Date Code 20171021 Instruction Manual SEL-421 Relay
Protection Functions
Inverse-Time Overcurrent Elements
Time-Current Operating Characteristics
NOTE: If the relay is using a remote
data acquisition system, such as TiDL,
the operating times will be delayed by
1.5 ms. Use caution when setting the
relay coordination times to account
for this added delay.
The following information describes curve timing for time-overcurrent element
curve and time-dial settings. The time-overcurrent relay curves in Figure 5.77
through Figure 5.86 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 sec-
onds (if you select electromechanical reset setting)
TD = time-dial setting
M = applied multiples of pickup current [for operating time (T
p
),
M > 1; for reset time (T
r
), M  1]
