This curve is for 50Hz or 60Hz applications.

3000 Notes:

1. This curve is shown as a multiple of the PICKUP setting (Ir). The TimeDial setting
2000 combined with SHORT PU and SHORT TIME setting (shown in heavy lines) depict
the IEC-A response. The Instantaneous,shown as a separate response, can be
set to OFF.

2. Curve Equation: Trip = TimeDial *[ 0.14 / ( I0.0 2-1) ] where I is a multiple of Ir.
1000 For current > 1.2xIr tolerance is [15%] or [-15%, +90 ms], whichever is larger.
900
800
TimeDial curve goes to flat response at 14xIr with a shorter time of
700
TimeDial function or SHORT TIME function prevailing if curves overlap.
600
The ShortTime function and the TimeDial function act independently and the entire
500 TimeDialcurves continue to be active even after the curves intersect.
400 3. With Zone Selective Interlocking enabled, max trip times w/o aux power are
as follows:
300
3 Phase fault
60 Hz 75ms
200 50 Hz 85ms

When only one pole is carrying current and a fault occurs, trip times increase to
90ms at 60Hz and 95ms at 50 Hz, however with Aux power these times would be
reduced by 10%
100
90 4. The actual pick up point (indicated by rapid flashing of Unit Status LED on the
80 product) occurs at 110% of the Ir, current, with a 5% tolerance. The SHORT PU
1 MINUTE

70 settings have conventional 100% 5% as their pick up point.

5. SHORT PU has also has a M1 setting, which may extend out where the SHORT
50 Adjustable PICKUP PU will become active.
