Note that the operate time may be subject to the Minimum op time setting for the element and/or may have a
Follower DTL applied.
If VTS action is set to BLOCK, this option should be tested. Apply balanced voltage and current. Reduce a-phase
voltage to cause a VTS condition. Increase a-phase current and check that the element does not operate.
If VTS action is set to Non-Directional, this option should be tested. Apply balanced voltage and current. Reduce
a-phase voltage to cause a VTS condition. Increase a-phase current and check that the element operates at its
normal setting. Reverse the voltage phase direction whilst checking that the element does not reset.
2.6.3.1 Element Blocking
T
he Measure
d Earth Fault elements can be blocked by Binary Input Inhibit, VT Supervision and Inrush Detector
operation. The Characteristic can be made non-directional by VT Supervision. This functionality should be
checked.
