Normal Inverse |
α = 0.02 ; β = 0.14 (See below for details) |
Very Inverse |
α = 1.0 ; β = 13.5 (See below for details) |
Extremely Inverse |
α = 2.0 ; β = 80.0 (See below for details) |
Long Inverse |
α = 1.0 ; β = 120.0 (See below for details) |
User Defined |
Current (kA); Operating Time(s) |
C.T. Ratio |
C.T. Ratio. The C.T. Secondary is 5A hence for a 500/5 C.T. a ratio of 500:5 must be used. |
Plug Setting |
Determines the relay 'pick-up' current. |
Time Multiplier |
Alters the time of operation for a specific plug setting. |
Definite Minimum Time |
Definite Minimum Time of the Relay |
C.T. Saturation |
Multiple of the C.T's winding current. |
Instantaneous Setting |
Determines the current at which the relay operates instantaneously. |
Instantaneous Time (ms) |
Operating time for a fault current greater than the instantaneous setting. |
Minimum Discrimination Time (ms) |
The Minimum Discrimination Time for this relay |
Max. Current Rating (kA) |
Maximum fault (kA) clearance capability of the breaker. |

•Inverse (Tripping time is inversely proportional to fault current)
•Definite (For large fault currents tripping time is constant)
•Minimum
•Time
The relationship between current and time complies with IEC 255-4 and can be expressed as follows:
|
•t(s) = Relay operating time in seconds •k = Time Multiplier •I =Actual Current Flowing •I> =Plug Setting * C.T. Ratio •β,α = Curve Constants |
