Description
Relay testing can be frustrating!
You’re often thrown into unfamiliar situations, and you’re expected to know exactly what to do:
- Even when you’re testing a new relay or configuration…
- Even when the manufacturer’s manual is confusing…
- Even when you haven’t been properly trained…
But what if you could avoid all of that, learn to navigate almost any testing scenario, and become a true relay testing expert?
This online protective relay testing seminar follows Chris Werstiuk (author of The Relay Testing Handbook) as he shows you the basic skills you need to test any digital relay with any modern test-set to help you become a relay testing craftsman.
Watch this series of videos on any device with speakers or headphones, and a good internet connection. You have 24/7/365 access to the videos, which are broken down into logical chunks that you can watch at any time, in any order, so you can fit this series into your busy schedule.
You can pause, rewind, and re-watch the videos as often as you like to make sure you catch every detail and then ask questions in our comments section.
What do I get when I enroll in the “How to Test Protective Relays Online Seminar” today?
- Download a simple flowchart you can follow to test any digital protective relay with any test-set.
- Unlimited 24/7/365 access to over 18 hours of videos where Chris Werstiuk tests various relays using different test-sets and explains how he is performing the test, and why.
- Follow along with your test-set and overcurrent relay, or you can rent one of our relays by the month.
- Ask Chris questions and interact with other students in the comments section for each lesson and topic.
- Request more content if you don’t see your relay or test-set represented in the course.
You can follow along with your test-set and any overcurrent relay to get the maximum benefit from the seminar, or you can rent one of our relays.
Why should protective relay test technicians take this relay testing training course?
Wouldn’t it be nice if your testing career started by following a mentor around as they tested relays, and who had the time to explain what was going on and why? Let Chris be the mentor you should have had from the start. He takes the time to explain what he’s doing, why he’s doing it, and then shows you several different options to get the job done right.
This seminar explains how to test protective relays using Chris’ decades of relay testing experience and nearly a decade of relay testing training to make smarter test plans that are more effective and more efficient than traditional test plans. Plus, he describes everything he’s learned about generic relay testing.
We recommend every relay tester take this seminar, regardless of their experience level. We often find that relay testing experts are shocked by what they didn’t know when they take one of Chris’ courses.

What are you waiting for?
We can’t stress enough that this is everything we know about generic relay testing. You will understand every aspect of relay testing after watching these videos.
Imagine applying everything you learn in this seminar on your next job site where you’ll:
- Gather up the materials you need,
- Create a well-designed test plan that is perfect for the relay you’re working with to prove it will actually trip when it is supposed to,
- Sit down; hook up all the leads; turn on the test set, relay, and laptop; and start testing.
No more back-tracking, jury-rigging, or flipping back through manuals and notes, trying to get the relay to operate.
You’ll be able to run your tests and record your results: all of the boxes checked, all of the correct information. Exactly what your boss or client is looking for.
