b) TEST FOR ZERO DIFFERENTIAL CURRENT
1. Inject the following currents into the relay:
2. These are determined as follows:
(EQ 9.7)
From the Current Distribution diagram above, there is a secondary current for HV
phases B and C, and a secondary current for LV phases b and c.
3. The relay should display the following differential and restraint currents and the element should not operate:
c) MINIMUM PICKUP TEST
Reduce the restraint current I
r
to a value lower than 0.67 pu (the restraint corresponding to the intersection of Slope 1 and
the pickup). This is obtained from , where 0.1 is the differential setting of minimum pickup, and
0.15 is the setting of Slope 1. Note that
(EQ 9.8)
where I
ri
is an intersection of Minimum PKP and Slope 1 calculated as PKP/Slope 1 value.
4. Change the current magnitude as follows:
5. The following differential and restraint current should be read from the T35 actual values menu:
The relay will not operate since I
d
is still lower that the 0.1 pu MINIMUM PICKUP setting.
6. Increase I
1
to 0.2 A. The differential current increases to and .
7. Verify that the Percent Differential element operates and the following are displayed in the actual values menu:
