6.5.1.5
Restricted earth fault element REF
The restricted earth fault element is checked on the following items.
Operating current value
Percentage restraining characteristic
Note: Set all the CT ratio matching settings (1kct1 - 1kct3 to 3kct1 - 3kct3) to "1", because the
operating value depends on the settings.
Operation current value
The testing circuit is shown in Figure 6.5.7.

Figure 6.5.7 Operating Current Value Test of REF element (Model 100s, 200s)
The test current input terminal number and output signal number of the REF element is as
follows:
Element
1REF
2REF
3REF
Press 4 (= Logic circuit) on the "Test" sub-menu screen to display the "Logic circuit"
screen.
Enter the signal number 71 to observe the 1REF output at monitoring jack A and press the
ENTER key.
Apply a test current to TB1-7 and -8 and change the magnitude of the current applied and
measure the value at which the element operates.
Check that the measured value is within 15% of the theoretical operating value.
