How to Perform Dynamic Relay Testing on Digital Relays

The Relay Testing Handbook: Simplified Motor Relay Testing

If you’ve read anything about relay testing written in the last ten years or so, you’ll see a pattern; No-one is talking about the traditional pickup and timing tests most relay testers (and most automated relay testing software) use to test relays. You are much more likely to read terms

Why Does My Open-Delta Connected Phasor Diagram Look Weird?

Meter tests on protected relays connected to open-delta connected PTs can be very confusing. I know I spent a LOT of time trying to figure out the values reported by my first open-delta connected relay during my first simple meter test.  The voltage and current phasors were completely out of

Why Do Traditional Line Distance Protection Relay Testing Procedures FAIL on Digital Relays?

Traditional line distance relay testing procedures (MTA, Reach, and Timing) are a great way to test electro-mechanical relays and learn how line impedance relays operate; but they are inefficient, ineffective, and frustrating when applied to modern digital relays. This post will show you why your traditional tests are probably failing,

The Relay Testing Handbook: Simplified Motor Relay Testing

[one_half_first]The Relay Testing Handbook: Principles and Practice had been more than a decade in the making when it was published in 2012. It contained everything I knew about relay testing that could be included in a book format. The response from relay testers has been incredible and I’d like to thank
