NERC PRC-005-06 Compliant Solutions

The NERC PRC-005-06 standard outlines mandatory maintenance and testing requirements for protection systems, including the stationary DC supply. Eagle Eye Power Solutions supports utilities, substations, and critical power operators in meeting these compliance obligations through industry-leading monitoring and testing solutions.

What is NERC PRC-005-06?

PRC-005-06 defines the minimum maintenance activities and intervals for Protection System components. These include:

• Stationary batteries and battery chargers
• Control circuitry
• DC supply systems
• Monitoring and alarming devices

To remain compliant, asset owners must document and demonstrate that their protection systems will operate as intended, which includes performing periodic testing, inspections, and performance checks of battery systems that power critical protective relays and control systems.

Our Solutions Support PRC-005-06 Compliance By:

• Automating Battery Testing & Monitoring
  Gain continuous visibility into battery health, voltage, internal resistance, and temperature—critical parameters required by PRC-005-06.
• Verifying Charger Operation & DC System Availability
  Ensure your charger is properly operating and that your DC supply remains uninterrupted during critical moments.
• Providing Accurate Time-Stamped Data & Reports
  Document proof of maintenance activities and battery performance, simplifying audit prep and reducing manual recordkeeping.
• Detecting Abnormal Conditions Automatically
  With real-time alarms for low electrolyte levels, open circuits, and ground faults, our systems alert your team before failures occur.
• Supporting Defined Maintenance Intervals
  Our solutions help define maintenance intervals based on condition-based testing—meeting or exceeding NERC’s performance-based program criteria.
• Get Trained On NERC Battery Maintenance for Utilities
