Pickering Interfaces (Clacton-on-Sea, UK) has introduced the PI-MXT90-100 test tool that identifies faulty relays on its complex PXI switching matrices. The diagnostic tool uses a test adaptor and a ...

Testing relays is both an art and a science. As relay technicians inevitably learn in the field, pure theory-based understanding of protective relays is not nearly enough for the real-world situations ...

Megger’s new SMRT 36 smart protective relay test set is suited not only for testing today’s installations and legacy plant, but also for meeting the future challenges associated with testing the smart ...

Relays are common electromechanical devices in electrical circuits that come in two types: either latched or non-latched. Latched relays retain their last switch position even after complete power ...

Complying with reliability standards requires considerable resource planning. The tools and suggestions provided here may help engineers conform to new generator relay loadability requirements. But ...

Pickering Interfaces is lowering the cost of ownership of switching systems with the introduction of its eBIRST diagnostic test tools. The eBIRST tools, designed specifically for Pickering Interfaces’ ...

The cost of component failures continues to increase as electronic products become more complex. Most component replacement costs are associated with marginal devices that become intermittent or fail ...
