Digital protective relay in power system play a prominent part. Simulators for the relay test were introduced in early 1980's. A number of open loop designs have been developed and recently, several developments of real-time simulators have been reported. But they are very high cost. And then they are difficult to apply for relay testing in small business. This paper presents the structure of low cost and performance of a new pc based tester for digital protective relay testing. The proposed tester was simulated of off-line with fault transient signals obtained from EMTP.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) testing for human body model tests is an essential part of the reliability evaluation of electronic/electrical devices and components. However, global environmental concerns have called for the need to replace the mercury-wetted relay switches, which have been used in ESD testers. Therefore, herein, we propose an ESD tester using metal oxide semiconductor-controlled thyristor (MCT) devices with a significantly higher rising rate of anode current (di/dt) characteristics. These MCTs, which have a breakdown voltage beyond 3000 V, were developed through an in-house foundry. As a replacement for the existing mercury relays, the proposed ESD tester with the developed MCT satisfies all the requirements stipulated in the JS-001 standard for conditions at or below 2000 V. Moreover, unlike traditional relays, the proposed ESD tester does not generate resonance; therefore, no additional circuitry is required for resonant removal. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed ESD tester is the first study to meet the JS-001 specification by applying a new switch instead of an existing mercury-wetted relay.

We made ESD tester to measure ESD threshold voltage of semiconductor devices. The HBM ESD test is the most popular method to measure the ESD threshold voltage of MMSIC. We use flyback method which is one of the DC-DC converter to get high ESD voltage. With flvback method, we can isolate the 1ow voltage part from the high voltage part of HBM ESD tester. We use an air gap of the relay which is used for switch to satisfy the rise time of ESD standard(MIL-STD). As a result, with the flyback method and the air gap of relay, we can make ESD tester whose parasitic components are minimized.

Recently, several developments of real-time simulators have been reported. But they are very high cost. And then they are difficult to apply for relay testing in small business. This paper presents the structure and performance of a new pc based, low cost, tester to digital protection relays. Fault transients are generated either by simulating signals using EMTP or by recorded fault signals.

In this papers, We studied system requirement specification, hardware design and implementation, protective algorithm and software design method to implement digital protective relay which has high trust and high function of protection as well as control and metering for power transformers. Protective relay for transformer is implemented on real time using DSP, which is the specific processor for digital signal processing, as a result, it is completed by the wide improvement of arithmetic capability of protective relay. Reliability is proved testing operating value and operating time, reset value and reset time of an relaying element using protective relay tester made in NF Corporation of Japan.
