2.2.1 Definite Time Overcurrent (50)
If DTL setting is small, gradually increase current until element operates.
If DTL is large apply 0.9x setting, check for no operation, apply 1.1x setting, check operation
Apply 2x setting current if possible and record operating time

2.2.2 Inverse Time Overcurrent (51)
It will be advantageous to map the function being tested to temporarily drive the relevant Pickup output in the
Pickup Config
sub-menu in the
Output Config
menu as this will allow the Pick-up led to operate for the function.
Gradually increase current until Pickup LED operates.
Apply 2x setting current and record operating time,
Apply 5x setting current and record operating time.
