Protection Database

A dedicated software platform for centralised management of protection relay settings, coordination records, injection test reports and relay asset tracking across your site or fleet.

The Challenge

Protection engineering data — relay settings, coordination studies, injection test reports, maintenance records — is critical for electrical safety and compliance. But across most mining and industrial operations, this data lives in scattered files, email threads and individual engineers’ folders. When a protection incident occurs or an audit is due, finding the right settings file or test report becomes a time-consuming exercise with real safety implications.

The Platform

The JMB Engineering Protection Database is a purpose-built web platform that provides a single, authoritative record of all protection engineering data across your electrical network. Designed by protection engineers who work with this data every day, it brings structure, traceability and accessibility to one of the most critical areas of electrical safety management.

Key Features

• Relay asset register — Complete inventory of all protection relays by location, type, manufacturer, firmware version and associated equipment
• Settings management — Current and historical relay settings stored against each device with full version control and change tracking
• Coordination records — Protection coordination studies, grading curves and time-current characteristic plots linked to the relevant network sections
• Injection test reports — All primary and secondary injection test results stored digitally with pass/fail status, test dates and next-due tracking
• Maintenance records — Maintenance testing reports, condition assessments and service histories against each relay
• Compliance tracking — Automated tracking of test due dates, overdue items and upcoming maintenance with dashboard alerts
• Document linking — Attach settings files, relay configuration files, test certificates and protection study reports directly to assets
• Search and lookup — Fast lookup of any relay, setting or test report by site, substation, feeder or relay type
• Audit trail — Full audit trail of all changes, uploads and setting modifications for regulatory compliance

Built for Protection Engineers

The Protection Database is designed around the workflows of protection engineers and electrical engineering managers. Whether you’re commissioning new relays, reviewing settings after a fault event, preparing for an audit or managing a fleet-wide relay firmware upgrade — the platform puts the data you need at your fingertips.

Who It’s For

• Protection engineers managing relay settings across multiple sites
• Electrical Engineering Managers responsible for protection compliance
• Commissioning teams recording injection test results in the field
• Maintenance planners tracking protection relay service schedules
• Operations teams needing quick access to current protection settings
