The testing & commissioning of the protection relays can be done by different testing software and hardware. In this training, we have used OMICRON Test Universe, Vebko AMpro, and FREJA win.
Impedance protection function testing is a critical process conducted to verify that the impedance relays or devices installed in a power system are functioning correctly and capable of accurately measuring and responding to changes in impedance levels. This testing involves injecting specific test signals into the relay, simulating various fault conditions, and comparing the relay’s response against expected outcomes to ensure its proper operation during actual fault scenarios. By rigorously testing the impedance protection function, power system operators can confirm the reliability and effectiveness of these protection schemes in safeguarding the electrical network against faults and maintaining system stability. Regular testing is essential to identify any potential issues or malfunctions that may compromise the protection system’s performance and integrity.
