    4. GENERAL INFORMATION

    The main function of protection relays in electrical power systems is to open, sending a signal to the
    power switch.
    Protection relays must operate within the nominal values specified by the manufacturer, in this way they
    guarantee their function for which they were designed.
    Electrical tests on the protection relays are carried out in order to verify that their operation and
    adjustments are in good condition; and verify the action time of each activated function.

    5. SECURITY MEASURES

    Before starting work, consider the following safety measures:

    a) Circuit Out of Service

    - Make a short talk explaining the work to be done, remembering the risks present and record it in
    the corresponding document.
    - Verify that the personnel who are going to carry out the work have the safety equipment in good
    condition, record it in the corresponding document.
    - Delimit the work area.
    - Reveal the working circuit to verify that there is no voltage.
    - Verify the grounding installation of the circuit to be tested.
    - Check Blocking of potential energy sources.
    - Continuously supervise the correct use of safety implements.

    b) Circuit in Service

    - Make a short talk explaining the hot work to be carried out, remembering the risks present and
    record it in the corresponding document.
    - Verify that the personnel who are going to carry out the work have the safety equipment in good
    condition, record it in the corresponding document.
    - Delimit the work area.
    - Continuously supervise the correct use of safety implements.

    - Review of the relay operation manual.


    - Identify the communication ports.
    - Make the connection between the laptop and the protection relay.
    - Download the relay parameters and settings.
    - Review of functional diagrams and relay connection diagrams.
    - The trip terminals are identified.
    - The current and/or voltage injection terminals are identified.
    - The sectional terminals are identified.
    - Disconnect the cables from the closing and opening terminals on the relay.
    - Then connect the current and/or voltage injection cables from the test case to the respective
    terminals of the relay.
    - Connect the relay trip wires to the terminals provided in the test case.
    - Establish communication between the evidence suitcase and the laptop by using the evidence
    suitcase software.
    - Once all the connections have been made and reviewed, the tests begin.
    - Inject current and/or secondary voltage to the relay through the test case, simulating pre-faults,
    verify alarm activation and trip.
    - Then, the test is carried out simulating a real failure, with opening of the power switch; Once the
    tests are completed, the power is disconnected.
    - Tests will be carried out for each enabled function of the relay.
    - Store the test report obtained during the protection relay operability tests.
    - Carefully disconnect the communication established between the protection relay and the
    laptop.
    - Once the tests are completed, the test cables are removed, the sectional terminals, and the
    opening and closing contacts of the relay are normalized; Then we proceed to readjust all the
    terminals on the protection panel and on the relay.
