2.2 - Algorithm of the time current curves
The Time Current Curves are generally calculated with the following equation :
(1)
where :
t(I) = Actual trip time delay when the input current equals I
Is = Set minimum pick-up level
K
=
T
s
= Set time delay : t(I) = T
s
when
tr
= Operation time of the output relay on pick-up.
The parameters A, B and a have different values for the different Time Current Curves.
