Power System Relaying and Control Committee
Develop, recommend and establish standards on protective relaying practices which are compatible with the electrical environment, including but, not limited to; relay withstand capabilities to electromagnetic interference, characteristics and performance of instrument transformers, testing procedures, applications, performance criteria, and definitions of relays and relay systems. Evaluate and report on pertinent aspects of protective relaying not addressed by other PSRC Subcommittees. Maintain applicable protective relaying standards.
