About RAI/ECI

Mission
Electric power system protection includes design, installation, integration, maintenance, and operation analysis of protective relays and their peripherals. RAI focuses on providing the services, engineering tools, and systems for their customers to accomplish these tasks simply and efficiently.

Value
RAI incorporates proven protection practices with innovative solutions for engineers, operators, managers, linemen, technicians, and other customers.

Our applications and analyses can provide improved protection while reducing expenses, and increasing protection availability. We focus on successfully applying the protective relaying technology available in today’s microprocessor-based relays, and have done so in a diverse spectrum of projects.

Customers
RAI has assisted large and small utilities, industrial plants, construction companies, system integrators, contractors, consultants, and electric transmission companies.

The project relationship may range from on-call consultant to a complete protection and integration project manager. Past projects have included all phases, from specification through commissioning and training.
