Establish a Protection System Maintenance Program (PSMP) as identified in PRC-005. The testing and verification of relay protection devices can be divided into four groups: Type tests are needed to prove that a protection relay meets the claimed specification and follows all relevant standards. First Consideration: Why do we test? Because NERC says so! What the NERC Study Tells Us! Second Consideration: What do we. The purpose of this Standard Work Practice (SWP) is to standardise and describe the method for testing of Ergon Energy protection relays for commissioning purposes. This SWP should be interpreted in conjunction with Standard for Substation Protection (V1. Even if the scheme has been thoroughly tested in the factory, wiring to the CTs and VTs on site may be incorrectly carried out, or the CTs/VTs may have been. Relay testing is the process of verifying that protective relays are calibrated correctly and functioning accurately. Relays contained bearings, springs, fixed and movable contacts, rotating.
