To verify the mho characteristic, at least two points should be tested.
In the following, three test points are proposed. The mho characteristic always goes
through the origin, which automatically gives a fourth point for the characteristic.

R 0,5·ZPP - ΔR = 0,5·ZPP(1-cos(ZAngPP))
Change the magnitude and angle of phase-to-phase voltage to achieve impedances
at test points 1, 2 and 3. For each test point, observe that the output signals,
ST
ART, STLx and STPP are activated where x refers to the actual phase to be
tested. After the timer tPP for the actual zone has elapsed, also the signals TRIP,
TRPP and TRx shall be activated.
11.4.3.2 Phase-to-earth faults
M14944-393 v7
For simplicity, the same test points as for phase-to-phase faults are proposed, but
considering new impedance values.
