5.4.2.2 IEC CURVES
This family of curves follows the European standard IEC 255-4, and the British standard BF142 for IEC Curves A, B and C,
IEC Long-Time Inverse and IEC Short-Time Inverse. The formulas that define these curves are as follows:
Where:
t = Operation time in seconds
Dial = multiplying factor
I = Input current
Itap = Current pickup value
K, E = constants defined by the standard
T
RESET
= reset time in seconds (assuming 100% of power capacity and that the reset is activated)
t
r
= characteristic constant.
