Inverse Time-Overcurrent Monitoring
NOTE
All percentage indications of the current refer to the rated current (see page 37).
Function:
Monitoring of overcurrents including inversely proportional time dependent tripping characteristic.
The selected trip curve defines the tripping time according to the measured current. The tripping time will be de-
creased according to a defined curve the higher the measured current is. According to IEC 255 three different
characteristics are available.

If t is greater than 162 s the system trips at 162 s. If t is lower than t
min
the tripping time is t
min
. The reaction time
for t
min
depends on the time it takes to monitor the fault and the operating time of the relays. t
min
is at least 20 ms.
