In a typical application, Protective Relay Testing should be conducted at least every two years in accordance with NFPA 70B. This utility standard establishes the requirements for testing and maintaining protection systems, automatic reclosing, and sudden pressure relaying. When a relay malfunctions or fails, the costs can be severe: equipment damage, safety threats, and even prolonged power outages. In HV (High Voltage) and MV (Medium Voltage) substations, relay protection safeguards critical assets such as transformers, circuit breakers, and lines. Many important issues, such as coordination of settings, operating times, characteristics of. Incorrect operation of motor protective relays could remove essential motors from service, resulting in economic loss due to process interruptions. Motor protection schemes should cause minimum process downtime while providing adequate protection.
