Protection Relay Testing and Commissioning
This online engineering PDH course presents information on protection relay testing and commissioning. It addresses basic testing terminology as well as various tests including factory production, type tests, commissioning and maintenance tests.
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. The testing and verification of relay protection devices can be divided into four groups: 1) Routine factory production tests, 2) Type tests, 3) Commissioning tests, and 4) Occasional maintenance tests
This 6 PDH online course is suitable for electrical engineers with a desire to understand the fundamentals of protection relay testing and commissioning. Upon successful completion engineers will be able to address different tests, related procedures, outcomes, simulation hardware and software and procedures during protection relay commissioning and occasional maintenance.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Functional factory tests
- Electromagnetic compatibility tests
- High frequency disturbance test
- Steady state magnetic field tests
- Overvoltage tests
- Environmental and mechanical tests
- Testing hardware and software
- Commissioning tests
- Occasional maintenance tests
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, “Protection Relay Testing and Commissioning”.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of thirty five (35) questions to earn 6 PDH credits. The quiz will be based on the entire document.
Upon successful completion of the quiz, print your Certificate of Completion instantly. (Note: if you are paying by check or money order, you will be able to print it after we receive your payment.) For your convenience, we will also email it to you. Please note that you can log in to your account at any time to access and print your Certificate of Completion.
