IEC CURVES
For European applications, the relay offers three standard curves defined in IEC 255-4 and British standard BS142. These
are defined as IEC Curve A, IEC Curve B, and IEC Curve C. The formulae for these curves are:
, (EQ 5.9)
where: T = operate time (in seconds), TDM = Multiplier setting, I = input current, I
pickup
= Pickup Current setting, K, E =
constants, t
r
= characteristic constant, and T
RESET
= reset time in seconds (assuming energy capacity is 100%
and
RESET is “Timed”)
