Relay Testing Software for Efficient, Automated Workflows

Megger’s advanced relay software simplifies protection testing with built-in routines for digital and electromechanical relays from global manufacturers. Automate test plans, reduce errors, and boost productivity—whether in the lab or out in the field.

Megger's relay software is designed to simplify life for industry operators and professionals by streamlining protection testing for digital and electromechanical relays.

It supports modern power systems, including IEC 61850 setups, with preloaded test templates and logical workflows that save time and reduce errors.

Features such as drag-and-drop test building, batch routines, and real-time data logging minimize manual effort, helping operators complete tasks faster and more efficiently. The software also generates accurate, standards-compliant reports, simplifying audits and internal reviews. With its intuitive interface, it’s accessible to professionals at any skill level, ensuring confident and efficient testing across the board.

Frequently Asked Questions

RTMS comes in two versions: Standard and Enhanced.
The Standard version is included free with your Megger test set. It covers core functions such as ramping, advanced ramping, overcurrent, distance, differential testing, and the ability to create your own test plans.
RTMS Enhanced is a paid upgrade and includes advanced tools such as Frequency Relay testing, Synchronizer, COMTRADE playback, SS1 file conversion, and a Power Swing simulator.

Currently, Megger does not offer a dedicated MMS (Manufacturing Message Specification) testing tool.
For MMS testing, we recommend using tools from companies that specialize in SCADA and RTU systems, as they have the domain expertise to handle MMS protocol complexity. These tools are designed to test IEDs non-disruptively and are backed by years of SCADA development experience.

Megger is actively working toward providing 24/7 IEC 61850-compatible test devices, but only once compliance with IEC 61850-3 (including hardware and EMC requirements) is fully achieved.
IEC 61850-3 compliance ensures that testing equipment meets the demanding conditions required in substations. Until then, we advise checking that any procurement includes IEC 61850-3-compliant devices to avoid integration issues or future non-compliance.
