PROTECTIVE RELAY TESTING

Safety is paramount in the operation of any electrical system. Protective relays play the critical role of safeguarding your equipment and providing operators with essential diagnostic information. The relays work by detecting equipment and system faults and tripping circuit breakers to prevent damage resulting from electrical energy surges. 

Power Products & Solutions is a third-party, independent, NETA certified testing company that specializes in protective relay testing. Trust our team with more than 30 years of experience in helping companies across the Southeast and beyond ensure their electrical systems are functioning correctly and safely.

Comprehensive Testing and Maintenance of Protective Relays

A protective relay can have a life span of 30 years or more. Power Products & Solutions has the experience and expertise to provide reliable, efficient testing throughout the entire life cycle.

We don't just perform testing when a fault occurs. Our proactive approach includes these types of testing designed to detect and prevent potential issues before they start:

• Bench testing: This protective relay testing service entails investigating the relay during the electrical system's construction phase to ensure its compatibility with the design. The process can prevent costly, time-consuming repair issues down the road.

• Commissioning testing: This testing process ensures the protective relay will perform as expected when the electrical system goes live. For example, it will verify that the relay will react correctly to interlocks and other conditions when attached to the switchgear.

• Maintenance testing: Periodic testing and maintenance are essential for determining whether the protective relay will continue to deliver satisfactory performance. While a relay equipped with self-testing features will detect most faults, it doesn't cover all the components in the protection scheme. Regular maintenance testing is also necessary to comply with NETA and other regulatory requirements.
