Procedure:
1. Connect the circuit as shown in fig.
2. Pin the plug setting (Ps) of relay at one position (say at 2.5).
3. Adjust the multiplier setting to certain value (say 1.0)
4. Close the supply switch S and adjust the autotransformer such that
the relay just trips and note that current value.

5. With the help of stop watch note down the time taken to trip the relay.
6. By increasing the current time taken to trip the relay is noted and the
values are tabulated.
7. Change the multiplier setting and repeat the same steps.
8. Also repeat the experiment for different plug settings.
