Step 3. The results from the above calculations can now be plotted on a graph of the complex power
plane.
Graph Example
Given:
Relay style number is F3E-E1P-B1S1F. (Reference the Style Chart, Figure 1-4.)
Pickup is set to 125. (Reference Table 1-1.)
Test results are obtained as given in Step 1. For this example, we are using the data shown in
columns [1] and [2] of Table 5-4.
Step 1. Calculate P and Q for a current phase angle of 20
°
(Ө = –20°).

Note that the above results for a phase angle of –20
° have been entered in Table 5-4, columns
[3] and [4], first row. Similarly, the values of P and Q can be solved for the other phase angles of
column [1].
Step 2. Finally, the data from Table 5-4 is shown plotted on the complex power plane shown in Figure
5-3. A blank graph is provided as Figure 5-4.
