Complex grids depend on equipment such as transformers, protection relays, switchgear, and cables—each of which can develop faults not immediately visible during normal operation. As a result, ...

A Relay Protection Tester is designed to simulate electrical quantities such as current, voltage, frequency, and phase, allowing engineers to test protective relays under controlled conditions.

Pickering Interfaces (Clacton-on-Sea, UK) has introduced the PI-MXT90-100 test tool that identifies faulty relays on its complex PXI switching matrices. The diagnostic tool uses a test adaptor and a ...

Verification and diagnosis of complex switching operations in a test system has been made easier with the introduction of built-in self-testing capabilities to select models of Pickering Interfaces' ...

A motor protection relay safeguards electric motors by detecting thermal stress, phase imbalance, stall, and abnormal operating conditions that overload devices and breakers cannot see, guiding ...

Complying with reliability standards requires considerable resource planning. The tools and suggestions provided here may help engineers conform to new generator relay loadability requirements. But ...

GE Multilin has unveiled the RTT Desktop Test Set, a compact, portable tool that allows engineers, technicians, consultants, and integrators to test and validate the protection, control logic and ...

The objective of protective relays and protective schemes is to protect electrical equipment such as transformers, lines, cables, bus bars, etc. during abnormal system conditions. Hence, protective ...

Pickering Interfaces is lowering the cost of ownership of switching systems with the introduction of its eBIRST diagnostic test tools. The eBIRST tools, designed specifically for Pickering Interfaces’ ...
