Set the logic link LOG7 to '0'. Repeat the above tests and this time the RunAway function
should not cause blocking of the 'Raise volts' or 'Lower volts' relay contacts. 'RunAway'
relay contacts should operate as it did in the above tests.

Load Check

When the line drop compensation facility is used, check by applying a load down the line
to prove that the polarities of the VT and CT are connected to the relay correctly. Large
load current will provide a more conclusive result.
Calculate the expected voltage drops for both the Resistive and Reactive components in
the line at the CT rated primary current and convert these to secondary valued using the
VT ratio.
Where:

At the receiving end of the feeder measure the phase to phase voltage on the secondary
of the VT. Repeat this at the feeding end on the same pair of lines.
Set Vs to the value measured at the receiving end. The relay should not cause tapping if

and
If tapping occurs then either CT and VT are not connected correctly or that the Vr and V
settings do not match the line Vr, V
Increase and decrease the Vs setting and record the settings at which the 'Raise volts'
contacts and the 'Lower volts' contacts change state. If the average values of these two
voltages are within 2% of the remote end value, then the relative connections to CT and
VT are correct.
