    The document discusses four standard current time characteristics defined by the IEC 60255 standard for tripping curves: standard inverse, very inverse, extremely inverse, and long-time inverse. Each characteristic can be calculated using a formula involving tripping time, fault current, relay pick-up current setting, and time multiplier setting. The characteristics are sometimes classified based on the tripping time at 10 times the current setting, with examples given of tripping times for each characteristic classification.

    IEC 60255 Characteristics


    The IEC 60255 standard defines four standard current time characteristics standard inverse (SI), very inverse (VI), extremely inverse (EI) and long-time inverse. Each characteristic can be calculated from:

    where: t = tripping time in (S) I = fault (actual) secondary CT current (A) Is = relay pick-up current setting) TMS = time multiplier setting

    Characteristic Standard Inverse Very Inverse Extremely Inverse

    1.0 2.0

    K 13.5 80 120

    0.02 0.14

    Long-time Inverse 1.0

    Relay characteristics are sometimes classified according to the tripping time at 10 times the setting current (i.e. [3s/10] - a standard inverse curve which will trip in 3 seconds at 10 times the current setting). Tripping times for the various relays are: Standard Inverse (SI) Very Inverse (VI) Extremely Inverse (EI) [3s/10] or [1.3s/10] [1.5s/10] [0.8s/10]

    Long Time Standard Earth Fault [13.3s/10]
