For relays to work efficiently and protect electrical equipment they need to be checked periodically. Regular inspection
and maintenance of relays is paramount in protecting electrical systems from unscheduled outages. A number of problems
can occur without proper maintenance. Relays will nuisance trip when set too low. If not coordinated, the wrong
relay may trip and bring down large portion of the system.
Many factors can influence the operation of protective relays. These include changes in load, replacement of
equipment, dust or dirt from the environment or age. Regular maintenance, calibration and testing by trained personnel
is recommended.
