Home / How to check the sensitivity of relay protection
An operational current at relay terminals should be observed to ensure proper sensitivity. An assessment of sensitivity of the measuring elements of relay protection was performed. Based on simple examples of the generator-transformer unit protection from symmetrical short circuits, it was shown that the sensitivity factor is not a sufficiently objective measure of sensitivity of the. So, in this case, to protect the whole line, the setting has to be able to detect fault current above 150 A. This guide is designed to inform engineers, power system operators, and technical enthusiasts about the calibration process, its importance for different relay types, and best practices based on. 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.
