use test procedures and philosophies that are based on previous generations of relays and their
limitations. Moder relays have very different characteristics which require a different testing
philosophy to ensure they will operate when required. This edition of The Relay Testing Handbook
Series outlines a step-by-step procedure that will allow the reader to create and implement a
protective relay test plan. The procedure follows a logical progression that can be applied to nearly
every application and ensures accurate and efficient relay testing that includes the following steps.
