3. In this example, a ratio of I
d
/I
r
> 38% causes the element to trip. Decreasing I
1
as shown in the table increases the
differential current I
d
, causing the element to operate.
4. Read the following differential and restraint current values from the T35 actual values menu.
8.2.2.6 Slope 2 test
Inject currents in such a manner that the magnitude of I
r
is larger than the restraint current at Breakpoint 2; that is,
I
r
> I
r
(Break 2) = 8 pu Eq. 8-11
1. Change the current magnitudes as follows.
2. Read the following differential and restraint current values from the T35 actual values menu.
Since I
d
/I
r
= 89.8% and lower than the required 95%, the Percent Differential element does not operate.
3. Adjust the I
1
current as follows (thereby increasing I
d
) and verify that the relay operates.
Due to the mathematical complexity involved in shaping the curve between Breakpoint 1 and Breakpoint 2, an
Excel-based simulation tool is available from the GE Grid Solutions website (look for the T35/T60 Percent Differential
Element Simulator in the support documents for the product). With this tool, you can see the preset I
d
/I
r
curve point
ratios and the actual I
d
/I
r
ratio as per the entered test currents. The tool graphically indicates differential and
restraint current magnitudes and indicates whether the relay operates.
