The function of a relay protection test bench
A relay protection tester is a device used to test and calibrate relay protection devices. The testing and verification of relay protection devices can be divided into four groups: Type tests are needed to prove that a protection relay meets the claimed specification and follows all relevant standards. The main function of a protection relay is to detect primary-sided faults or overloads as rapidly as possible and to selectively isolate the affected assets or parts of the grid from the rest of the grid or substation using circuit breakers. Acceptance testing, commissioning, and startup will include control power tests, current transformer and potential transformer tests, and any other device testing associated with the protective.
