Verify that power system has sufficient redundant and back-up protection while relay is out of service for testing. Use test switches to isolate output contacts to prevent undesired tripping and alarms. Be aware of effect on other. The testing and verification of relay protection devices can be divided into four groups: Type tests are needed to prove that a protection relay meets the claimed specification and follows all relevant standards. Since the basic function of a protection relay is to correctly function under abnormal. The first relays were Electromechanical (EM): machines with moving parts actuated by coils connected to current and voltage sources. These required regular testing, adjustments and maintenance to ensure continued functioning. Relay testing involves verifying the performance, accuracy, and.
