2.13.1. Standard inverse delays IEC, IEEE, IEEE2, RI
The available standard inverse delays are divided in four
categories IEC, IEEE, IEEE2 and RI called delay curve
families. Each category of family contains a set of different
delay types according the following table.
Inverse time setting error signal
The inverse time setting error signal will be activated, if the
delay category is changed and the old delay type doesn't exist
in the new category. See chapter 2.13 for more details.
Limitations
The minimum definite time delay start latest, when the
measured value is twenty times the setting. However, there are
limitations at high setting values due to the measurement
range. See chapter 2.13 for more details.
Table 2.13.1-1 Available standard delay families and the
available delay types within each family.
Long time extremely inverse
Short time extremely inverse
IEC inverse time operation
The operation time depends on the measured value and other
parameters according Equation 2.13.1-1. 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 relay for real time usage.
