In the current grid network you'll find millions, if not billions, of protection relays installed. They serve one of the main purposes - keep operation and power supply as smooth and stable as possible, and protect the assets and remaining grid as fast as possible when needed. To know exactly how to test them, and what is needed for this in one case or another, let's define and classify them firstly. Protection relays are categorized based on their construction, operation, and application. Protection Relays Types By design type 1. Electromechanical Relays Function: Operate using electromagnetic forces to physically move contacts.

Key Features: Programmable, offering greater accuracy, flexibility, and the ability to store data for diagnostics. By application type 1. Overcurrent Relays Function: Activate when current exceeds a preset level. Application: Protect against short circuits and overloads. Types: Instantaneous, inverse time, and definite time overcurrent relays. 2. Distance Relays Function: Measure impedance and operate based on the distance from a fault location. Application: Typically used for transmission line protection. Types: Impedance, reactance, and mho relays. 3. Differential Relays Function: Compare current between two or more points and operate if the difference exceeds a threshold. Application: Protect transformers, generators, and busbars. Types: Current differential, voltage differential. 4. Directional Relays Function: Sense the direction of current flow and operate based on fault direction. Application: Used in systems where power flow direction needs to be controlled, such as feeders and tie lines. 5. Undervoltage and Overvoltage Relays Function: Operate when the voltage falls below or rises above a set level. Application: Used to protect against undervoltage and overvoltage conditions in electrical systems. 6. Underfrequency and Overfrequency Relays Function: Monitor system frequency and operate if it deviates from the acceptable range. Application: Used in generator protection and grid frequency control. Each type of relay plays a critical role in ensuring the safe operation and protection of electrical power systems. Protection relay testing is essential for ensuring that relays perform correctly and respond as expected during electrical faults. The testing procedures vary based on the type of relay, but generally, they include visual inspections, functional tests, and performance validation. Below are the key tests : Protection Relay Testing Procedures 1. Visual and Mechanical Inspection Purpose: To ensure the relay is in good physical condition and properly installed. Steps: Inspect the relay for any physical damage, loose connections, or signs of wear. Verify that all wiring is correct according to the relay and protection scheme diagram. Check for proper relay mounting and grounding. Confirm the cleanliness of the relay, ensuring no dust or debris that could affect operation. 2. Insulation Resistance Test Purpose: To check the insulation integrity of the relay and its wiring. Steps: Use an insulation resistance tester (megger) to measure the resistance between the relay terminals and ground. Compare measured values against manufacturer-recommended insulation resistance levels. High insulation resistance indicates good insulation, while low resistance points to potential faults. 3. Operational (Functional) Testing Purpose: To verify the proper functioning of each relay element in the protection scheme. Steps: Simulate various fault conditions by applying test signals (voltage, current, or frequency) through a secondary injection test set. Check the relay’s response time and ensure that it trips or sends appropriate signals when thresholds are exceeded. For microprocessor-based relays, verify digital display readings, event logs, and communication protocols. Validate each relay element (overcurrent, differential, distance, etc.) independently to ensure correct operation. 4. Secondary Injection Testing Purpose: To simulate actual system conditions and ensure the relay responds correctly to applied test signals. Steps: Apply a known current or voltage into the relay's secondary side (from the CTs or VTs). Adjust settings to simulate fault conditions such as overcurrent, under/over voltage, or phase imbalances. Measure the relay’s operating time and compare it to specified values. Ensure the relay triggers the appropriate trip signal or alarm. Record and document all test results for analysis. 5. Primary Injection Testing Purpose: To test the entire protection system, including CTs, cables, and relay circuits, by injecting a current or voltage directly into the primary system. Steps: Connect a high-current primary injection test set to the main circuit. Inject current through the primary side of the CT to simulate fault conditions. Observe the relay’s operation and trip the circuit breaker if necessary. Verify the correct operation of the relay in real-time, along with associated tripping devices. 6. Contact Resistance Test Purpose: To measure the resistance of the relay’s contacts and ensure low resistance for reliable performance. Steps: Apply a low current (typically 100A or more) across the relay contacts. Measure the voltage drop across the contacts and calculate the resistance using Ohm’s law. Compare the measured resistance with the manufacturer’s specifications to determine contact condition. 7. Time-Current Characteristic (TCC) Testing Purpose: To confirm that the relay operates within the time-current characteristic (TCC) curve specified by the manufacturer. Steps: Apply increasing levels of current or voltage while recording the relay’s response time. Plot the results on a TCC curve to verify the relay's behavior under various fault levels. Ensure that the relay operates within the prescribed time limits for each fault scenario. 8. Pickup and Dropout Testing Purpose: To check the pickup and dropout points of the relay and ensure proper operation at the desired setpoints. Steps: Gradually increase the test current/voltage until the relay activates (pickup point). Slowly reduce the test current/voltage until the relay resets (dropout point). Verify that the pickup and dropout points align with the relay settings and manufacturer specifications. 9. Trip Circuit Supervision Test Purpose: To ensure the integrity of the trip circuit, including the wiring, trip coil, and relay output contacts. Steps: Test the continuity of the trip circuit to verify that all connections are intact. Simulate a fault condition and check if the relay successfully sends a trip signal. Confirm that the breaker operates correctly upon receiving the trip signal. 10. Relay Settings Verification Purpose: To confirm that the relay is configured according to the required protection settings. Steps: Review the relay’s settings, including pickup levels, time delays, and protection functions. Compare the configured settings with the protection scheme documentation. Make any necessary adjustments to match the system requirements. 11. End-to-End Testing Purpose: To validate the performance of protection relays across different substations by testing the entire protection scheme, including communication links. Steps: Use synchronized test equipment to simulate faults across the network. Test the communication between relays in different locations to ensure correct fault detection and coordination. Verify that the relays operate as expected under real-world fault conditions. 12. Event Recording and Analysis Purpose: To review and analyze relay behavior during testing or actual fault events. Steps: Access the event logs and disturbance records from the relay (for digital relays). Analyze the event data to assess relay performance and response time. Use the data to adjust settings, if necessary, or improve fault coordination. 13. Final Reporting and Documentation Purpose: To provide a comprehensive record of relay testing, including test results and any adjustments made. Steps: Document all test procedures, results, and relay settings. Include any corrective actions taken or settings changes made. Maintain records for future reference and relay performance tracking. Conclusion Protection relay testing is critical to ensuring the reliability and safety of electrical power systems. Following a structured procedure that includes visual inspections, functional tests, and performance validation helps identify issues before they lead to equipment failures or outages. Regular testing and maintenance also ensure compliance with system protection requirements and improve overall system reliability. To make life easier some relay test sets already provide you an option ot generate automatic assesment report after the test is performed.

Synchro check or sync check relays are used to verify that voltage, phase angle, frequency and phase rotation across two sides of a breaker are the same prior to closing the breaker. Synchrocheck relays ensures that bus and line side voltages are within programmed differentials of voltage magnitude, phase angle, frequency and phase rotation is the same. The permissive from this relay can then be used for either manual or automatic source paralleling. Out of ‘sync’ closing can create significant impact on the power system and in worst case can damage the equipment due to high short circuit currents. The sync check relay is ANSI element ‘25’. The basic method of synchronism check in a modern digital relay is shown in the figure below. Three phase input ( running source ) from one side of breaker is fed to the three-phase voltage input of the relay. A separate single-phase input from the other side of the breaker is used to provide the ‘sync’ voltage input ( incoming source ) to the relay. Synchrocheck Relay Settings For successful synchronization, voltage, frequency, phase rotation and phase angle of the two sources must meet the thresholds set per the user programmable settings in the relay. Voltage : Voltage settings for sync check relays have a voltage HI and voltage LO settings. If measured voltages across the breaker fall within this band then the corresponding relay word bits will be asserted (TRUE) indicating healthy voltage. Frequency : If the voltages are found to be good in the step above, relay then calculates ‘slip frequency’ which is the difference of frequency between the running phase voltage (fp) and incoming sync voltage (fs) input. For example, if the running frequency is 60Hz and the incoming frequency is 60.1Hz the slip frequency is -0.1Hz and the slip angle is 360. This means that in a time period of one second, incoming source (fs) will zoom past running source (fp) by 36 degree. Or in other words the angular distance between running source and incoming source changes by 36 degrees in one second. Frequency parameter to set in the relay will be ‘ Max Slip Frequency ’. If the measured slip is greater than the set value, the synchrocheck relay will not give permissive for breaker to close. While two utility sources should have very low slip (<0.005 Hz), a utility-generator or a generator-generator combination can have higher slip frequency threshold. Phase Rotation : The phase rotation can be ABC or ACB. One way to program phase rotation check is to use ANSI 59Q (negative sequence overvoltage) element in the breaker close logic. If negative sequence voltage is detected (Opposite phase rotation will result in high negative sequence overvoltage) the breaker close logic will prevent breaker from closing. Phase Angle : Phase angle settings for sync check relay is Max Angle . If the angle between the two sources is greater than this value, close permissive is not given. Within this there could be two options depending on the relay. Modes of Operation for Sync Check Relays Synchronism check relays can include various operating modes beyond the standard sync check function, allowing the output contacts to close when either the line or bus is de-energized. The primary options available are: Normal Synchronism Check : Ensures both the line and bus are live and within acceptable voltage, frequency, and phase angle limits before closing. Dead Line, Live Bus : Allows closing when the bus is live, but the line is de-energized. Dead Bus, Live Line : Permits closing when the line is live, but the bus is de-energized. Dead Line, Dead Bus : Allows closing when both the line and bus are de-energized, depending on system requirements. The pickup indicator lights up when the voltage difference between the Line and Bus meets the preset criteria, or under dead-bus, dead-line conditions. The voltage thresholds at which the line or bus are considered “live” can be adjusted independently within the relay settings. A common setting is 30 volts, with an adjustable range from 0 to 120 volts. In each mode of operation, if both sources are live, a normal synchronism check is performed. Sync relays with multiple operating modes can also be configured to only monitor for the standard sync check function. Testing and Maintenance of Synchro Check Relay Same as with any different IEEE class of relay, testing of Synchrocheck protective relays should always start with a detailed visual and mechanical inspection. The specific items to check and inspect will differ based on the relay type—whether it is electromechanical, solid-state, or microprocessor-based. Each type has unique components and failure points that need to be assessed accordingly during inspection. Some useful guidelines for the electromechanical relays are lined out in our earlier article - How to Test the Electromechanical Protective Relay? Check the functional operation of each element in the protection scheme by performing the following steps: Verify the closing zone at rated voltage. Measure the maximum voltage differential that allows closing at zero degrees. Confirm the set points for live line, live bus, dead line, and dead bus conditions. Determine the time delay settings. Check the advanced closing angle. Test and verify the control functions for dead bus/live line, dead line/live bus, and dead bus/dead line conditions. These checks ensure that each protection element operates correctly within its designed parameters. Various test units can follow this procedure, you need to be sure that your kit will be able to provide a selectable output frequency and a standalone voltage source to compare to. If you want to add functional testing, or check full operation of sensing elements and intercommunication of relays on a larger scale - IEC 61850 protocol could help. Advanced secondary injection test sets like EuroSMC Quasar or Omicron CMC 356 are great tools to cover single-phase and 3-phase sync check routine. Some relays have the self-test function, but never complete the test only by this operation, as it lacks a series of advantages a real-life simulation by secondary currents and voltages can bring.

Circuit breakers are one of the most intricate and essential mechanical components in the electrical power system. Their primary function is to interrupt both normal operating and short-circuit currents and manage routine adjustments in system configuration. A range of tests can be performed on high-voltage circuit breakers to assess the performance of their internal mechanisms. Whether the breaker operates using air blast, oil, vacuum, or gas, it is crucial to conduct regular testing to ensure reliable performance during system faults or switching operations. 1. Contact Timing Test As a rule of thumb, there are only 6 timing tests that are performed on a circuit breaker: Open – Simulates a short circuit trip. Also known as O. Close – Simulates a close on live circuit. Also known as C. Open, Close – Simulates a fast close after short circuit trip. Also known as O-C. Close, Open – Simulates a trip on short circuit after a close. Also known as C-O. Open, Close, Open – Simulates a reclose on a short circuit. Also known as O-C-O. Close, Open, Close, Open, Close, Open - Simulates a multiple close after short circuit trips. In addition a varation of O-C-O exists that starts with the closing command first. That is known as C-O-C (Close, Open, Close) and is available from some new circuit breaker testers on the market, for example, PME-700-TR . The primary objective of the contact timing test is to measure the moment when the contacts change state precisely , as well as to verify the contact travel, speed, and detect any irregularities. According to IEC 56 3.3.1 , all contact poles should separate within 1/6th of a cycle of one another. Important note - as written above, values correspond to the cycles, so time values will vary dependin on the grid frequency . The measured results are then compared to the tolerance limits provided by the manufacturer. Commissioning or acceptance test values are often used as reference points. Any deviation from these reference values can help determine the necessary course of action following a detailed analysis. 2. Mechanical Motion Test High-voltage circuit breakers are engineered to interrupt short-circuit currents at a precise speed to prevent voltage re-strikes. If the circuit breaker operates too slowly, it can reduce the breaking capacity of the main contacts, whereas excessive speed can lead to mechanical damage to damping components and cause excessive vibration. The velocity or acceleration curve of the circuit breaker is derived from the motion curve recorded by a transducer attached to the moving part of the operating mechanism. This curve helps identify any changes that could impact the mechanical performance of the circuit breaker. Motion tests are performed using a circuit breaker motion analyzer equipped with a transducer kit to check the operating mechanism stroke, velocity, damping, and over-travel against the manufacturer’s specifications. The recorded motion is presented as a curve displaying distance vs. time. 3. Control Circuit Test (Coil Current Measurement) Prevailing majority of modern circuit breakers feature electronic coils that activate the mechanisms controlling the opening and closing of the main contacts. These control components are usually powered by low-voltage substation batteries and can be prone to failure if their integrity is not regularly inspected. In the event of a system fault, a malfunctioning trip coil could lead to severe damage to the power grid and trigger unnecessary outages as upstream devices attempt to clear the fault. External voltage and current measurements will let the engineer check batteries and current through the breaker’s engines. Be sure to confirm that your CB testing unit can work with both DC and AC values, as an improper connection could be problematic . Circuit breaker control circuits can be evaluated by measuring the trip and close coil currents, along with the minimum pickup voltage. These measurements are compared against the manufacturer’s specifications to verify proper functionality. The operating coil current waveform offers a visual representation of the mechanical and electrical condition of the coils. Any significant deviations from the baseline test results should be thoroughly investigated. Usually, you'll see waveforms for both coils you are measuring on the same graph, and to have a deeper analysis a status bar of each pole of the breaker is shown alongside. 4. Contact Resistance Testing This test is crucial for contacts that handle marginally high magnitudes of current , such as switchgear busbars, because increased contact resistance can reduce current-carrying capacity and lead to higher losses. Ductor testing is typically conducted with a micro/milli-ohmmeter or low ohmmeter. Measuring contact resistance is essential for detecting fretting corrosion and diagnosing and preventing contact degradation. An increase in contact resistance can cause significant voltage drops in the system, which must be managed effectively. The visual inspection involves examining the contacts for signs of arcing damage, such as pitting, as well as checking for any wear or deformation. The second check is contact resistance measurement, which entails passing a fixed current through the contacts and measuring the resulting voltage drop . This test is conducted using a specialized contact resistance measuring instrument. The resistance is then calculated using Ohm’s law and compared to both the manufacturer's specifications and previous records. Both tests are necessary as they complement each other; contacts may exhibit good resistance but still be physically damaged. For a contact to be deemed in good condition, it must pass both the resistance measurement and the visual inspection.

Even though time flies and protection systems have been implementing more and more modern and advanced relays, many places still have operation backboned by Electromechanical ones. Design First of all, let's clarify what is, in fact, an EMR, or the Electro-mechanical Relay? An electromechanical relay operates by utilizing a movable physical component to connect contacts within its output section. This movement is driven by electromagnetic forces generated by a low-power input signal, enabling the circuit carrying the high-power signal to be completed. The physical movement within the relay often produces a " click " sound, which can be advantageous in certain scenarios. However, this movement can also cause internal arcing and requires a relatively longer time to complete the action. Operation type These relays typically operate instantaneously , closing as soon as the mechanical motion allows, without any intentional time delay. A time delay can be introduced using mechanisms such as bellows, dashpot, or clockwork escapement, though the timing accuracy of these methods is notably less precise than that of induction-type relays. EMR relays are generally housed in a semi-flush mounting, draw-out case, which is usually installed on the door of the switchgear cubicle. Installers connect sensor and control wiring to terminals within the case. The relay is then inserted into the case and makes connections via small switches or a bridging plug, depending on the manufacturer's design. This setup allows the relay to be disconnected and removed without disturbing the wiring . When the relay is removed, the current transformer (CT) connections inside the case are automatically shorted, which protects the CT secondary winding from overvoltage and potential damage. Applications Most commonly they are attached to medium voltage circuit breakers to detect abnormalities in the current flowing within the electrical system. There are no fancy functions or advanced logic to assess the condition of the network. But the simplicity, previous low cost, and rigidity in operation have earned the popularity for EMRs so we can still see a lot of them in operation today. Many of them are planned for replacement by more compact and advanced electronic and digital ones, but ongoing maintenance is still necessary. So this article will help you answer the question " How to test the electromechanical relay fast and easy?". Testing procedure for electromechanical relay Same as with many types of protection elements that have a mechanical component, it's important to check the physical condition of modules and parts before moving to the next stage. Maybe a contact is jammed, or some wiring came loose? Visual Inspection:  Remove the relay cover Inspect the gasket of the cover Inspect for cracks or frame tightness Clean the covers and glass thoroughly Remove the relay assembly from the case Shortcircuit the CT terminals for safety Open all of the trip circuits Foreign objects like metal bits and dust should be removed from the case and the relay. These may cause problems with the mechanical parts and erratic operation of the relay. Blow dust by blowing air gently using a hand syringe. Metal bits or corrosion should be removed from the magnet poles or disc using a brush or magnet cleaner. Hold the relay up to the light to ensure that the gap has good clearance and that the disc does not rub. Check for moisture problems. If you see rust spots on the relay, it is important to check if the relay is in proper operational environment. Moisture can cause severe corrosion and problems in the mechanical components. Check for loose connections. Taps, screws, bolts, nuts, and pivotal joints should be tight. The bearings should be smooth. To check, the disc is rotated manually to close the contacts and letting the action of the spiral spring to the relay disc to its de-energized position. You should observe for smoothness and should not be sluggish. Clean and put oil on the mechanism. However, if cleaning and oiling fails, the relay must be reconditioned or replaced. The operation of targets should be manually checked. This is done by fitting the armatures and checking if there is a showing target. The relay coil must be inspected to ensure that it is not subjected to high currents for a long time. The components that touch together during a relay’s normal de-energized position must be cleaned. This is to prevent the relay from getting stuck or operating erroneously, especially on low current faults. When you've finished with the visual and mechanical side it is time to test the electrical. Electrical Testing: Disconnect the relay from the trip and power circuits for testing. Secondary injection testing. This allows you to check the operation of the circuit breaker, relay connections and the relay assembly. This testing method is conducted by injecting current directly into the relay.  Tools What items to use? For mechanical conditioning a standard handyman set would be enough - have some clippers to cut wires if needed, a brush to clean from dust and particles, and screwdrivers, of course, to mount and secure all connections. For the electrical test, a standard single-phase or 3-phase injection kit would be sufficient, as the tester relay is quite simple on its own. Good option would be to use a secodnary testing device that has a standalone voltage source to power up tested relay. THis makes the procedure so much faster and independent from situation on site. Have any questions or comments - please share to improve the guide.

Take any type of transformer. It has a primary and secondary sides, and a core of course. When a normal voltage is applied to a transformer's terminals with the secondary circuit open, a small current flows in the primary winding. This current, known as the transformer excitation current, flows continuously during the transformer's operation. Why it´s so important? The excitation current is necessary to maintain a magnetic field within the core and is largely independent of the secondary load. It consists of 2 main parts - Core loss current component and Magnetizing current component . Let´s have a better look at them. Core Loss Current Core loss current represents the resistive losses in the transformer's core and is in phase with the applied voltage. It determines the no-load losses of the transformer, which include iron losses, minor dielectric losses, and copper losses from the excitation current. Of these, the iron losses due to eddy currents are the most significant. These losses are influenced by the frequency, maximum flux density, and the magnetic circuit's characteristics. Typically, core loss values are provided by the transformer manufacturer upon delivery. Magnetizing Current The magnetizing current lags the applied voltage by 90 degrees and its magnitude depends on factors such as the number of turns in the primary winding, the transformer's saturation curve, and the maximum flux density for which the transformer was designed. This current is purely reactive and does not directly contribute to no-load losses. However, reactive magnetizing power (VARs) is necessary for the transformer's operation, and this current must be supplied by the power source. For simplicity, their vectors can be graphed like this So the total excitation current can be calculated by the formula Core loss current levels are usually around 1% of the full load current. For magnetizing current situation varies in the 0.25%-5% range of full load curren, but can be as high as 10% in some types of niche application transformers. Any issue with the core will increase the reluctance of the magnetic circuit, leading to a higher primary current. A short between coil turns will cause additional current flow in the transformer, resulting in a higher-than-expected excitation current. If the excitation current is higher than expected or published values, it indicates potential problems with the transformer that may require further inspection . That's why any routine diagnostic tests and acceptance current transformer testing , as well as tests following extreme physical stress (for example failure on the line, CB operation, surge operation), should include measurements of excitation current and no-load loss. Magnetization curve of Current Transformers: Now, that we know about magnetization and how it reflects the health and quality of transformer operation, it would be great to locate a safe and reliable zone. A range where the ratio is stable, the core is not saturated and output is undisputed. And it can easily be evaluated on the graph below. The curve is typically displayed with secondary voltage on the y-axis and the excitation current , measured in the secondary winding, on the x-axis. By examining this curve, one can readily determine the magnitude of the exciting current necessary to generate a specified secondary voltage in a current transformer (CT). The magnetization or excitation curve is divided into four distinct regions: From the origin to the ankle point From the ankle point to the knee point The knee point area The saturation region Knee Point Voltage of Current Transformers: ANSI/IEEE describes it as the intersection of the curve with a 45-degree tangent line IEC defines the knee point as the intersection of straight lines extended from non saturated and saturated parts of the excitation curve. If you compare both - IEC knee is higher than ANSI - ANSI more conservative. In general, the simple rule to describe and understand it from the operational point of view is this: the point where 10% increase in applied voltage will cause 50% increase in excitation current With this evaluation rule, you can always measure the primary and secondary values of the CT you are testing and understand if it´s saturated or not. Modern equipment even has automated testing procedures that will locate the saturation point and demagnetize the transformer after the test. If you wonder how to find the knee point of transformer units like Raptor can provide you with a complete report with numerical and graphical values to evaluate and release the assessment So now you know what, in fact, is the excitation current, how to understand if your transformer is saturated, and how to find the Knee point.
