Choose Your Relay Testing Fundamentals Online Training Programs In One Place
All the online theory and practical information we offer at once.
Get instant access to the entire relay testing fundamentals series that will give you the basic knowledge that will allow you to test any element in any relay/IED with any test-set:
- Fundamentals #1: Phasor Drawings for Relay Testers Course (Approx. 4 Hours of Lectures, Lessons, and Quizzes)
- Fundamentals #2: How to Test Overcurrent Relays Online Seminar (Over 32 Hours of Videos)
- Fundamentals #3: How to Test Protective Relays Online Seminar (Over 16 Hours of Videos)
- Fundamentals #4: How to Test Voltage Elements Inside IEDs/Relays (Over 13 Hours of Videos & 16 CEUs)
Fundamentals #1) The Phasor Drawings for Relay Testers Online Course – which helps relay testers understand the building blocks of every relay test, and convert between the FOUR different phase angle systems used in the protection and control (P&C) world. Your test-set and relay probably use two different phase angle systems.
Fundamentals #2) The How to Test Overcurrent Relays: An Introduction to Protective Relaying Online Seminar – which uses electro-mechanical and solid state overcurrent relays to help you understand relays, CTs, and how to apply the four fundamental tests that can be applied to any element inside any relay with any test-set. (Ramping pickup tests, pulsing pickup tests, timing tests, dynamic timing/pickup tests) You also learn how to perform the electrical and mechanical tests on an electro-mechanical relay.
Fundamentals #3) The How to Test Protective Relays/IEDs Online Seminar – which shows you what you should be testing inside an IED/Relay (Hint: standard element testing won’t find the most common problems) and how to apply those four fundamental tests to modern digital IEDs/Relays…without changing settings! This seminar will help you:- understand why you are testing,
- what you should be testing,
- learn how to get green checkmarks on your test report that actually matter, and
- how to troubleshoot problems.
Fundamentals #4) The How to Test Voltage Protection in IEDS/Relays Online Training Seminar – which shows you how to connect, understand, and test Over- and Under-Voltage elements in IEDs/Relays with Wye, Open-Delta, and Broken Delta connections. This seminar also sets you up to test more advanced element tests with detailed information about three-phase, phase-to-phase, and phase-to-ground faults and symmetrical components.

Fundamentals #1: Phasor Drawings for Relay Testers Course (4 NETA CTDs)
Waveform diagrams contain every detail of an electrical system, but that information can be difficult to understand without a lot of effort. Phasor drawings take the complex information embedded in waveform drawings and convert it into phasor diagrams so that you can see the most important information about an electrical system at a glance. Understanding phasor drawings is probably one of the most important skills that a relay tester must have to be successful!
Take this course to learn these topics:
Understanding Phasors and Creating Phasor Drawings- What Are Phasors?
- How to Draw Phasor Diagrams
- Drawing Phasors with Different Scales
Create and Understand Phasor Diagrams Used by Different Relay and Test-Set Manufacturers
- Drawing Phasors with Lagging Angles (Megger and GE SR)
- Draw Phasors with Positive Angles (Doble and Manta Test Systems)
- Draw Phasors with Negative Angles (GE UR)
- Draw Phasors with Positive and Negative Angles (Omicron and SEL)
