Connect the test circuit
The following tests require an injection test set, able to feed the relays with one or two
currents variable in phase and magnitude.
If only one current is available:
As shown in Figure 7, this method will be used for a distributed solution when only one

FIGURE 7: CONNECTION FOR BIAS CHARACTERISTIC TESTING
An increasing current I

is injected into a phase (and neutral) of the PU1 which is used as
differential and bias current.

K2 : Zone percentage bias, Characteristic limit: I
diff
= ID>2
KCZ : Check Zone percentage bias, Characteristic limit: I
diff
= IDCZ>2
In this case, we increase I
2
from 0 to A then B point until the differential element operates:
KCZ : Check Zone percentage bias, Characteristic limit: I
diff
= IDCZ>2, point A
K2 : Zone percentage bias, Characteristic limit: I
diff
= ID>2, point B
