Relay Protection Field Verification Procedure
One approach to test the total protection system is to use primary injection techniques (see appendix H) that trigger protective relays and lockout relay, trip circuit breakers, and initiate annunciations and indications. The testing and verification of protection devices and arrangements introduces a number of issues. Protective circuit functional testing, including lockout relay testing, must take place immediately upon installation, every 2 years thereafter, and upon any change in wiring. The procedure depends on the relay type (electromechanical, static, or digital/microprocessor-based), but the general steps include:.
