Relay Schemes and Testing Calculations is developed for Relay Technicians by a Relay Technician. While the seminar is directed toward relay technicians, engineers and technicians from many other disciplines have also taken this seminar. This seminar provides attendees with in-depth knowledge of how protective relays work when executing testing and commissioning activities.
Target Participants
- Utility field engineers and technicians with prior relay testing experience
- Utility design engineers
