= Fault voltage chosen for faulted phase, in this example 30 volts
The current required to trip = 4.00A +/- 5 % for fault current lagging fault voltage by 75
°
. This is
the maximum torque angle test. For other points on the MHO circle, change X to a value be-
tween 0
°
and 150
°
, and calculate the value of I.
With the system under test connected as shown in Figure 5-4 and with the settings from Table
5-1 (5-2 for REL 302) applied to the system, adjust the voltages as follows:

Apply current to the A phase current input as shown. The current required to trip is 4.00 amps
±
5% at an angle of 75
°
lagging the fault voltage. This is the “maximum torque angle” test.
When the relay trips, remove the fault current. Zone 1 and AG LED’s will light. The LCD display
will indicate the fault distance. Using the RAISE and LOWER push-buttons the complete fault
record can be reviewed. See Table 4-3 for a description of the displayed fault data quantities.
The significant quantities to review are:
Fault Type – “FLT Type” “AG”
Targets – “Zone1G” “Yes”
Fault Voltages (VA, VB, VC, 3V0 and Currents (IA, IB, IC, IP)
All trip associated contact outputs, should be monitored as a part of this test. Connect appropri-
ate monitoring equipment to the “dry” contact outputs to be monitored. See Figures 4-1, 4-2 and
4-3 for contact output connection. Additionally, with an external jumper connected between
TB1-1 (S
YST
T
EST
) and FT-5 (B
FI
/R
I
E
NA
), the following can be observed:
1.
Breaker failure initiate (BFI)
BFIA-1 and BFIA-2 are closed as long as the fault is applied
after the trip decision is made. BFI contacts “follow” the trip contacts.
2.
General Start (
GS) contact will pick-up for approximately 50 ms immediately after the fault
is applied.
3.
Trip alarm (Trip alarm
, AL-2), relay will pick-up and remain picked up as long as the fault is
applied, after the trip decision is made. The
AL-2 contact “follows” the trip contacts. After
the fault has been removed, AL-2 will remain picked up since the “Trip Alarm” is set to Seal-
in. Alarm 2 can then be reset by pushing the R
ESET
push-button.
4.
Reclosing Initiation (RI) contacts
RI-1 and RI-2 will not operate since the setting “RI type”
is “No RI”. Change “RI Type” to “ØG RI” and re-apply the fault current.
RI-1 and RI-2
should pick-up for approximately 400 ms (after the trip decision has been made).
Repeat the A phase-to-ground fault test and measure the trip time, which should be less than 2
cycles.
