IEC inverse time operation
The operation time depends on the measured value and other
parameters according Equation 2.24.1-1. Actually this equation
can only be used to draw graphs or when the measured value I
is constant during the fault. A modified version is implemented
in the device for real time usage.

A, B = Constants parameters according Table 2.24.1-1.
There are three different delay types according IEC 60255-3,
Normal inverse (NI), Extremely inverse (EI), Very inverse (VI)
and a VI extension. Additional there is a de facto standard
Long time inverse (LTI).
