Test protection relays and breaker trip signals at oil and gas sites, using event records, plant logs, and approved relay settings.

Protection Relay Technicians check devices that tell breakers to cut power during faults. The work covers relay testing, signal paths, settings, and records. Technicians may support protection and control teams, helping distinguish faults from bad signals or equipment setup changes.

Key Responsibilities:

- Test relays against project-approved settings
- Check signal paths from relays to breakers
- Read relay event records and compare plant logs
- Record settings and explain breaker openings
- Report differences between expected and tested results

Requirements:

- Electrical or electronics training can help
- Ability to read power drawings
- Ability to read relay event files
- Ability to use relay test equipment
- Explicit, accurate technical recordkeeping

Apply protection relay testing, event analysis, and precise documentation to oil and gas power system work.
