This paper suggests a process for performing consistent and thorough commissioning tests through many sources: breaking out relay logic into schematic drawings; using SER, metering, and event reports from relays; simulating performance using end-to-end testing and lab.

The testing and verification of protection devices and arrangements introduces a number of issues. This happens because the main function of protection devices is related to operation under fault conditions so these devices cannot be tested under normal operating conditions. Even if the scheme has been thoroughly tested in the factory, wiring to the CTs and VTs on site may be incorrectly carried out, or the CTs/VTs may have been. As a Relay Protection Engineer, your work in relay testing and commissioning is critical to ensuring system safety and continuity. This SWP should be interpreted in conjunction with Standard for Substation Protection (V1. 0) - 2948492 and the Ergon Energy Protection. Develop testing procedures and checklists, set up bench/lab test platforms, conduct detailed functional and operational tests, and conduct field testing and commissioning for protective relays, meters, controls, and automation devices. Protective relays are your most powerful defense against long, costly outages and extensive.
