TST 103: SEL Feeder Relay Testing

Course Length: 3 Days (PDHs: 23)
Course Based Fees: $1,500*
* Plus Applicable Tax

Description

In this course, you will learn the skills required to enter settings, test, commission, and troubleshoot SEL relays.

You will:

  • Review skills required to work with SEL relays.
  • Learn about specific distribution relay testing considerations.
  • Practice the acquired skills by working with different relays throughout the course.
  • Gain familiarity with the operating principles of each type of relay.
  • Explore the features of SEL relay technology to make appropriate choices when designing test routines.

A variety of SEL relays are used during TST 103, including feeder protection (SEL-751A), transformer protection (SEL-787), and directional overcurrent (SEL-351S) relays.


Audience

TST 103 is intended for relay technicians or protection engineers and system consultants with an interest in relay testing.
