If two Undercurrent 37 elements are used with different settings, it is convenient to test the element with the
lowest setting first. The higher setting element can then be tested without interference from the other element.
Apply 3Phase balanced current or single phase current on the single pole relay models at a level above the
Undercurrent 37-n setting until the element resets.
If DTL setting is small, gradually reduce any phase current in turn until element operates.
If DTL is large apply 1.1x setting, check for no operation, apply 0.9x setting, check operation
Testing of this element phase by phase may cause inadvertent operation of the 46 NPS Overcurrent elements.
Apply 0.5x setting current and record operating time
