    Relay protection voltage display fault

    Measure the voltage levels at the relay terminals and perform a visual inspection to check for any loose connections or damaged wiring that may affect the relay's operation. They are intended to quickly identify a fault and isolate it so the balance of the system continue to run under normal conditions. The selection and applications of protective relays and their associated schemes shall achieve reliability, security, speed and properly coordinated. For example, unselective protection operation during a medium voltage network fault will cause an outage for an unnecessarily large number of consumers. While this is bad, It's not a. Used relays (that have been installed or have switched any load current) must be tested for functionality at much higher voltages and currents - typically about 12V, 100 mA (or 500mA). Consult Quality or Product Engineering for advice. New relays (right out of the package) must pass the contact. For the testing of relay protection we can use Omicron CMC356, Compano and other manufacturers testing devices.
