Current Transformer Tests

Current Transformer Tests: Current Transformer Tests are generally mounted in the switchgear when it is delivered to site and may not be easily accessible. The normal tests which are carried out can easily be performed with the CTs mounted in the switchgear. These tests are: Polarity Check, Ratio Check and Magnetization Curve. Polarity Check: This …

Classification of Relay Testing

Classification of Relay Testing: Classification of Relay Testing are usually conducted to demonstrate that: the relay will operate correctly to clear a fault; and the relay will remain inoperative on faults outside its specified zone. To ensure correct operation of relay, it is advisable to set up a relay testing programme to suit the system …
