Automated digitized system and methods for verifying power relay disconnect

A method for testing whether power relays are operable, comprising the steps of:

• providing two lines arranged in parallel between two voltage sources to allow for bi-directional current flow between the two voltage sources;
• providing two relays connected in series on each line;
• providing a test line arranged between the two relays on each line;
• providing a test circuit directly connected to the test lines;
• closing each relay individually in series, while setting the remaining relays to remain open;
• operating the voltage source nearest to the closed relay;
• observing the output of the test circuit;
• generating a report that indicates whether each relay is operable;
• closing the relays that are nearest to a given voltage source, while setting the relays nearest the other voltage source to remain open;
• and
• operating both voltage sources.
