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 ...

A Relay Protection Tester is designed to simulate electrical quantities such as current, voltage, frequency, and phase, allowing engineers to test protective relays under controlled conditions.

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 ...

May 20, 2009, UK -- Protective relay installations that are based on IEC 61850, the new international communication standard for electricity substations, can now be tested easily and conveniently with ...

Electromechanical components such as relays and switches often must undergo endurance tests that verify their reliability and safety. Regulatory standards typically have compliance criteria that ...

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 ...
