 EARTH AND PHASE CURRENT OVERCURRENT FUNCTIONS
INVERSE TIME CURVES
The first and second stage overcurrent threshold can be selected
with a dependent time characteristic.

The time delay is calculated with a mathematical formula.

There are eleven inverse time characteristics available.
The mathematical formula applicable to the first ten curves is :
Where:

t = Tripping time
K = Coefficient
I = Value of measured current
IS = Value of the programmed threshold (Pick-up value)
α = Coefficient
L = ANSI/IEEE coefficient (zero for IEC curves)
T = Time multiplier between 0.025 and 1.5
