本指南涵盖了电力系统保护方案测试的建议测试要求、系统应用测试、基于应用的测试范围和级别，以及整体保护方案测试的好处。本指南涵盖了整个系统测试程序（发电机、线路、线路电抗器、变压器、电容器、特殊保护方案、端到端测试、变电站内的分布式应用等）、数据收集要求以及测试程序定义。本指南描述了各种电压水平下保护应用系统测试的方法、范围和类型。包括保护系统固有的控制功能。还包括线路测试、间接跳闸应用和开/闭环测试（动态/非线性测试）的重要性。

This guide covers suggested test requirements for Power System Protection Scheme Testing, System Application Tests, the scope and level of tests based on the application, and benefits of the overall protective schemes testing. This guide encompasses overall system testing procedures (generators, line, line reactors, transformer, capacitors, Special protection schemes, end-to-end testing, distributed application within substation, etc.), data collection requirements, as well as the test procedure definitions. The Guide describes the methods, extent, and types of system tests for protection applications, at various voltage levels. Control functions which are inherent to the protective systems are included. Importance of line testing, indirect trip applications, and open / closed loop tests (dynamic / non-linear tests) are also covered.
