CURVES
General Although the curves tend towards infinite when the current approaches Is (general threshold), the minimum guaranteed value of the operating current for all the curves with the inverse time characteristic is 1.1Is (with a tolerance of 0,05Is.
12.1.1 Inverse Time Curves : The first phases (earth) overcurrent threshold can be selected with a dependent time characteristic. The time delay is calculated with a mathematical formula. In all, there are eleven inverse time characteristics available. The mathematical formula applicable to the first ten curves is :

The first stage of the phase and earth overcurrent protections, negative sequence overcurrent and wattmetric/IeCos are provided with a timer hold facility "t Reset". It may be set to a definite time value or to an inverse time characteristic (IEEE/ANSI curves only). This may be useful in certain applications, for example when grading with upstream electromechanical overcurrent relays which have inherent reset time delays. The second and third stages for the wattmetric/Iecos protection and earth fault overcurrent protection have a definite time reset. A possible situation where the reset timer may be used is to reduce fault clearance times where intermittent faults occur. An example may occur in a plastic insulated cable. In this application it is possible that the fault energy melts and reseals the cable insulation extinguishing the fault. The permanence of the fault current pulses reduce intervals between the pulses until the fault becomes permanent. When the reset time of the relay is to minimum setting, the relay will be repeatedly reset and not be able to trip until the fault becomes permanent. By using the reset timer hold facility the relay will integrate the fault current pulses, thereby reducing fault clearance time. The mathematical formula applicable to the five curves is:
K t = T 1 (I I S )
Where: t: K: I: Is : : T: Reset time
