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. Since this test is
for the SLP2 threshold, select a point above the IRS1 setting.

Both IRT and IOP are in multiples of tap.
Step 4.
Purpose: Calculate the expected current for Winding 1 and 2 at the restrained
differential element SLP2 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 TAP
n
settings can be different for the two windings.

. If any currents in
this test will exceed this rating, reduce the TAP

values as needed, to
prevent possible damage to the input circuits.
Step 5.
Purpose: Calculate the initial current for Winding 2 for this test.
Method: Calculate the Winding 2 initial current by multiplying the Winding 2
expected current calculated above by 110 percent.
IAW2 (initial) = 1.1 • IAW2 (from Step 4)
