3. When test setup is correct, the relay displays the following differential and restraint currents, and the element does
not operate.
8.2.2.3 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 I
r
= 0.1/0.15 = 0.67 pu, where 0.1 is the differential setting of minimum pickup, and 0.15 is
the setting of Slope 1. Note that
0 < I
r
<I
ri
Eq. 8-8
where I
ri
is an intersection of Minimum PKP and Slope 1 calculated as PKP/Slope 1 value.
1. Change the current magnitude as follows.
2. Read the following differential and restraint current values from the T35 actual values menu.
The relay does not operate since I
d
is still lower that the 0.1 pu MINIMUM PICKUP setting.
3. Increase I
1
to 0.2 A. The differential current increases to I
d
= 0.136 pu > Min PKP and I
r
< 0.67 pu.
4. Verify that the Percent Differential element operates and the following are displayed in the actual values menu.
8.2.2.4 Slope 1 test
Inject current in such a manner that the magnitude of I
r
is larger than the restraint current of 0.67 pu, corresponding to the
intersection of the minimum PKP and Slope 1 and smaller than the Breakpoint 1 setting; that is,
I
r
(intersection of Min PKP and Slope 1) < I
r
(actual) < I
r
(Break 1) Eq. 8-9
