Step 3.
Purpose: Select a test point on the percentage differential curve in Figure 10.7.
Method: Decide where you want to cross the differential characteristic by picking a
restraint value IRT, which is a vertical line on the graph. Because this test
is for the SLP1 threshold, select a point above the O87P intersection point
and below IRS1. If SLP2 = OFF, IRS1 and SLP2 are not functional.

Both IRT and IOP are in multiples of tap.
Step 4.
Purpose: Calculate the expected current for Windings 1 and 2 at the restrained
differential element SLP1 threshold for the test point selected above.

The A connection compensation constant is based on
Table 10.3.
Because the windings have the same W
n
CTC setting, the A constant will
be the same for both windings. The A constant must be used to achieve
the exact curve point on which we have based the calculations. The

settings can be different for the two windings.
