4000 This curve is for 50Hz or 60Hz applications.

3000 Notes:

1. This curve is shown as a multiple of the PICKUP setting (Ir). The TimeDial setting
2000 combined with SHORT PU and SHORT TIME setting (shown in heavy lines) depict
the IEC-B response. The Instantaneous, shown as a separate response, can be
set to OFF.

2. Curve Equation: Trip = TimeDial *[ 13.5 / (I -1)], where I is a multiple of Ir.

1000 For current > 1.2xIr tolerance is [±15%] or [-15%, +90 ms], whichever is larger.
900 TimeDial curve goes to flat response at 14xIr with a shorter time of TimeDial function
800
or SHORT TIME function prevailing if curves overlap. The ShortTime function and
700
the TimeDial function act independently and the entire TimeDial curves continue to
600 be active even after the curves intersect.

3. With Zone Selective Interlocking enabled, max trip times w/o aux power are as
400 follows:

300 3 Phase fault

60 Hz 75ms
50 Hz 85ms
200
When only one pole is carrying current and a fault occurs, trip times increase to
90ms at 60Hz and 95ms at 50 Hz, however with Aux power these times would be
reduced by 10%

4. The actual pick up point (indicated by rapid flashing of Unit Status LED on the
100 product) occurs at 110% of the Ir, current, with a ±5% tolerance. The SHORT PU
90
80 Adjustable PICKUP settings have conventional 100% ± 5% as their pick up point.
