Acceptance Requirements for Relay Protection Devices

Home / Acceptance Requirements for Relay Protection Devices

The IEEE standard for protection relays refers to a collection of guidelines developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. IEC 60255 – General Requirements for Protection Relays Covers the design, performance, and testing of protection relays. But failure to operate as intended can result in extensive damage, extended power outages, and loss of life.

PROTECTIVE RELAY TESTING

A comprehensive testing program should simulate fault and normal operating conditions of the relay. Acceptance testing, commissioning, and startup will include control power tests, current transformer
