CHAPTER 5: SETPOINTS
489 GENERATOR MANAGEMENT RELAY – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 5–31
IAC Curves
The curves for the General Electric type IAC relay family are derived from the formula:
(EQ 0.6)
where: T = Trip Time in seconds
M = Multiplier setpoint
I = Input Current
I
pickup
= Pickup Current setpoint
A, B, C, D, E = Constants
FlexCurve™
The custom FlexCurve™ has setpoints for entering times to trip at the following current
levels: 1.03, 1.05, 1.1 to 6.0 in steps of 0.1 and 6.5 to 20.0 in steps of 0.5. The relay then
converts these points to a continuous curve by linear interpolation between data points. To
enter a custom FlexCurve™, read off each individual point from a time overcurrent
coordination drawing and enter it into a table as shown. Then transfer each individual
point to the 489 using either the EnerVista 489 Setup software or the front panel keys and
display.
