13.5.1.6.2.3 Time Dial Setting
The time dial setting for all the curves is from 0.05 to 15 with a step size of 0.05. However, the
following restrictions apply:
The USA curves have an effective range of 0.1 to 15 (if the user specifies 0.05 it will be
rounded up to 0.1 for the calculations).
The IEC curves have a range of 0.05 to 1. If set to a value above 1, the relay will use 1 for the
calculations.
13.5.1.6.2.4 Characteristic Curves
Time overcurrent units include seven characteristic curves:
USA Moderately Inverse
USA Inverse
USA Very Inverse
USA Extremely Inverse
IEC Standard Type A (Inverse)
IEC Standard Type B (Very Inverse)
IEC Standard Type C (Extremely Inverse)
The seven characteristic curves are shown on the following pages.
