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: Understanding Digital Logic explains the different forms of relay logic used in modern microprocessor based relays. Each type of relay logic is described in detail with practical examples to demonstrate how relay manufacturers use common relay logic principles applied with different style interfaces such as: Individual element schemes (General Electric SR and Beckwith Electric Company relays) Binary relays (Alstom and Siemens relays) Arithmetic (math) schemes (Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories relays) Logic schemes (General Electric UR relays) Use the practical examples outlined in this volume to help you: Understand and use logic gates such as AND, OR, NOT, NOR, NAND, and moreUse logic comparators and timersConvert relay settings from one logic format to anotherConvert logic schemes into DC schematics to help understand and commission logic systemsUnderstand the protective relay logic used in nearly every in-service relay today 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.

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 vast majority of automatic controllers used to compensate industrial processes are PI or PID type. This book comprehensively compiles, using a unified notation, tuning rules for these controllers proposed from 1935 to 2008. The tuning rules are carefully categorized and application information about each rule is given. The book discusses controller architecture and process modeling issues, as well as the performance and robustness of loops compensated with PI or PID controllers. This unique publication brings together in an easy-to-use format material previously published in a large number of papers and books.This wholly revised third edition extends the presentation of PI and PID controller tuning rules, for single variable processes with time delays, to include additional rules compiled since the second edition was published in 2006./a
