The tests verify the operation and no-operation response for points from all regions of the percentage differential
characteristic. These tests are:
• Test for zero differential current
• Minimum pickup
•Slope 1
• The region between Slope 1 and Slope 2
•Slope 2
Relay configuration
The AC Inputs and Source are configured as follows.

8.2.2.2 Test for zero differential current
1. Inject the following currents into the relay.
2. These are determined as follows.
Eq. 8-7
From the Current Distribution diagram earlier, there is a 0.866 pu x 100.4 A/200 = 0.434 A secondary current for HV
phases B and C, and a 0.866 pu x 925.98 A/1000 = 0.8 A secondary current for LV phases b and c.
