8.3 PHASE CURRENT ACCURACY
Any phase current protection is based on the ability of the 239 to read phase input currents accu-
rately to ±2% of full scale. Perform the steps below to test the phase current accuracy.
1. Alter the following setpoint.
66<67(06(783?&7,13876?3+$6(&735,0$5<$
2. To determine if the relay is reading the proper input current values, inject phase currents shown
in the table below, view the readings in
$0(7(5, 1*?&85 5(1 7, and verify with the expected read-
ings stated in the table.
3. Alter the setup to inject current into the 1 A input of each phase and repeat the above step with
current settings shown in the table below.
