Differential, Restricted Earth Fault, Thermal, and Overcurrent Elements
Time-Overcurrent Curves
Time-Overcurrent Curves
Standard Inverse-
Time Characteristic
Curves
The information in Table 3.5 and Table 3.6 describes the curve timing for the
curve and time dial settings made for the time-overcurrent elements. The time-
overcurrent curves in
Figure 3.28 through Figure 3.37 conform to IEEE
C37.112-1996 IEEE Standard Inverse-Time Characteristic Equations for
Overcurrent Relays.
Where:
T
p
= Operating time in seconds
T
R
= Electromechanical induction-disk emulation reset time in
seconds (if you select electromechanical reset setting)
TD = Time-dial setting
M = Applied multiples of pickup current [for operating time
(T
p
), M > 1; for reset time (T
R
), M

