RI and RXIDG type inverse time operation
These two inverse delay types have their origin in old ASEA
(nowadays ABB) earth fault relays.
The operation delay of types RI and RXIDG depends on the
measured value and other parameters according Equation
2.23.1-4 and Equation 2.23.1-5. Actually these equations can
only be used to draw graphs or when the measured value I is
constant during the fault. Modified versions are implemented
in the relay for real time usage.
