    Individual commissioning of relay protection devices

    This paper suggests a process for performing consistent and thorough commissioning tests through many sources: breaking out relay logic into schematic drawings; using SER, metering, and event reports from relays; simulating performance using end-to-end testing and lab. This paper suggests a process for performing consistent and thorough commissioning tests through many sources: breaking out relay logic into schematic drawings; using SER, metering, and event reports from relays; simulating performance using end-to-end testing and lab. Abstract—Performing tests on individual relays is a common practice for relay engineers and technicians. Most utilities have a wide variety of test plans and practices. However, properly com-missioning an entire protection system, not just the individual relays, presents a challenge. Since the basic function of a protection relay is to correctly function under abnormal. Relay systems protect high-voltage equipment and transmission lines to ensure safe, stable systems. The information provided here is restricted to general notes regarding the procedures.

  • How to perform bidirectional testing on optical cables

    How to perform bidirectional testing on optical cables

    To reiterate, a bi-directional test consists of two measurements on the same optical fiber, made by launching light into opposite ends of that fiber, then averaging the attenuation at connectors without disconnecting the launch and tail cord from the cabling under test. An inherent benefit of OTDR testing is that it requires access to only one end of the fiber optic cable to perform. Because the distance and attenuation measurements are based on optical light backscattering and Fresnel reflection principles, scattered and reflected light photons can be analyzed at. A bi-directional test gives you OTDR results for both directions on a fiber. On the home screen, tap the Next ID panel. Otherwise, the attenuation (loss). Use launch cable to measure the first connector of the link. Increase pulse width for more dynamic range.
