Expected time
Conclusion
Figures 1-2 and 1-3 have been simplified (below)
to clarify the testing concepts.
The test currents can be calculated for other tap
and slope combinations from the following summary,
Table 1.
Expected time
The operate time corresponding to this multiple
of pickup of 2 is found in Figure 1-3 : 52ms. Variations
of about 25% are to be expected, due to component
tolerances, but particularly due to the slope of the
characteristic at multiples of pickup below 3.
Definitions
SINGLE SOURCE
Test current:
increase (step)
from 0 to It
TWO SOURCES
Test current:
Reduce (step)
from balance
(k.Tap) to It
It = k.Tap (1-m.s)
Table 1
Note: For two source testing using the current reduction method, the maximum multiple of
pickup is reached when It=0. In this case m=1/s, as in the single input test.
