Overcurrent Delay
 Range 0.1 – 20.0 seconds
ï‚· Used with the Overcurrent Level and Rated Current to determine the
amount of time (AMP
ï‚·SECONDS) any current can be greater than the
overcurrent level before an alarm or shutdown is received.
ï‚· Overcurrent Detection begins when current exceeds Overcurrent Level
ï‚· AMPï‚·SECONDS
Overcurrent Delay
x (Overcurrent Level – Rated Current)
ï‚· If the Overcurrent Level is set <= Rated Current, AMPï‚·SECONDS = 0.
ï‚· This will cause an Alarm or Shutdown when Rated Current is attained.
ï‚· AMPï‚·SECONDS accumulate when current is > the Overcurrent Level
ï‚· AMPï‚·SECONDS reset to 0 when current is < the Overcurrent Level
Using Figures 4-22, 4-23, and 4-24 will help determine where the Overcurrent
Level and Overcurrent Delay should be set for any application.
