What is ProTesT
TM
ProTesT is a software system for protective relay testing and equipment maintenance. It includes
the F6000 Control Panel (Version 2) for manual control of the instrument. It also combines
automatic control of the F6300 instrument with the functions of a client server database.
ProTesT uses test templates called macros to automate tests on protection scheme relays. The
ProTesT database also documents relay settings, test conditions, and test history.
Figure 1.4
illustrates how the ProTesT software interacts with the F6150, F6300, and with the relay under
test.
