The primary duty of Relay Tester is to install, maintain, and repair elaborate, protective relaying schemes. The tester should take responsibility for the remote control and data systems. They must also look into the protection of metering and other settings. The tester is responsible for placing the equipment in proper functioning conditions. They use standard schematic or wiring diagram to repair all relay and protective equipment that includes supervisory or carrier current relay equipment.
The professional will examine and evaluate the control circuits, control equipment, voltage regulators, batters, and other related equipment. The Relay Tester must have the ability to understand and interpret diagrams and blue prints. They should be willing to work with energized electrical and mechanical equipment. The tester plays an active role in maintaining regular types of relays and associated equipment connected with a single trip function in an active status.
Additional Responsibilities of a Relay Tester Include
Repair and examine the relays used to protect and control the functions of the tools such as circuit breakers, transformers, and automatic switches
Attach the relay to test board and regulate test board controls to initiate operating conditions
Keep check of the ammeters, voltmeters, and other test board instruments
Look into the relay delay performance as per the previous specifications of the manufacturer
Evaluate the responses of the relay to assess the cause of a malfunction
Tighten up the bolts, springs, and electrical connections, and adjusts screws to correct the fault.
Modify electrical, thermal, and timing elements to standardize relay as per the installation specifications
Replace and rectify the defective relays with the help of machinery or hand tools along with brush or feather
Document test results, adjustments, and related data on relay history
Conduct timely inspections and investigate the relays at functioning points
Examine and rectify related equipment including telemetering and supervisory-control devices
Verify the circuit diagrams and ensure that the manufacturers are following the company standards
Examine the switches, clears, grounds, and locks of equipment
Maintain specialized equipment and complete any required modifications
