c) IEC CURVES
For European applications, the relay offers the four standard curves defined in IEC 255-4 and British standard BS142.
These are defined as IEC Curve A, IEC Curve B, IEC Curve C, and Short Inverse. The formula for these curves is:
(EQ 4.5)
where: T = Trip Time in seconds
M = Multiplier setpoint
I = Input Current
I
pickup
= Pickup Current setpoint
K, E = Constants
d) IAC CURVES
The curves for the General Electric type IAC relay family are derived from the formula:
(EQ 4.6)
where: T = Trip Time in seconds
M = Multiplier setpoint
I = Input Current
I
pickup
= Pickup Current setpoint
A, B, C, D, E = Constants
