IEC CURVES
For European applications, the relay offers three standard curves defined in IEC 255-4 and British standard BS142. These
are defined as IEC Curve A, IEC Curve B, and IEC Curve C. The formulae for these curves are:
T
=
where: T = operate time (in seconds), TDM = Multiplier setting, I = input current, I
constants, t = characteristic constant, and T
r
and is "Timed")
