3) Zone limits test
Given the fault impedances Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4 of the zone limits,
compute as follows the corresponding fault voltages V1, V2,
V3, V4:
Vf = Z*If*(1+KoL)
For instance: KoL = 1; If = 10 A
Vf = 20 * Z
These voltages are the limits between following zones, as
follows:

Where: T1, T2, T3, T4 are respectively the time settings for
zones 1, 2, 3, 4 (case of three zones plus the starter).
Once fault current and pre-fault voltage amplitudes have been
adjusted to VN, stop the test and start again. Adjust the fault
voltage of the selected phase at a value slightly less than V1,
VT11: the trip time should be the one of zone 1. Slightly
increase the fault voltage and start again with value VT12: trip
time should become T2. The procedure can be repeated at
will, until the first zone is checked with the desired accuracy:
the result is
