Abstract:As a new maintenance technology,the condition - based maintenance is developing gradually in secondary equipment of power system. On the basis of the researches about the present situation and the technical difficulties,the key technologies to achieve the condition - based maintenance of relay protection are proposed,which solves the problems of condition monitoring for secondary circuit. The basic structure and functions of the condition - based maintenance system of relay protection are analyzed,which provides a reference for the implementation of condition - based maintenance of relay protection.
