Select the appropriate test plan template as detailed in the Standard field on the PSR. 7.4 PSR Sanity Checks Carry out sanity checks of the protection scheme and settings to look for any possible abnormalities. This could include: Ensure setting reports, PSRs, Relay Application Guides and Relay Configuration Standards are followed and align, Ensure the scheme used matches the application,
Check for irregular CT ratios (e.g. Feeders should be greater than the maximum expected load and transformers should be greater than 1.5 times the name plate MVA rating. All CTs in high impedance diff schemes are set to the same ratio. This information can be found in the Protection Setting Report.). 7.5 Populate the Test Plan Apply relay specific settings to the appropriate standard test plan template as per the PSR. 7.6 Secondary Isolation Carry out secondary isolation in accordance with Secondary Systems Isolation guidelines. 7.7 Apply PSR Apply the approved settings to the relay under test.

In addition to the above tests, the fault locator will be tested for correct operation by applying a single phase to ground fault at 50% of the feeder length. 8.3 Directional Over Current and Earth Fault Carry out the following tests: 3 phase fault at 50% of line at the line angle Earth fault on each phase at 50% of the line at the line angle 8.4 High Impedance Differential Protection Confirm the setting voltage is less than half the lowest knee point voltage of all CTs in the scheme Check that any resistor (shunt or stabilising) utilised in the circuit is utilising at least 2/3 of the total available resistance. 8.5 Transformer Biased Differential Protection 8.5.1 Through fault stability for phase faults Determine load side transformer current at the break point between Slope 1 and 2. From this load side current determine the source side current if the transformer was on top tap and determine the source side current if the transformer was on bottom tap.
Note:- All values are complex numbers, Nominal System Volts (11000 V, 22000 V, 33000 V etc.) Three Phase Source Impedance = (Nominal System Voltage at faulted Point) / ( 3 Three Phase Fault Current) Three Phase Fault Current at measuring point = (Nominal System Voltage at measuring point) / ( 3 (Three Phase Source Impedance to measuring point + Three Phase Impedance from measuring point to the Fault)) 8.2 Distance Relay System Testing Carry out the following tests: 3 phase fault for each zone at the line angle Earth fault for each zone at the fault loop impedance angle
