Systems and methods for automatically configuring point-on-wave settings in a relay device

A control system, comprising at least:

• a switch device, comprising:
• an armature configured to move between a first position that electrically couples a first contact to a second contact and a second position that electrically uncouples the first contact from the second contact;
• a coil configured to receive a voltage configured to magnetize the coil, thereby causing the armature to move from the first position to the second position;
• and
• a control system configured to:
• receive a first dataset associated with a type of a load device coupled to the switch device;
• determine a switching profile to control moving the armature between the first position and the second position based on the first dataset, wherein the switching profile comprises a firing angle for moving the armature with respect to an electrical waveform;
• adjust the voltage provided to the coil to identify sensitivity data associated with protection equipment that corresponds to the load device;
• and
• adjust the switching profile based on the sensitivity data;
• and
• control the voltage provided to the coil based on the adjusted switching profile.
