Yeah, they're definitely protective of their IP which was why I was hesitant to make this video in the first place. But they said I could in writing and I'm happy to share!
I have been watching few of your videos from your channel, and they really made me want to change my career. So my question is how do we become a Testing Technician. I forgot to mention I am working as a PLC/ Electrical Equipment Technician.
The easy way to start is to call up your local testing companies (you can search for them at netaworld.org) and see if they're hiring. Often guys with little or no experience can start in a breaker shop or motor shop and work their way out into the field, but PLC work is a pretty good background to slide right into real testing. Since it mostly requires on-the-job training anyway, no formal education is usually required. Just depends on what the company you're interviewing with is looking for. Positions open up all the time so it doesn't hurt to check back often. A lot of them even have remote positions open if you're willing to travel.
I'm actually entirely self-taught on PS and rather dislike using RTS. Nothing wrong with it when it works I just never needed to use it and I'm really quick with PS. I also haven't worked at EPS since 2018.
Would you be willing to put out some videos on setting up some 50/51 tests using protection suite? Possibly using EM relays and SEL? I am new to protection relaying and my company uses Doble. After maybe some 21 and 87 relay test setups with the same?
Yes, that's exactly the plan! The next video coming up is testing a GE IAC with Protection Suite, I've got a Basler and couple SELs after that. It just takes me a long time to edit and post these. I'm a busy guy, not a professional TH-camr or editor lol.
Totally understand thanks so much. I’ve been working at a utility company in the north east doing telecommunications and just a year ago, got hired into the field engineering test department. Totally different animal over here but of all the things the department does I love the relay work. Super cool. Thanks for your help do you have any good sources I should look into. Your videos are awesome.
Great video, not much out there showcasing Doble

@@testingtechtips I always found distance relays a hard one to get around on Doble.
@@50Hz I have a video for that planned! It's going to take a bit to shoot, edit, and upload but it's coming I promise!

Thanks for the Info
Hi! I was wondering if you would be willing to make a video on how to create a test file from a Schweitzer RSS file?
Have you ever gone to some of the Doble protection conferences? If you ever find yourself using Doble RTS, let me know.
Nvm, I see your registered with EPS/CFR
