Seeking Opinions on GE Training CD on Prot. Relaying. 1

[AJ2002]

Has anyone used the Learning CD from the GE Multilin web site? The CD is titled FUNDAMENTALS OF MODERN PROTECTIVE RELAYS. There is a demo on the web site.

Is there someone has used it and has an opinion? Did you get it for a less than $1200 a copy?

Thank you.

AJ2002,

I used the disk a while ago, so here is my comments from memory. The training CD is good if you are new to protective relaying and need to learn quickly. However, I believe getting books such as Blackburns' "Protective Relaying - Principles & Applications" is jsut as good as the CD and MUCH cheaper.

slavag,

Thanks for remembering the FAQ about references. I thought about them, but couldn't remember where they were.

"The art and science of protective relaying" is a pretty good reference for older relay types, I think it is a free download from GE.
