Automated Power System Protection Testing

Summary

You will learn how to efficiently test overcurrent, distance and transformer differential relays with the OMICRON Test Universe. Become familiar with the test procedures in theoretical and hands-on sessions and get to know the benefits of automated testing and reusable test templates. 

Objectives

• Get familiar with the CMC test set and the Test Universe software for testing overcurrent protection relays
• Get to know important safety aspects for test preparation and execution
• Refresh your technical knowledge of overcurrent, distance and differential protection
• Be able to choose the appropriate software modules for testing distance and transformer differential relays
• Become more efficient in testing by creating and expanding reusable test plans
• Know the OMICRON support options including technical support, knowledge library and the worldwide community
• Get to know the full range of OMICRON solutions for protection testing
