In-service protective relay meter tests are THE MOST important tests that should be performed on every digital relay. All of your offline relay testing is meaningless if: The CT/PT ratios are incorrect. The relay isn’t connected to its input signals (CTs/PTs). The relay is looking in the wrong direction. The
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
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
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
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”
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
