Protective relays are decision-making elements in the protection scheme for electrical power systems. They monitor circuit conditions and initiate protective action when an undesired condition is detected.
Any facility with generating capability, and that is generating into the power grid, is subject to regulation by NERC, the North American Electric Reliability Council and their Standard PRC-005-1b — Transmission and Generation Protection System Maintenance and Testing as internal system faults can affect the grid.
Protective relaying serves many functions including isolating faulted circuits or equipment from the remainder of the system so the system can continue to function, limiting damage to faulted equipment, minimizing the possibility of fire or damage to adjacent equipment, and minimizing hazards to personnel.
When they are required to operate because of a faulted or undesirable condition, it is imperative that protective relays function correctly. A strong maintenance and test program will keep your protective relays in a high state of readiness ensuring they respond properly to normal and abnormal conditions and help you avoid equipment damage, prolonged downtime and employee injuries.
This 5 day course is 80% hands-on and will be customized to your electrical system and will provide your protection and control technicians with the skills to maintain and test your relays.

"The fact that training was offsite was very valuable due to no interruptions. Equipment used for demonstration was very valuable and could relate to our equipment. Troubleshooting faults is very valuable. 10/10, would take this course again. Excellent."
Brandon Campbell, Imperial Oil"Very good course and great facility to perform all the labs we need. The instructor was knowledgeable and presented the material clearly. I would recommend this course."
Sam Butterfield, Imperial Oil"Course was excellent. Hands on in the trailer made the course. Classroom stuff is important, but working with equipment helps huge."
Steve Wispinski, Imperial Oil"Very eye opening, especially since I do not do enough relays at work. I can't wait to use this knowledge at work.
Dustin Yarosh, Imperial Oil"Loved the course, hands on testing was great. The discussions about our on site specific problems were answered with references to CSA Z462/463 CEC and experience making it valuable."
