to breaker monitoring and diagnostic capabilities, including breaker health functions, operating modes, setup procedures, and methods for reviewing…
