Pickering Interfaces (Clacton-on-Sea, UK) has introduced the PI-MXT90-100 test tool that identifies faulty relays on its complex PXI switching matrices. The diagnostic tool uses a test adaptor and a ...

Electromechanical components such as relays and switches often must undergo endurance tests that verify their reliability and safety. Regulatory standards typically have compliance criteria that ...

Testing relays is both an art and a science. As relay technicians inevitably learn in the field, pure theory-based understanding of protective relays is not nearly enough for the real-world situations ...

Pickering Interfaces is lowering the cost of ownership of switching systems with the introduction of its eBIRST diagnostic test tools. The eBIRST tools, designed specifically for Pickering Interfaces’ ...

Megger’s new SMRT 36 smart protective relay test set is suited not only for testing today’s installations and legacy plant, but also for meeting the future challenges associated with testing the smart ...

An industry expert discusses use of the Weibull distribution for life testing electromechanical relays. Life tests for electro-mechanical relays can be set up using relatively small sample sizes, ...
