0.1. 

Reset 

Integrating: 

Simulates the disk reset of electromechanical relays and begins when 
the current decreases below 95% of pickup. Appendix A, 

Characteristic 

Curves

 illustrates the integrating reset characteristic curve and equation. 

Instantaneous: 

Reset occurs within 16 ms of when the current decreases below 95% of 
the pickup level.

Setting Range: 

2 to 99 Aac 

Setting increment: 

1 Aac 

Accuracy: Sum 

of 

±

2% and 

±

25 mAac

Setting increment: 

0.2 Aac 

Accuracy: Sum 

of 

±

2% and 

±

5 mAac 

Dropout 

Dropout occurs at 95% of pickup value. 

Time Delay 

Switch selectable—no intentional delay (SW3-2 open/off) or a fixed delay of 100 ms (SW3-2 closed/on). 
Appendix A, 

Characteristic Curves

 illustrates the characteristic curve for the 50-A and 50-B elements.
