Computer-implemented method for configuring an electronic relay

A computer storage medium comprising:

• a set of instructions structured to be executed by a processing resource effective to:
• operate an electronic relay and a switching device, the switching device being structured to selectively connect a first live electric circuit and a second live electric circuit,
• provide a graphic user interface on a computer display, said graphic user interface including graphic resources activatable by a user,
• provide first graphic resources on said graphic user interface to assist a user in providing first configuration values (CF1) to configure first operating parameters related to operation of at least one of said first and second live electric circuits, said first operating parameters being processed by said electronic relay to provide said synchro-reclosing functionalities,
• provide second graphic resources on said graphic user interface to assist a user in providing second configuration values (CF2) to configure second operating parameters related to first operating conditions requested to said first and second live electric circuits to enable a re-connection between said first and second live electric circuits following a disconnection between said first and second live electric circuits, said second operating parameters being processed by said electronic relay to provide said synchro-reclosing functionalities,
• check whether said electronic relay meets minimum operating requirements to operate, and
• if said electronic relay meets said minimum operating requirements, transmit configuration information including at least said first and second configuration values (CF1 and CF2) to said electronic relay.
