The Bible is laden with stories of those who've carried the baton before us, who've stumbled,who've persevered. It's equally laden with stories of God's chosen people falling-away from theirfaith - often in the space of just a few short years.So is Christianity itself in peril? "Of course not," Shamblin notes, "but under the rightcircumstances, it is endangered in any given region of the world. Consider that, just a generationand a half after John Lennon outraged the West by quipping that the Beatles were 'bigger thanJesus,' Europe's percentage of practicing Christians is in the single digits."In The Relay, Shamblin catalogs the comparative successes and failures of nine individuals inpassing-along their faith to the next generations - from the father of all failure (Adam) to theultimate Spirtual Rags To Riches success (Paul). At the center of his book, not only thematicallybut literally (chapter six of eleven) is Jesus Christ, whose followers who took "the race" to a wholenew level, and a whole new arena.While a relay makes for an apt metaphor for passing-along our faith, Shamblin concludes, ourgoal as Christians is not to win a race, but to win the world. More than a message of profoundaffirmation, The Relay is a triumph of practical How To advice for anyone looking to take theirown journey with the Lord to the next level - and beyond.

This book was created for relay test technicians and provides the knowledge and skills necessary to test most of the modern protective relays installed over a wide variety of industries. Basic electrical fundamentals, detailed descriptions of protective elements, and generic test plans are combined with examples from real life applications to increase your confidence in any relay testing situation. A wide variety of relay manufacturers and models are used in the examples to help you realize that once you conquer the sometimes confusing and frustrating man-machine interfaces created by the different manufacturers, all digital relays use the same basic fundamentals and most relays can be tested by applying these fundamentals.By the end of this book, you will have the information you need to: Evaluate relay applications Review, understand, and compare the relay settings to the application Create a test plan Test the most commonly applied elements:Instantaneous Overcurrent (50)Inverse Time Overcurrent (50)Directional Overcurrent (67)Undervoltage (27)Overvoltage (59)Over/Under Frequency (81)Differential (87) (With three of six current channels)Line Distance (21) Evaluate the test results Provide comprehensive test results and documentationEach chapter is a self contained unit and the chapters are organized in a logical progression of knowledge to allow readers from different skill sets to focus on or skip to the sections they need without wasting time reading through information they already know. We also provide packages for technicians who are looking for specific information only. These packages can be downloaded in pdf format for easy viewing and printing as they become available.

As modern protective relays become increasingly more powerful and complex, many relay testers continue to use test procedures and philosophies that are based on previous generations of relays and their limitations. Modern relays have very different characteristics that require a different testing philosophy to ensure that they will operate when required. The Relay Testing Handbook: Creating and Implementing Test Plans outlines step-by-step procedures that will enable you to create and implement protective relay test plans for modern relay systems, ensuring accurate and efficient relay testing for nearly every application. Use the information in this book to: Collect and compare drawings, settings, and engineering studies to evaluate the application Compare all of the available documentation to the manufacturer's literature Prepare to test the relay by correctly isolating it from the rest of the system Establish communication with the relay and apply the settings Properly connect your test-set to the relay Perform acceptance tests Design your test plan using conventional test techniques, or implement more efficient and effective ones Implement your test plan or apply common test plans for feeder, generator, or line protection Prepare your report and test sheets This book is included in the hardcover book The Relay Testing Handbook: Principles and Practice, or it can be ordered by itself as a soft-cover book, Adobe Acrobat PDF digital download, or both.

The Relay Protection of High Voltage Networks presents the theoretical aspects of relay protection of high-voltage electrical networks. This book covers a variety of topics, including sequence networks for complex asymmetrical states, vector locus method, theories of symmetrical component filters, and power directional devices. Organized into 10 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the use of sequence networks. This text then examines the relay protection of high-voltage networks with three-phase and single-phase tripping. Other chapters consider the principles of auxiliary devices, which serve for the selection of the faulty phase and for preventing the incorrect operation of protective gear during swings and for faulty conditions in the secondary windings of voltage transformers. The final chapter deals with the stability of parallel working of power stations in a system. This book is a valuable resource for engineers, student, research workers, and readers specializing in the field of relay protection.

This package provides an overview of End-to-End testing and answers the most common questions a relay tester should ask before performing their first End-to-End test.
