BE1-50/51B-General Information
Refer to Tables 1-3 and 1-4 for the time characteristic curve constants.
Constants have been selected to conform to the characteristics of
electromechanical relays over a range of pickup multiples from 1.3 to
40. Values of the constants are available for use in computer relay
setting programs. Timing accuracy is the sum of ±1 cycle and ±2%.
The fixed time characteristic provides delays of 0.0 to 9.9 seconds
corresponding to the time dial setting. The time set is constant over a
range of pickup multiples from 1.0 to 40. Accuracy is ±2% ±1 cycle for
time dial settings of 0.1 and greater.
