Note: 
The 
impedance  values  given  are  those 
for 
minimum 
tap 
of 
each  range,  the  impedance 
for 
other 
taps 
at 
pickup 
current 
(tap 
rating) 
varies 
·inversely,  (approximate"ly)  as  the  square 
of 
the  tap 
rating. 
For 
example, 
an 
IFC77 
60Hz 
relay  with 
0.5 
- 4.0 
amp 
range 
has 
an 
impedance 
of 
2.82 
ohms 
on 
the  0.5 
:.mp 
tap. 
The 
impedance 
of 
the  2.0 
amp 
tap 
·is 
(0.5/2.0)2 
X 2.82  =  0.176 
ohms.

Pickup  in  these  relays 
is 
defined  as  the 
current 
required 
to 
close  the  contacts 
from 
the  0.5  time 
dial 
position. 
Current 
settings 
are 
made 
by 
means 
of 
two 
movable 
leads 
which 
connect  to  the  tap  block 
at 
the  top 
of 
the  support 
structure, 
see  Figure  1. 
The 
tap  block 
is 
marked 
A through 
J, 
A through  M 
or 
A through 
N. 
See 
the  nameplate 
on 
the 
relay 
for 
tap 
settings. 
Example: 
The 
2 
amp 
tap  for  a 1 
to 
12 
IFC77 
time  overcurrent 
relay 
requires 
one 
movable 
lead  in 
position 
D 
and 
the 
other 
in 
position 
H . 
.Qperating 
Time 
Accur3.£)1_ 
The 
IFC 
relays  should  operate  within 
±7% 
or± 
the  time  dial 
setting 
times  0.010  seconds, whichever 
is 
I  l 
greater, 
of 
the  published  time  curve.  Figures  6-8 
and 
20-22 
show 
the  various  time-current 
characteristics 
(  ' 
for 
the 
IFC 
relays. 
The 
setting 
of 
the  time  dial  determines  the  length 
of 
time  required  to 
close 
the  con-
\,) 
tacts 
for 
a  given 
current. 
The 
higher  the  time  dial 
setting 
the  longer  the  operating  time. 
The 
contacts  are 
just 
closed 
when 
the  time  dial 
is 
set 
to  zero. 
The 
maximum 
time 
setting 
occurs 
when 
the  time  dial 
is 
set 
to 
10 
and 
the 'disk 
has 
to 
travel 
its 
maximum 
distance  to  close  the 
contacts. 
Res.tl_ 
The 
unit 
resets 
at 
90% 
of 
the 
m"inimum 
closing .current.  Reset  times  are  proportionate  to  the  time 
di a 1 
settings.

on 
when 
the  current 
is 
reduced  to  zero 
is 
approximately 
60 
seconds 
for 
the 
1FC53 
and 
77 
relays. 
The 
IFC51 
relay 
will 
reset 
in  approximately  7 
seconds 
from 
the 
same
