Abstract

To   ensure   consistent   reliability   and   proper   operation,  protective  relay  equipment  must  be  evaluated  and  tested.  This  paper  presents  the  requirements  for  testing  the  ac  and d.c. auxiliary power supply of protective relays and the test results. The test severity levels, test set-up, test procedures and test  report  are  presented  according  to  the  IEC60255-11  Ed.2.0.  A  numerical  relay  commonly  found  in  the  power  distribution  systems   is   used   for   testing.   The   tests   are   carried   out   to   determine  the  ability  of  the  relay  to  withstand  a  variety  of  disturbances as specified in the international standard.
