General commissioning of relay protection
This paper suggests a process for performing consistent and thorough commissioning tests through many sources: breaking out relay logic into schematic drawings; using SER, metering, and event reports from relays; simulating performance using end-to-end testing and lab. 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. Protection relays are not only intended for protecting the main application, but should also fulfill requirements regarding. 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.
