Although testing of individual components may take place on a regular basis (e., relay calibration and lockout relay testing), it is essential to test the entire protection circuit, including wiring, and all connections from “beginning to end” to ensure integrity of the. Settings of various relays need co-ordination. Tests are conducted by the manufacturer at manufacturer s works, and by the user at site during commissioning and periodic maintenance. Since the basic function of a protection relay is to correctly function under abnormal. Protective circuit functional testing, including lockout relay testing, must take place immediately upon installation, every 2 years thereafter, and upon any change in wiring. Send. Relay systems protect high-voltage equipment and transmission lines to ensure safe, stable systems. Ensuring that. Relay protection systems are designed to detect abnormal conditions in electrical networks, such as short circuits, overloads, or ground faults.
