Protection Testing 101 – Basics and Overcurrent with Test Universe

Summary

Learn how to test basic relay protection and schemes with OMICRON Test Universe. This course covers voltage, frequency, and overcurrent protection in an environment for new or basic users of protection testing. Get familiar with the test procedure in hands-on and theoretical sessions. Work with test setups wired to mimic real-world conditions.

Objectives

• Periodic commissioning, troubleshooting, and periodic tests of protection relays
• Testing overcurrent relays with OMICRON Test Universe
• Creating and modifying test plans and customized test reports
• Using OMICRON Test Universe from scratch
• Using the OMICRON Protection Testing Library (PTL)

 

Content
