1-10 BE1-50/51M - General Information
Time Characteristics
- Continued
Refer to Tables 1-3 or 1-4 for the time characteristic curve constants.
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 available for use in computer relay setting
programs. Timing accuracy is the sum of ±1 cycle and ±2%.
The fixed time characteristic provides delays of 0.0 to 9.9 seconds
corresponding to the time dial setting. The time set is constant over a
range of pickup multiples from 1.0 to 40. Accuracy is ±2% ±1 cycle for time
dial settings of 0.1 and greater.
