The Reliability of Switchgear Functional Checks

Image
The switchgear functional checks  are an important part in the overall electrical power system. The main objectives of these checks are electrical protection, control and electrical isolation. In order to prevent any electrical hazards from occurring, the switchgear panels are monitored. In addition, the switchgears are expensive, and a severe electrical hazard can become highly expensive. An essential component of switchgear operation and maintenance is this process. These inspections are carried out to make sure the switchgear is functioning properly and responds to different fault conditions.   On the other hand, Relays, circuit breakers, and transformers are examples of protective equipment that can have their performance and calibration checked using a procedure called primary injection testing . When testing a protective device, a strong current must be injected into it while simulating a fault scenario and checking to see if the device reacts as expected.   Some of...
