phase polarizing voltage. This measurement is greatly simplified if the polarizing reference voltage is set to 0°
and the current phase angle is measured with respect to this reference.
Alternatively, the instrument can be checked at the 4 points marked a, b, c & d on Figure 9-4 only.

phase-phase operate voltage.

Ensure that at least 1 Phase Overcurrent element is set to Directional. Apply balanced nominal
voltage. Apply current at a level above the 50/51 setting on phase A only at the characteristic angle for
forward operation, normally 45° lagging. Ensure no Directional Phase Overcurrent element opera-
tion occurs. Note that non-directional Phase Overcurrent and non-direction Earth Fault elements may
operate unless disabled.
Repeat the test with phase A current as above but also with equal current in the B phase at 180° to that in the
A phase.
