In addition to the above nine curve types, the OC1 can provide a user configurable IDMT curve. If
required, set the scheme switch [M∗∗∗] to "CON" and set the curve defining constants k, a, c, kr
and b. The following table shows the setting ranges of the curve defining constants.

Programmable Reset Characteristics
OC1 has a programmable reset feature: instantaneous, definite time delayed, or dependent time
delayed reset. (Refer to Appendix A for a more detailed description.)
Instantaneous resetting is normally applied in multi-shot auto-reclosing schemes, to ensure correct
grading between relays at various points in the scheme.
The dependent time delayed reset characteristic is particularly useful for providing correct
coordination with an upstream induction disc type overcurrent relay.
