Tuesday

Protective relays are becoming more powerful and complex every year which can make the relay testing portion of any project a daunting task.  Modern relays are defined by their settings instead of the model numbers of the past, and almost every relay could be as simple as a CO relay or as complex as an entire generator control panel.

• What should I test?
• What are the most effective and efficient testing methods?
• What equipment and/or software do I need?
• How in the world do I bid this job?

This panel will discuss these topics and try to find answers to these questions with other attendees along with representatives from different aspects of relay testing including:

• Test set manufacturers
• Test Technicians
• Project Managers
• Relay manufacturers
• Design engineers
