5.4.2.4 ANSI CURVES
This family of curves complies with the American Standard ANSI C37.90 for Extremely inverse, Very inverse, Normally
inverse and Moderately inverse curves. The formulas that define these curves are as follows:
where:
T = Operation time (in seconds).
Dial = Multiplying factor
I = Input current
I
pickup
= Current pickup setting
A, B, C, D, E = Constants
T
reset
= Reset time (in seconds) assuming a 100% of power capacity and that the reset is activated
T
r
= Characteristic constant
The different constants that define the above-mentioned curves are:
