Core Services
Testing, commissioning, and maintenance across your power system.
From protective relays and switchgear to transformers, medium-voltage cable, and drives — we test, commission, and troubleshoot the equipment that keeps your facility energized and protected.
Why NewEra
Protection and control services you can trust.
Relay settings verification
01
Standards-Driven, Fully Documented
Every job follows ANSI, NETA, IEEE, and IEC standards and closes with detailed technical documentation and verified relay performance.
02
Beyond Protection Function Verification
We validate IEC 61850 GOOSE messaging, time synchronization, and communication architecture — not just pickup and timing.
03
Safety Is Foundational
OSHA 10-trained field teams work to NFPA 70 and MSHA requirements, with arc flash awareness, proper PPE, and continuous safety training.
04
Fast, Hands-On Field Response
Routine commissioning or emergency field validation — a field service technician is dispatched on request, with fast turnaround on results.
Protection & Controls
Protecting power systems, one relay at a time.
Protection relay programming, logic verification, and comprehensive three-phase secondary injection testing across overcurrent, differential, and distance functions. Relay settings are applied and verified exactly as issued by the engineer of record or client.

Relay & Logic Programming
Settings and protection logic programmed exactly as issued by the engineer of record or client, then verified against the settings sheet before energization.
Secondary Injection Testing
Three-phase injection proves pickup, timing, slope, and reach for overcurrent, differential, and distance elements.
IEC 61850 & GOOSE Validation
GOOSE messaging integrity, protocol-level diagnostics, and communication architecture assessment for IEC 61850 substation networks.
Time Synchronization Validation
Time sources and relay clocks verified so event records align across the system — essential for accurate fault analysis.
Fault Event Analysis
Relay event records and oscillography reviewed to explain operations, isolate root cause, and confirm protection responded as set.
Asset Protection Verification
Transformer, generator, and motor protection schemes verified — from stator faults and loss of field to overloads and stalling.
Testing & Commissioning
Acceptance and maintenance tests, matched to the equipment.
Tests are selected for the equipment, its condition, and its role in the system, then performed to ANSI/NETA ATS or MTS.

Standards & Methodology
Standards-driven testing. Every test. Every time.
Every job is performed in accordance with ANSI, NETA, IEEE, and IEC standards, following a defined sequence from scope review to documented results.
How every job runs
01
Scope & Review
We review drawings, one-lines, and the settings issued by the engineer of record or client before mobilizing.
02
Safe Mobilization
Job briefing, hazard awareness, arc flash precautions, and proper PPE are in place before any test begins.
03
Test & Verify
Relay settings are applied and verified; equipment is tested against ANSI/NETA and manufacturer acceptance criteria.
04
System Validation
Trip circuits, IEC 61850 GOOSE messaging, and time synchronization are validated as one working system.
05
Document & Deliver
Detailed technical documentation records results, as-left settings, and deficiencies — ready for your records and the next test cycle.
