Abstract :
The article describes the concept of automatic testing of protective relays in power industry. First, the increased need for automatic test modules is explained. Next, a detailed example is provided using the "load encroachment characteristic". Relay settings and testing approach are explained step by step. Finally, the capability of the software is emphasized and conclusions are drawn.
