FERC OKs NERC Standard on Protection Systems
FERC approved a revised reliability standard proposed by NERC that requires testing and maintenance of auto-reclosing relays.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission last week approved a revised reliability standard, PRC-005-3 (Protection System and Automatic Reclosing Maintenance). The standard proposed by the North American Electric Reliability Corp. requires testing and maintenance of auto-reclosing relays and includes one new definition and six revised definitions (RM14-8). FERC required NERC to modify the standard to include maintenance and testing of supervisory relays.
