Our commissioning capability includes the delivery of advanced protection scheme commissioning and relay testing, ensuring that all protection systems operate correctly, selectively and in accordance with network and client requirements. Our engineers undertake primary injection testing for critical protection schemes, including transformer differential and line differential protection, to validate correct operation under simulated fault conditions. This includes slope testing of transformer differential characteristics, verification of restraint and operate settings, and confirmation of correct CT polarity, ratio and stability. We also carry out a full suite of primary and secondary testing, including current transformer (CT) and voltage transformer (VT) testing, magnetisation and ratio testing, burden checks and polarity verification, supported by the use of CT analysers and specialist test equipment. Commissioning activities are delivered in a controlled and structured manner, with detailed test plans, ITP checklists and full documentation provided to support safe energisation and final handover into service. We work closely with clients, OEMs and network operators to ensure systems are fully integrated, compliant and operational.
