User-defined Curve (Inverse Time)
User-defined characteristics are only used for the standard measurement method cos ϕ / sin ϕ (address 
130 S.Gnd.F.Dir.Ch). During configuration of a user-defined Curve, it should be noted that there is a safety 
factor of approx. 1.1 between pickup and setting value -  as is standard for inverse curves. This means that 
pickup will only be initiated when current of 1.1 times the setting value flows.
The value pairs (current and time) are entered as multiples of the values at addresses 3119 51Ns PICKUP 
and 3120 51NsTIME DIAL. Therefore, it is recommended that these addresses are initially set to 1.00 for sim-
plicity reasons. Once the curve has been entered, the settings at addresses 3119 and/or 3120 can be modified 
if necessary.
The default setting of current values is ∞. They are, therefore, not enabled — and no pickup or tripping of these 
protective functions will occur.
Up to 20 value pairs (current and time) may be entered at address 3131  M.of PU   TD. The device then 
approximates the Curve, using linear interpolation.
The following must be observed:
• The value pairs should be entered in increasing sequence. If desired, fewer than 20 pairs can be entered. 
In most cases, about 10 pairs is sufficient to define the Curve accurately. A value pair which will not be used 
has to be made invalid by entering "∞” for the threshold! The user must ensure that the value pairs produce 
a clear and constant Curve 
The current values entered should be those from Table 2-9, along with the matching times. Deviating values 
I/I
p 
 are rounded. This, however, will not be indicated.
Current below the current value of the smallest
 curve point will not lead to an extension of the tripping time. 
The pickup curve (see Figure 2-70) continues, from the smallest 
 current point parallel to the current axis.
Current flows greater than the highest
 current value entered will not result in a reduced tripping time. The 
pickup curve (see Figure 2-70) continues, from the largest
 current point parallel to the current axis.
