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 ...

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 ...

Relays are electromechanical devices that use a magnetic solenoid to actual a switch. When current is passed through the solenoid coil, it produces a magnetic field. The magnetic field is strengthened ...

The cost of component failures continues to increase as electronic products become more complex. Most component replacement costs are associated with marginal devices that become intermittent or fail ...
