APPENDIX 1 OVERCURRENT RELAYS

ANTOre many types of time-dependent curves. They follow standards set by 1EC, IEEE, IAC,
U S , and are defined as Standard Inverse; Very Inverse; Extremely Inverse orso.

The curve is
defined by two parameters:
The setting threshold I>;
noher parameter, that can be either the Time Multiplier (K or KT), or the Time Dial setting ( )
Lat is the delay with Current equal to 10 times the Pick-up Current (101).
rom these
parameters the diagram can be drawn, as followS.

A) Parameter KT
n this instance, IEC and 1EEE curves correspond to the following formula.
