1. Motor Management Systems - Confirm

and/or apply settings provided by
others. Perform applicable tests to
determine functions and characteristics
of each operating element and expected
reaction; evaluate the results. Relays

can include but are not limited to

negative sequence, loss of excitation,
synchronization, thermal model.

Microprocessor-Based Motor
Protection Takes Protecting and
Monitoring Electric Motors into the
Digital Age [PDF] The following
examples highlight cases where the
application of microprocessor-based
motor protection relays improved the
protection, control, and/or monitoring of a
medium-voltage motor.

2. Generation relays - Confirm and/or

apply settings provided by others.
Perform applicable tests to determine
functions and characteristics of each
operating element and expected
reaction; evaluate the results. Relays
can include but are not limited to
negative sequence, loss of excitation,
synchronization, and overspeed.

Frequency Injection.

3. Transmission relays - Confirm and/or

apply settings provided by others.
Perform applicable tests to determine
functions and characteristics of each
operating element and expected
reaction; evaluate the results. Relay
functions can include but are not limited
to phase- and ground-overcurrent,
distance, phase comparison, current
differential, reclosing, and breaker
failure.

Impacts of Shunt Reactors on

Transmission Line Protection Shunt
reactors are installed to offset the
capacitive effect of transmission lines and
therefore improve the voltage profiles of
transmission lines. In addition, they also
help regulate the volt/VAR of power
systems.

relays at different locations and the

communication link between them.

Dynamic Testing Numerical Protection

Relays [PDF] This article demonstrates
the benefits of dynamic testing and shows
some examples of how to apply them.

New Techniques for Dynamic Relay

Testing - Part 1: Review and Problems
[PDF] The traditional method of testing
individual relay functions using steady-
state calibrations is no longer a viable test
method for testing modern multifunction
relays.

New Techniques for Dynamic Relay

Testing - Part 2: Solutions [PDF]
Dynamic relay testing has allowed users
to significantly decrease the amount of
time needed for testing while increasing
the quality of the test and the
documentation of results.

Using COMTRADE Records to Test

Protective Relays [PDF] COMTRADE
records that have been captured by
https://testguy.net/content/109-ETT-Level-4-Electrical-Protective-Devices 5/8
8/20/2019 ETT Level 4: Electrical Protective Devices

numerical relays and digital fault records

recorded during actual system events are
of particular interest since these provide
the ability to test protection for critical
faults or disturbances such as an out-of
step condition that are hard to create
using off the shelf test set software.

Output Logic Testing [PDF] A

common mistake for relay testers is to
use spare outputs, displays, and/or LEDs
for their pickup and timing tests and
ignore the in-service output logic,
believing that they are using the same
elements in their test equations as the
final logic.

Using Event Recordings to Verify

Protective Relay Operations [PDF]
The ability to use event recordings to
verify protective relay operations is now a
reality. Automatic data collection of fault
records assures the timely capture of
events.
