Length: 60 pages

The testing and verification of protection devices and arrangements introduces a number of issues. This happens because the main function of protection devices is related to operation under fault conditions so these devices cannot be tested under normal operating conditions. This problem is worsened by the growing complexity of protection arrangements, application of protection relays with extensive software functionalities, and frequently used Ethernet peer-to-peer logic.

This course is intended for electrical engineers with a desire to understand the fundamentals of protection relay testing and commissioning. Presented details cover basic testing terminology, various tests including factory production, type tests, commissioning and maintenance tests. Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to address different tests, related procedures, outcomes, simulation hardware and software and procedures during protection relay commissioning and occasional maintenance.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Identify functional factory tests.
• Describe electromagnetic compatibility tests.
• Test high frequency disturbance test.
• Explain steady state magnetic field tests.
• Compare overvoltage tests.
• Differentiate environmental and mechanical tests.
• Inspect testing hardware and software.
• Analyze commissioning tests.
• Calculate occasional maintenance tests.

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 35 questions. CPD credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
