Commissioning Testing
SEL performs a complete functional check and calibration of each SEL-400
series relay before shipment so that your relay operates correctly and accurately.
You should perform commissioning tests to verify proper connection of the relay
to the power system and all auxiliary equipment. Check control signal inputs and
outputs. Check breaker auxiliary inputs, SCADA control inputs, and monitoring
outputs. Use an ac connection test to verify that the relay current and voltage
inputs are the proper magnitude and phase rotation.
Brief fault tests confirm that the relay settings and protection scheme logic are
correct. You do not need to test every relay element, timer, and function in these
tests.
At commissioning, use the relay
METER
command to verify the ac current and
voltage magnitude and phase rotation (see
Examining Metering Quantities on
Use the
PUL
command to pulse relay control output operation. Use the
TAR
command to view relay targets and verify that control inputs are operational. Use
TEST DB
,
TEST DB2
, and
TEST FM
to check SCADA interfaces. (See
, and
for
information on these relay commands.)

these tests, see

Acceptance Testing
Details
Description
Time
Test when qualifying a relay model for use on the utility system.
Goals
a) Confirm that the relay meets published critical performance specifications
such as operating speed and element accuracy.
b) Confirm that the relay meets the requirements of the intended application.
c) Gain familiarity with relay settings and capabilities.
Test
Test all protection elements and logic functions critical to your intended application.
Table 10.2
Commissioning Testing
Details
Description
Time
Test when installing a new protection system.
Goals
a) Validate all system ac and dc connections.
b) Confirm that the relay functions as intended using your settings.
c) Check that all auxiliary equipment operates as intended.
d) Check SCADA interface.
Tests
Test all connected/monitored inputs and outputs, and the polarity and phase rota-
tion of ac connections. Make simple checks of protection elements. Test commu-
nications interfaces.
