Protective Relay Training Overview
Our Protective Relay Training course will benefit personnel at all levels of experience because it covers a range of relay scheme complexities and methods for testing and analyzing relay operations. We discuss system protection principles, measurement devices used for relaying, basic relay schemes, and the most common schemes used in the field.
This course is designed for protective relay technicians, system protection engineers, consultants, and engineers and technicians working in system protection. It provides professionals with real examples from actual system protection situations. This course is designed for protective relay technicians, system protection engineers, consultants, and engineers and technicians working in system protection.
This Protective Relay Training course covers relay theory and operation of modern digital types from two major North American relay manufacturers (GE Multilin and SEL), covering many types of functions such as phase, ground, negative sequence overcurrent, over and under voltage, over and under frequency, reverse power, distance and bus/transformer/line differential. Topics such as complete motor protection, fault-current basics, and the application of fuses, circuit breakers/contactors in industrial and distribution substations will also be covered.
Engineers who need a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and solutions for protecting electrical power systems should attend this course.
The Protective Relay Training course provides basic guidelines for relay application and settings calculation. It also reviews basic power system concepts and describes instrument transformers. This course is designed for technicians, operators, maintenance personnel and engineers who need a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and solutions for protecting industrial power systems.
This course provides guidelines for downloading and installing software packages from North American relay manufacturers, establishing communication between the laptop and the relay, and providing basic relay logic programming examples. The course provides guidelines for relay protection applications, principles and setting calculations, and an overview of relaying protection for motors, transformers, medium-voltage cables, feeders, buses, generators, transmission and distribution lines, breaker failure, and capacitor banks. This course reviews basic power system concepts and current- and voltage-transformer instruments.
Protection requirements for industrial plants, cogeneration, and interconnection with the utility power system are explained in detail. This course covers power system protection from a practical perspective, including important functional aspects such as testing and protection system coordination. This course is designed for individuals in industries and utilities that depend on proper system protection to maintain operational efficiency and minimize equipment damage.
A properly designed protection system with downstream devices (breakers/fuses/relays) should be activated before upstream devices. This minimizes the portion of the system affected by a fault or other disturbance. At the substation level, feeder breakers should trip before the main. Likewise, downstream panel breakers should trip before the substation feeder supplying the panel.
Protective relay testing is essential for ensuring accurate system protection, and modern relay test sets allow technicians to verify performance under real-world fault conditions. Testing relays regularly helps confirm proper coordination, detect hidden issues, and maintain the reliability of critical electrical equipment.
Students will learn the essentials of electrical protection design, relay coordination, fusing fundamentals, and breaker fundamentals. They will also gain an understanding of digital protective relaying as we go through practical examples of electrical protection for generators, feeders, motors, and transformers.
