ordination between the operating time of the different protections. To enable optimal co-
ordination all overcurrent relays, to be co-ordinated against each other, should have the
same time characteristic. Therefore a wide range of standardized inverse time
characteristics are available: IEC and ANSI.

There is also a user programmable inverse time characteristic.
Normally it is required that the negative sequence overcurrent function shall reset as fast
as possible when the current level gets lower than the operation level. In some cases some
sort of delayed reset is required. Therefore different kinds of reset characteristics can be
used.
For some protection applications there can be a need to change the current pickup level for
some time. Therefore there is a possibility to give a setting of a multiplication factor
MultPUx to the negative sequence current pick-up level. This multiplication factor is
activated from a binary input signal MULTPUx to the function.
