The time delay can be verified with a watch as the delay is normally set in minutes.
c) Aging Factor Limit
The Aging Factor value is also a function of load, ambient temperature, and
transformer ratings. Apply a current to Winding 1 Phase A to represent at least a
100% transformer load. Use the

want to increase the simulated load or the simulated or programmed ambient
temperature to cause a faster increase.

operating level, the element should
operate. Verify all programmed relay operations as per FlexLogic™ settings. Verify
that all the targets and messages are as expected and programmed.
The time delay can be verified with a watch as the delay is normally set in minutes.
d) Loss of Life Limit
Typical settings for the Loss-of-Life Limit element dictate that either the limit be
changed or the initial transformer loss-of-life be changed temporarily. Verification of
this function is recommended by programming an initial loss-of-life above the
element threshold. The element operates instantly as it has no associated time
delay.
Tap Monitor Failure
The tap monitor failure element operates when the sensed resistance is 150% larger
than the programmed values for the monitor circuit. Connect a resistance to
simulate the tap changer resistance and increase this resistance until the element
operates. Calculate that the resistance at which the element operated is 150% of
the resistance that would be present at the maximum tap position.
Verify all relay, targets and messages for correct operation per programmed values.

THD Level Scheme
a) Minimum Pickup
1. Testing of this element uses with the same setup used in testing the harmonic
restraint percent differential elements (see FIGURE 7–1: Test Setup on page 7–
3).
2. To test the Winding 1 THD element, connect the composite current signal to
terminals H1 and G1. Since the DC component actually consists of a half-wave
rectified signal, it contains all even harmonics which the relay measures and
operates on. Note that the fundamental component is required to prevent
saturation of the input CTs. Monitor the output relays as per the relay
FlexLogic™ assignment.
3. Set the fundamental component to rated CT secondary (1 or 5 A). Gradually
increase the DC component to produce even harmonics until the THD Level
element operates.
4. Display the total harmonic content under

. The displayed value of THD at which operation
took place should be the same as the programmed value.
5. Check that the Trip, Pickup (and Alarm if selected) LEDs are on and one of the
following is displayed:
LATCHED: W1 THD Level
or
OPERATED: W1 THD Level
6. Lower the DC component until the element resets. The reset value should be
approximately 2% less than the operate value. Verify that the Phase, Pickup,
and Alarm LEDs reset if the target function is set to “Self-resetting”. The Trip
LED should remain latched.
