"Chris is a great instructor! I've had the pleasure of interacting with him at the Hands on Relay School at WSU. If you are an electrician starting out in this field or thinking about pursuing relay protection work, this book is a must. Check out his training videos on youtube under Valence Electrical Training as well, best videos I've found yet!"

"I have just bought your protection relay testing set of books about a few weeks ago and I just wanted to say that I’m very impressed with it.
I have been commissioning power systems for a few years and I wish I had found your books a while ago."

FAQ
Here are answers to some frequently asked questions:
We use a combination of SEL and GE relays for specific examples in our relay testing books. However, all of the principles can be applied to any relay from any manufacturer.
We only mention electro-mechanical relays in a historical context. We decided that there is 75 years of existing content for E-M relays out in the world already and we don't have much to add.
Our books are written for relay testers by relay testers and our primary focus is new relay testers. However, just about every experienced relay tester who's taken a class has been shocked by how much they've learned. We often don't realize how much we don't know. Therefore, we recommend that all relay testers sign up for all of our training material.
Relay engineers can also benefit by learning what they should be looking for when they create their relay settings.
