NERC currently has four Reliability Standards that are mandatory and enforceable within the jurisdiction of the ERO and address various aspects of maintenance and testing of Protection and
How often should protection relays be tested?
According to ANSI/NFPA 70B, relays in industrial settings should be tested every two years. IEC and other standards dictate a maximum of three years between tests.
Operation, maintenance, and field test procedures for protective relays
Although testing of individual components may take place on a regular basis (e.g., relay calibration and lockout relay testing), it is essential to test the entire protection circuit, including

Relay trip settings should be planned to ensure each protection device operates in the right sequence. This sequencing isolates faults efficiently and prevents disruption to unaffected parts
Protective relay
The need to act quickly to protect circuits and equipment often requires protective relays to respond and trip a breaker within a few thousandths of a second. In
Protective Relay Basics
There are many types of protective relay functions, but this presentation will focus on the most common type, basic overcurrent device 50/51 (instantaneous and time overcurrent).
Protection Relay Testing – How Often Should It Be Done?
For the proper testing, we follow standard procedures like AS/NZS 60255 series for protection devices and electrical relays. The standards dictate how accurate relays must be, the response time, as well
