Finding the Direction in Directional Overcurrent Relays
A reader recently asked a question about the forward and reverse directions described in the Directional Overcurrent Relay section of The Relay Testing Handbook series. I used electro-mechanical directional relays as an example, which may have been a mistake. Let’s take another look at the Directional Overcurrent (67) element from a
Testing Directional Overcurrent Relays
In the previous post about Directional Overcurrent relay (67) testing (Finding the Direction in Directional Overcurrent Relays), we reviewed Directional Overcurrent protection from a system perspective to enhance the descriptions in The Relay Testing Handbook: Principles and Practice. We’ll be looking at Directional Overcurrent relays from a testing perspective in
Testing Siemens 7sj622 Relay’s Directional Overcurrent and Directional Earth Fault Elements
peace be with you all Can you give me an idea, how to test SIEMENS 7sj622 directional o.c and directional e.f fault relay by using omicron .freja or any Numerical testing instrument? regardes mohammad elhaje
Good Directional Overcurrent Protection (67) Video
Instantaneous overcurrent (50) and time overcurrent (51) protection can protect equipment from overloads and short circuits, but there are situations where their ability to protect a system is limited. Many applications exist where the direction of current is not fixed because of multiple sources and/or parallel feeders. These situations prevent
SEL Test Procedure Negative-Sequence Volt-Pol Directional Overcurrent Element
I am writing to enquire about 67N test procedures, specifically Schweitzer relays. The Page 94 of the Relay Testing Handbook #C2 : Practical Relay Testing (50/51/67/59/27/81/87/21) by Chris Werstiuk says “some relays, such as SEL models, do not have user defined characteristics and operate dynamically based on actual operating condictions”
Can You Predict What Happens in a Directional Comparison Unblocking (DCUB) Scheme?
The Relay Testing Handbook: End-to-End Testing covers the most common Communication-Assisted Protection Schemes including the Directional Comparison Unblocking (DCUB) Scheme. This bonus animation shows the steps involved for a DCUB trip. End-to-end testers should understand how this scheme operates before they test it and this animation was created to help relay
