, Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of simulation test kit and more particularly the present invention relates cloud based fault simulation and test data logging.

BACKGROUND
[0002] The background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Conventionally, simulation test kits are widely used in electrical and automation to test different protections. The simulation test kits are used to check performance of a device under different conditions to increase reliability and performance of the device. While testing the device number of records can be saved in a memory for later use. The simulation test kits are coupled to the device such as circuit breakers using connection serial communication cables such as RS232 and RS485, which needs to be done manually. Simulation test kit generally generates analog signals that give input to air circuit breaker (ACB) release to power ON and requires a maintenance person to physically go to each release and connect the simulation test kit to the release, for testing.
[0004] The simulation test kits are configured to run test scrip on the air circuit breaker that needs to be tested. The test scripts include signals with predefined current and voltage values. The test script is so selected that it causes a fault condition in the air circuit breaker in response to which the air circuit breaker trips. For this purpose, the test script current and voltage values are kept equal to or greater than the maximum and minimum current and voltage ratings of the air circuit breaker. Also, if there are hundreds of air circuit breakers that are need to be tested, in that case selecting each test script to be run on all the air circuit breakers, manually corresponding to their maximum and minimum current and voltage rating values (also referred as rating values, herein) is tedious and very much time consuming.
[0005] Therefore, it is desired to have a simulation test kit that can select the test script automatically based on the maximum and minimum current and voltage ratings of the air circuit breakers without manual intervention.

OBJECTS OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0006] A general objective of the present disclosure is to provide a simulation test kit capable of selecting a set of first signals (also referred as test script, herein) for testing the different air circuit breakers.

Their function may be carried out through the operation of program logic, through dedicated logic, through the interaction of program control and dedicated logic, or even manually, the particular technique being selectable by the entity implementing this invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art further understand that the exemplary hardware, software, processes, methods, and/or operating systems described herein are for illustrative purposes and, thus, are not intended to be limited to any particular named.
[0065] As used herein, and unless the context dictates otherwise, the term "coupled to" is intended to include both direct coupling (in which two elements that are coupled to each other contact each other) and indirect coupling (in which at least one additional element is located between the two elements). Therefore, the terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are used synonymously. Within the context of this document terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are also used euphemistically to mean “communicatively coupled with” over a network, where two or more devices are able to exchange data with each other over the network, possibly via one or more intermediary device.
[0066] It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that many more modifications besides those already described are possible without departing from the inventive concepts herein. The inventive subject matter, therefore, is not to be restricted except in the spirit of the appended claims. Moreover, in interpreting both the specification and the claims, all terms should be interpreted in the broadest possible manner consistent with the context. In particular, the terms “comprise” and “comprising” should be interpreted as referring to elements, components, or steps in a non-exclusive manner, indicating that the referenced elements, components, or steps may be present, or utilized, or combined with other elements, components, or steps that are not expressly referenced. Where the specification claims refer to at least one of something selected from the group consisting of A, B, C …. N, the text should be interpreted as requiring only one element from the group, not A plus N, or B plus N, etc.
[0067] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow. The invention is not limited to the described embodiments, versions or examples, which are included to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention when combined with information and knowledge available to the person having ordinary skill in the art.
