Due to the mathematical complexity involved in shaping the curve between Breakpoint 1 and Breakpoint 2, an
Excel-based simulation tool is available from the GE Multilin website at http://www.GEindustrial.com/multilin.
NOTE With this tool, the user can see the preset
test currents. The tool graphically indicates differential and restraint current magnitudes and indicates whether
the relay should operate.
