Relay Services
Our relay services are designed to ensure that all protection systems operate efficiently, reliably, and accurately under all conditions. By providing thorough testing, coordination, retrofitting, and ETAP calculations, we help minimize electrical faults, optimize protection schemes, and extend the operational life of electrical networks. Our skilled team combines advanced testing techniques with industry best practices to maintain safety and prevent equipment damage.
Relay Testing
Relay testing ensures that protective relays function correctly and respond precisely to fault conditions. Accurate relay operation is critical for safeguarding equipment, personnel, and power systems. Our testing methods verify trip settings, response times, and relay coordination under simulated fault scenarios, ensuring the protection system is ready to operate when needed and preventing unnecessary interruptions.
- Functional testing of overcurrent, differential, and distance relays
- Verification of trip settings and response times
- Simulation of fault conditions to ensure correct operation
- Calibration of relay contacts and coils for accuracy
- Documentation of results for compliance and future reference
Relay Coordination
Relay coordination ensures that protective devices operate in proper sequence to isolate only the faulted section of a network, minimizing disruption to healthy circuits. By analyzing time-current characteristics and simulating various fault scenarios, we optimize relay settings to prevent cascading failures and enhance system reliability, ensuring a secure and continuous power supply.
