1. Set the polarizing voltage to 1.2 · UNRel> and the phase angle between
voltage and current to the set characteristic angle (RCADir), the current
lagging the voltage.
2. Measure that the operate power is equal to the SN> setting for the set
directional element.
Note that for operation, both the injected current and voltage must be greater
than the set values INRel> and UNRel> respectively.
The function activates the START and STDIRIN outputs.

4. Compare the result with the set value. Take the set characteristic into
consideration, see figure 
94 and figure 95.
5. Measure the operate time of the timer by injecting 1.2 · UNRel> and a current
to get two times the set SN> operate value.
