Protective relay testing and

diagnostics
Objective
- Learn about the types of tests used in protective relays testing of electrical systems.

- Have a hands-on experience of defining the settings and parameters of the relays and the relevant
tests and checks in various units available for training.

- Experiment directly with several relays and communication software for the sequence followed in the
case study.
