The A connection compensation constant is based on Table 10.3.
Because the windings have the same WnCTC 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
TAPn settings can be different for the two windings.

. If any currents in
this test will exceed this rating, reduce the TAPn values as needed, to
prevent possible damage to the input circuits.
Step 5.
Purpose: Calculate the initial current for Winding 2 for this test.

This formula determines the current necessary for IOP = 0 given the
IAW1 calculated above.
Step 6.
Purpose: Connect a single-current test source to A-phase of Winding 1 and a
single-current test source to A-phase of Winding 2. Ramp down Winding
2 current until the appropriate LED illuminates.
Method: Connect the two current test sources as shown in Figure 10.6. Turn on the
current test source for A-phase of Winding 1 (IAW1) at the value
calculated above,
and set the phase angle at zero degrees
. Turn on the
current test source for A-phase of Winding 2 (IAW2) at the calculated
initial current
and set the phase angle at 180 degrees
. Slowly decrease
the magnitude of IAW2 until the 87R element asserts. Note the
magnitude of the current applied. It should equal the value calculated in
