Ice test system and methods

A method for a test system for relay connection and testing of a power transmission and distribution grid, comprising:

• providing a fixed connection block connected to the power transmission and distribution grid;
• and
• providing a mobile plug which connects the fixed connection block or a mobile test block with a relay when the mobile plug is inserted into the fixed connection block or the mobile test block,
• wherein the mobile test block provides a connection to an external relay testing device when the mobile test plug is inserted into the mobile test block,
• wherein the fixed connection block provides internal shorting that is activated when the mobile plug is not inserted into the fixed connection block and is deactivated when the mobile plug is inserted into the fixed connection block, and
• wherein the fixed connection block, mobile plug, and the mobile test block provides an interaction between a power transmission and distribution grid side and a relay side when the mobile plug is inserted into the fixed connection block.

A method for fixing an improperly functioning relay of a power transmission and distribution grid, comprising:

• providing a replacement relay which is properly configured;
• providing a fixed connection block connected to the power transmission and distribution grid;
• providing a plug which connects the fixed connection block and an original relay when the mobile plug is inserted into the fixed connection block, and
• testing the original relay and when it is not functioning correctly, replacing the original relay with the replacement relay,
• wherein the fixed connection block provides internal shorting that is activated when the mobile plug is not inserted into the fixed connection block and is deactivated when the mobile plug is inserted into the fixed connection block, and
• wherein the fixed connection block and mobile plug provides an interaction between a power transmission and distribution grid side and a relay side when the mobile plug is inserted into the fixed connection block.
