2.2.2.2 ANSI Reset
If the element is configured as an ANSI characteristic, it may have an ANSI decaying reset delay applied..
ANSI reset times from operated condition to fully reset are as follows for zero applied current and Time multiplier
(TM) = 1.0. The reset curve characteristic type and TM is defined by the operating characteristic.

Apply current in the following sequence, a) 2x setting for a time to ensure element operation, b) Zero current for
the reset time above (xTM), c) 2x setting for a time to ensure element operation. Check that the second operation
(c) is similar to the first (a) and in line with the expected operate time for the element at this current level.
Repeat the test with the reset time (b) reduced to 50% of the previous value. Ensure that the second operate time
(c) is 50% of the first (a) operate time.

2.2.2.3 IEC R
ESET
If the element is configured as an IEC characteristic, it may have an IEC decaying reset delay applied.
IEC reset times from operated condition to fully reset are as follows for zero applied current and Time multiplier
(TM) = 1.0. The reset curve characteristic type and TM is defined by the operating characteristic.
