The RD inverse curve gives a logarithmic delay, as used in the Combiflex protection
RXIDG. The curve enables a high degree of selectivity required for sensitive residual
earth-fault current protection, with ability to detect high-resistive earth faults. The
curve is described by equation

is the set start current for step n,
k is set time multiplier for step n and
i is the measured current
The timer will be reset directly when the current drops below the set start current level
minus the hysteresis.
21.3 Inverse time characteristics
When inverse time overcurrent characteristic is selected, the operate
time of the stage will be the sum of the inverse time delay and the set
definite time delay. Thus, if only the inverse time delay is required, it
is of utmost importance to set the definite time delay for that stage to
zero.
