Design
Paramount importance
ensure that the system will operate under all required conditions,
Due consideration must be given to the nature, frequency and
duration of faults likely to be experienced,
Reliability (2)
Settings
Installation
take into account the parameters of the primary system, including fault
and load levels,
setting values of relays may need to be checked at suitable intervals to
ensure that they are still appropriate.
Site testing is necessary to prove the installation
simple and direct tests that will prove the correctness of the connections,
relay settings, and that the equipment is not damaged.
