It is a general perception that power subjects are concerned with the study of high-voltage, high-current components, such as large machines and high voltage transmission lines. But that is a narrow-minded view. The subject of modern protection, for example, is interdisciplinary by nature. This article describes courses and personal computer (PC) based facilities that are available at the University of Saskatchewan, with a focus on research and teaching in the area of power system protection. Experience with the use of the laboratory facilities is encouraging and shows enhancements to the quality of teaching and research. Resources include design, development, implementation, and testing facilities. The facilities are used for research projects, undergraduate design projects, and teaching of protection-related courses. Various stages in the design and implementation of microprocessor-based relays on PCs are featured.
