Testing protection systems in the real world is a difficult task due to various challenges and situations that you might encounter. Those range from testing for commissioning or maintenance during a shutdown to testing and performing functional checks on equipment in a substation while it is energized. Do you have the substation one-line drawings, or do you have to figure out the connections yourselves? Are you testing a microprocessor relay or an electromechanical relay? Is the substation main locked out and tagged out so that testing can be performed safely?
