Protection Co-ordination Studies

We analyse how protection devices operate across your network to ensure faults are cleared quickly, selectively, and in the correct sequence. This maintains system safety, reliability, and continuity of supply when faults occur. 

When?  

Protection studies are a legal and insurance requirement in the UK, demonstrating that faults are cleared within safe time limits to protect both personnel and equipment. They should be reviewed during system design, after any network modification or incident, and periodically — typically every 3–5 years — to confirm settings remain effective and compliant.  

Benefits  

A Protection Co-ordination Study helps you: 

• Ensure protection devices operate in the correct order for any fault scenario. 

• Minimise unnecessary outages and equipment stress. 

• Maintain compliance with industry and insurer requirements. 

• Strengthen operational reliability and confidence across your network.
