Conclusions
• Electromechanical relay schemes
• Provide adequate protection
• Lack monitoring and recording features now required
• Achievement of new monitoring and recording requirements
• Relay replacement not necessary
• Instead, consider Bitronics 70 Series monitoring and recording IED
• Meets new requirements
• Significant cost savings
• Four major areas for achieving requirements
• Part 1 Fault analysis and recording
