This article describes designing and using a series of field tests (such as pick-up test and operating characteristics) aimed at ascertaining the correct operation of relays' electromechanical protection. The characteristic elements involved in adjusting electromechanical protection relays are presented.

En este artículo se establece el diseño y la ejecución de una serie de pruebas de campo, como la prueba de pick-up, característica de operación entre otras que, de acuerdo con la función de protección evaluada, permiten verificar el correcto funcionamiento de los relés de protección electromecánicos. Además se presentan los diferentes elementos característicos de ajuste en los relés de protección electromecánicos.
