Section 12
A test with primary current through the protected zone is usually a final check that the current circuits are
correctly connected to the IED protection scheme. It is important to have an appropriate source, which is
able to inject sufficient current in the primary circuit in order to distinguish between noise and real
injected current. Therefore it is recommended that the injection current should be at least 10% of rated
CT primary current.

12.1.1

Load drop compensation function, LDC

The load drop compensation function can be tested directly with operational currents, in other words, with
the power transformer in service and loaded.
When the system is carrying load there is a difference between the busbar voltage (VB) and the voltage
at the load point (VL). This difference is load dependent and can be compensated by the ATCC function.
The load current is fed into the ATCC function where parameters corresponding to the line data for
resistance and inductance are set. The voltage drop calculated by the LDC is proportional to the voltage
drop in the system up to the load point.
In the IED, this voltage is subtracted from the measured busbar voltage (VB) and the result,
corresponding to the voltage at the load point (UL) is presented to the ATCC function for the purposes of
voltage regulation. This voltage will be lower (if resistive or inductive load current is applied) than the
Vset voltage and ATCC increases the voltage in order to achieve the correct system voltage at the load
point.
1. Confirm the PST settings for Rline and Xline.
If the function LDC is set to Zero, this test is omitted.
2. Open the voltage control display on the LHMI in Main Menu /Control /Commands /

Primary injection testing

Whenever it becomes necessary to work on primary equipment, it is essential that all the
necessary switching, locking, grounding and safety procedures are observed and
obeyed in a rigid and formalized manner. Operating and testing procedures should be
strictly followed in order to avoid exposure to live equipment.
