5.2 SETTINGS
The settings sub-menu provides access to the advanced user programmable features of the MTS-3000. All
parameters in this sub-menu are reset to their default values on power-up.
5.2.1 Reset to Defaults
The first option within the settings submenu is Reset to Dflts, (Reset to Defaults). This selection is a
convenient way to simulate ‘rebooting’ the MTS-3000, subsequently resetting all settings to their default
power-up status.

5.2.2 Fault Type
The fault type selection allows the MTS-3000 to operate in one of four operational modes: Vector,
Φ
-N,
Φ
-
Φ
,
and
3
Φ
.
The operation of the MTS is optimized to suit the particular test to be performed by selecting
the appropriate fault type.
5.2.2.1 VECTOR MODE.
Vector mode is the most basic method for operating the system. The amplitude and phase relationship of
each AC output must be individually programmed and modified. It may be used for single-phase testing, or
for polyphase testing where there are already detailed step-by-step instructions available, which include the
numerical phase and amplitude settings for all outputs.

fault modes are advanced operating modes which automate many of the adjustments
necessary in polyphase work. Complex adjustments, such as the four parameters which must be adjusted
simultaneously to simulate a phase-to-phase voltage collapse in a 3
Φ
system, can be controlled by a single
MODIFY knob adjustment or keypad input.
