Time-Overcurrent Curves
The following information describes the curve timing for the curve and time
dial settings made for the time-overcurrent elements (see Figure 3.24 through
Figure 3.26). The time-overcurrent relay curves in Figure 9.1–Figure 9.10
conform to IEEE C37.112-1996 IEEE Standard Inverse-Time Characteristic
Equations for Overcurrent Relays.
T
p
= operating time in seconds
T
r
= electromechanical induction-disk emulation reset time in
seconds (if electromechanical reset setting is made)
TD = time dial setting
M = applied multiples of pickup current [for operating time
(T
p
), M > 1; for reset time (T
r
), M ≤ 1].
