Setting Note 4
1) Find the maximum pu fault current for external faults (ie).
2) Assume that one of the input CTs saturates to 70%.
3) Set unrestraint pickup >.7 X IE.

Slope Margin
The slope formula accounts for an operating current bias due to magnetizing current in one winding. The
magnetizing current is assumed to be 4% of the OA rating. Step 20 is used to scale this magnetizing ratio
to the corresponding ratio of relay operate current: 4 x I
T
%.
The formula further assumes a conservative margin corresponding to an operation current of 23% of tap.
The actual margin varies with the tap settings, as given by the following equation:

) can be evaluated with this equation. The following plots
show the calculated slope and the resulting margin for M
