+ Multiple Tolerance: 6.655 amperes
– Multiple Tolerance: 6.345 amperes
Time Curve: E
Time Dial: 5.0
Minimum time dial
using 6.655 amperes: 46.5470 seconds
Maximum time dial

Curve Characteristics
Nine inverse time functions and one fixed time function can be selected by the front-panel Curve switch.
Characteristic curves for the inverse and definite time functions are defined by the following equation.
Where: T
T
= time to trip in seconds
D = time dial setting
M = multiple of pickup setting
A, B, C, N, K = constants for the particular curve
Time characteristic curve constants are listed in Tables 1-2 and 1-3. Constants have been selected to
conform to the characteristics of electromechanical relays over a range of pickup multiples from 1.3 to 40.
Values of the constants are provided for use in computer relay setting software. Timing accuracy is ±1
cycle, ±2 percent of time to trip.
