Protective Relaying – Part 1 and Part 2

Jim Phillips, P.E. will show you how to work with protective relays and determine optimal settings for protection and coordination in this first part of a two part class.  The Class begins with the basics of overcurrent relays and progresses in Part 2 with more advanced topics including differential protection, generator  protection, transformer protection and more.  Coordination involving   network systems where protective devices do not see the same  current for the same event will also be addressed.

The Class includes many of the more common relay functions such as overcurrent, synch check, reverse power, differential protection schemes, frequency as well as many other relay functions and schemes.  Participants will learn advanced topics such as how to construct protective relay time current curves and manually construct the ANSI C57 thru fault curves.
