The current amplifier has power to test high-burden electromechanical relays. Concurrently, the F6150 provides up to 12 sources to test solid-state and multifunction numerical protection. It can test not only simple voltage, current, and frequency relays but also complex protection schemes, such as communication-assisted line protection.
