The Relay Training Center Seminar is conducted at your USA training facilities. Your cost per student goes way down when you have a lot of technicians to train and the training takes place at your site. Your technicians have minimal travel and we do not charge a per-student cost beyond the cost of student materials (an additional $50 per student beyond our incredibly low seminar price). One price covers all students. The only limitation to the number of students is the number that can be supported by your own training facilities. We ask that the students bring their scientific calculators and their laptop PCs (if they have them). Contact us for a price quote.

The Relay Training Center Seminar can be configured to meet your needs but, our success at creating protective relay technicians with our standard lesson plan is unmatched in the business. We do not seek to teach your technicians the nuts and bolts of operating your particular brand of test equipment, (you can get that from your equipment vendor).

 Instead we will provide you with the fundamentals of how the power system works.

With no more prerequisite training than high school level Trigonometry, Ohms Law and an introduction to protective relay testing we turn out technicians with power system knowledge and new relay testing abilities and confidence. 

The goal of every seminar is that the relay technicians have an understanding of symmetrical components.

By the end of the class we will have reviewed the high school level Trigonometry that is used to calculate the sequence components.

The student will know the rules by which the sequence components operate.

In short, the mystery of symmetrical components is removed.

The technician has the understanding of symmetrical components needed to use them in testing protective relays.

If you have an IEEE device #46 or #47 relay then you need this knowledge!

As you can see from the sample test, there are some comprehensive topics that are covered in the RTC Seminar.

But, the discussions on symmetrical components cover less than one day of the three-day seminar!

Please do not mis-understand this test. If you can pass this test then you probably do not need this course.

Even if you answer few questions correctly now, you will be surprised how well you do on this test AT THE END OF THE THREE DAYS!

Do you sometimes feel like a protective relay caveman?

Are you merely following a pre-printed recipe of relay tests?

Would you rather understand what you are doing?

Check out the typical list of topics covered in our 3-day seminar: 

Review Trigonometry and Ohm's Law

Quadrant Diagrams

Phasor Diagrams

Impedance Relay Characteristics

Symmetrical Components 

Convert R-X to Z

Convert Z to R-X 

Find phase-to-phase quantities from any two given phase-to-neutral quantities

Calculate the apparent impedance to a fault

Also presented is a section of the class that we call "Relays By The Numbers".

This part of the class is intended to take the mystery out of relay testing.

The discussion centers around relays by device number NOT by manufacture; all protective relays have to function in the same power system using the same physics. So, it follows that the testing should be the same for all relays regardless of manufacture or vintage.

The topics are about how and why the relays respond to quantities. The student can always follow through, back home, with the individual relay instruction material to decide upon particular hook-ups and adjustments. But, the training learned here will ensure that the right tests are run.
