Application of different O/C characteristics

Definite time (DT)


Easy to coordinate
Constant tripping time independent of infeed variation and fault location

Normal inverse (NI)


Relativey small change in time per unit of change of current.
Most frequenly used in utility and industrial circuits.
Especially applicable where the fault magnitude is nmainly dependent on
the system generating capacity at the time of fault.

Very inverse (VI)


Suitable if there is a substantial reduction of fault current as the fault
distance from the power source increases.

Extemely inverse (EI)


Suitable for protection of distribution feeders with peak currents on
switching in (refrigerators, pumps, water heaters and so on).
Particular suitable for grading with fuses.

Z2.zone = 0.85 x ( ZAB + 0.85 x ZAC ) < 1.00 ZAB
