Microprocessor-based relay protection tester characteristic and function testing
In order to verify the proper operation of complex multifunctional microprocessor-based protection devices (MPD) at their inspection, start-up after repairs, or during periodic tests, they should be tested for proper operation at several of the most critical preset. Since the basic function of a protection relay is to correctly function under abnormal. The first relays were Electromechanical (EM): machines with moving parts actuated by coils connected to current and voltage sources. These required regular testing, adjustments and maintenance to ensure continued functioning.
