TESTING OF PROTECTION RELAYS BY SECONDARY INJECTION.
Notes:
1. Testing Engineer should provide the commissioning manuals and have the detailed understanding for testing
and commissioning procedure.
2. All outputs / indications to be tested.
3. Initial tests of new protective relays must include operating characteristics checks for a representative
range of available settings with Company approved computer operated test equipment running routines
developed for the specific relay and test set involved.
4. Relay auxiliary devices such as external resistors, metrosils, etc. to be tested to conform to required
ratings and manufacturer’s information.
5. Final calibration test of all protective relays must be carried out on approved settings, by secondary
injection at the front panel mounted test facilities.
6. Auxiliary and tripping relay testing shall include,
7. Pickup and dropout voltage, verification of all contacts.
8. Operation timing at 80% and 100% nominal voltage.
9. Time delay relays shall be tested at 0%, set point and 100% delay.
10. Use of red and green tags for tested relays, meters, etc.
11. All the relays and meters which have been tested and found o.k must have green tags
12. The relays and meters found defective during tests should be tagged red.

o IEC EI curve with 0.1 TMS.
o IEC STI curve with 0.1 TMS.
♦ Select the time over current curve one at a time on the relay.
♦ Inject testing current and monitor the operating time of the relay.
♦ Record the operating time.
