PROCEDURE:

1) Make the writing sequence as per wiring schedule. Keep dimmer on EMT23A/1 at
minimum position(CCW).
2) Ensure that ‘Bypass switch’ on EMT39 panel is at ‘OFF’
Position i.e. RHS side.
3)Differential relay we are using is a three phase relay indicating three phase phases
as R,Y and B.While performing experiment we are using only one phase say ‘R’
phase.
4) Relay Settings: now switch on auxiliary supply for Differential relay by making
ON 4A MCB as EMT16A.
Press Menu key you will observe two options i.e. View & Edit. Press 2 key for edit, it
will ask for password. Press ‘1234’ & press enter, it will show accepted. The options
in edit modes are Group1, Group2, Active group, clock, LCD & reset. Select Group1
by pressing 1. Now setting corresponding to group1 are displayed. Now enter the
following setting in for group1 by using numeric keys & enter key.
Pickup(ik)=0.2pu, slope1=40%, slope2=80%,Breakpoint(kp)=1pu,
Diff. Hiset=0pu, CTR(W2)=1pu, Inrush(2f)= 0pu,
Over excitation(5f)=0 %,vector group= Dd0.
5)Now switch on AC supply by making both MCB ON at EMT16A.
6)Now press start push button PB1 on EMT39/1 to switch ON the protection circuit &
contactor.
7)Now slowly increase the dimmer on panel ENT23/1 observing on EMT39/1
increase until relay trips. Note down this pick up current reading in observation table.
8)To take other set of readings press reset button on relay.
9)Now change the pickup value as per the table given blow and note down readings of
pickup current.
10) The same experiment may be repeated for other two phases also.
