ANSI CURVES
The ANSI time overcurrent curve shapes conform to industry standards and the ANSI
C37.90 curve classifications for extremely, very, and moderately inverse. The ANSI curves
are derived from the following formulae:
Where:
T = operate time (in seconds)
TDM = Multiplier setting
I = input current
I
pickup
= Pickup Current setting
A to E = constants
T
RESET
= reset time in seconds (assuming energy capacity is 100% and RESET is
“Timed”)
t
r
= characteristic constant
