Testing frequency relays with SVERKER900 considering the IEC 60255-181 standard

 

This application note is more than a description of how to use SVERKER 900 for testing frequency relays. It also wantsto spread the knowledge about IEC standardization in relay protection. Many engineers often associate theIEC series of protection standards IEC 60255-1xx1to relay type testing, and believe that they do not need to have competence about this series of standards. This is a misunderstanding: many of the concepts, definitions and test procedures described in thestandards are there to be used in relay technique, no matter if the role is relay manufacturer, user, or commissioning / maintenance testing engineer ([2], [3]).
