INTRODUCTION NA011- Manual - 10 - 2013 9


2 GENERAL
Preface
The relay type NA011 can be used in radial networks as feeder or power transformer protection.
In solidly grounded systems the residual overcurrent protection can be used on feeders of any length,
while in ungrounded or Petersen coil and/or resistance grounded systems, the residual overcurrent
protection can be used on feeders of small length in order to avoid unwanted trippings due to the
capacitive current contribution of the feeder on external ground fault.
Beside to the phase and residual overcurrent protections, the automatic reclosing function is pro-
vided.
The NA011 protection relay may be shipped with traditional CTs or low power (LPCT) current inputs;
for both versions, the residual overcurrent protection can use the measured (CTs or balanced trans-
former) or the calculated residual current.

Following input circuits are available:


Phase current inputs
Traditional CTs
• Three phase current inputs with secondary nominal currents independently selectable at 1 A or 5 A
through DIP-switches.
Low power CTs
• Three phase current inputs with primary nominal currents independently selectable through
DIP-switches and software.
Residual current input
Measured residual current
• One residual current input with secondary nominal current selectable at 1 A or 5 A through DIP-
switches.
Calculated residual current
• Residual current is calculated by the vector sum of the three phase currents, measured by three
1 A or 5 A CTs or by three LPCT type sensors.

Setting, programming and reading operations must be effected by means of Personal Computer with
ThySetter software or by means of remote communication interface (RS485 bus); all operations must
be performed through MMI.

The NA011 hardware case is suitable for flash and rack mounting

Main features
• Metallic case.
• Backlight LCD 2x16 Display.
• Eight LEDs that may be joined with matrix criteria to many and various functions.
• RESET key to clear LED indications and latched output relays.
• Three binary inputs.
• Independently settable for start, trip, self-test and control four output relay (K1...K4) Each output
relay may be set with normally energized or normally de-energized operating mode and manual or
automatic reset (latched/no-latched).
• Rear RS485 port, with ModBus protocol.
• RS232 front serial port (local communication for Thysetter).
• Real time clock with super capacitor backup.

The most significant constructive features are:


• Galvanically insulated input and output circuits (communication and binary circuits included).
• Fast sampling rate for inputs.
• Optimum filtering of input signals through combined use of analog and digital filters.
• Traditional electromechanical-type final output contacts with continuous monitoring of control coil
continuity.
• Auxiliary supply comprising a switching-type voltage stabilizing circuit having a very wide working
range and a very small power dissipation

The most significant operating features are:


• Programming of operating modes and parameters by means of the front keys and alphanumeric
display, with a programming procedure based on carrying out guided selections and on explicit and
immediate signalling of the operations being performed, so that such procedure can be carried out
without coding tables or mnemonic informations.
• The feature modification operations do not interrupt the normal functions of the relay.
• Impossibility of programming unacceptable parameter values, thanks to the automatic limitation of
top and bottom scale values for the relative setting ranges.
• Currents are sampled 64 times per period and measured in the effective value (RMS) of the funda-
mental component using the DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) algorithm and digital filters.
• The fault recorder (SFR) runs continuously capturing in circular mode the last twenty events upon
trigger of binary input/output and/or element pickup (start-trip).
• The event recorder (SER) runs continuously capturing in circular mode the last three hundred
events upon trigger of binary input/output.
• Digital fault recorder (DFR) in COMTRADE format (oscillography).

4.2 SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
The program which handles operation of the Pro-N relays is made up of three fundamental elements
shown in the following block diagram.

APPLICATION

DRIVERS

timers

sampling KERNEL

Kernel
The kernel represents the nucleus of the system: it includes the processing functions closest to the
electronic circuits; particularly the algorithms providing for the generation of the synchronisms (tim-
ers) for sampling the analogue signals and numerical processing.
The software is structured with interrupts operating with various priority levels in a non “pre-emp-
tive” task system. By means of Discrete Fourier Transform calculation, based on 64 samples/period,
information is deduced in relation to the amplitude and phase of all the current measurements; these
are constantly updated and at the disposal of all the protection and control application algorithms.
In addition, the kernel manages a service communication protocol known as Basic Protocol (BP).

Drivers
The driver library contains all the specialised modules for the command and control functions which
make up the connection ring between the kernel and the application. Examples of drivers include the
Modbus communication and LCD display modules.

Application
The application contains all the elements which carry out the protection and control functions.
The main modules are:
- diagnostic function,
- input management (logical inputs and block signal),
- protective functions,
- event recording,
- output management (output relays, LEDs and block signals).

Each element (Kernel, Drivers and Application) may, in turn, be split into modules:

Base protocol (kernel)


The module known as the Basic Protocol (BP) manages the service communication between the
kernel and the other modules through the communication buses:
- direct for internal functional call,
- SPI over synchronous serial,
- SCI over asynchronous serial.
The activities which may be performed by means of BP include:
- measurement configuration ,
- measurement reading,
- measurement enabling.

Calibration (kernel)
Calibration is performed using the base protocol functions for coordinating the calibration and test-
ing stages with the automatic testing equipment (ATE).

Communication (drivers)
The protective device implements the MODBUS RTU protocol for communicating via the RS232 inter-
face with the ThySetter setting software and via the RS485 interface with the field bus.
All major codes according to the Modbus standard are envisaged; for a complete description and
map of the addresses, please refer to the appendix mentioned further in this manual.

MMI (drivers)
This handles the menus, available both on the panel and by means of Modbus messages, which
may be run from commands using the keyboard, LEDs and LCD display.
MMI information is stored in EEPROM and may be loaded remotely by means of the basic protocol
functions.

22 NA011- Manual - 10 - 2013 FUNCTION CHARACTERISTICS


Data Base (application/drivers)
Using modular criteria, the database is structured in three sections:
- RAM containing the volatile data,
- REE and PAR containing the data recorded in non-volatile memory.
Duplication of the data into two memory banks is envisaged with a continuous control system based
on the cross checking of the consistency of the stored data. Modification of the calibration pa-
rameters is split into two stages; in particular, data undergoing modification is placed in temporary
memory and subsequently confirmed permanently (Store command) or discarded (Clear command).
Instead, the area identified as REE is set aside for recording data which does not require the Store
command for storage, or date written directly by the application (e.g.: counters,...)

Self-test (application)
This function cyclically monitors the operation of the main hardware and software functions without
affecting the process cycle with any significant delays.
In particular, the functions monitored are the following,
- the reference voltage levels,
- output relay coil continuity,
- the program flow control by monitoring the execution times and stack area occupancy,
- checking the pilot wires (accelerated logic system),
- the consistency of the data in the REE and PAR blocks, duplicated in the EEPROM.

Development tools
For the development of the project, a CASE instrument has been developed, responsible for the opti-
mized production of software code for the management of collaboration, the database and the MMI
data and the Xml files used for communication. The automatic code generation criteria ensures the
quality of the result in terms of the reusability, verifiability and maintainability of the software life
cycle.

Output relays
Four output relays are available (K1...K4) with two changeover contacts (SPDT, type C):[1]
• K1, K2 and K4 are trip relays.
• K3 is a signalling relay.[2]
Each output relay may be programmed with following operating mode:
• Operation MODE (No latched, Latched).
• Logic (Energized/De-energized).
To each output relay a programmable timer is matched (Minimum pulse width parameter).
All parameters are available inside the Set \ Relays menu.

Any change to the settings can be affected at any time, also with the relay on duty, separately for
each relay.
Notes:
• When de-energized operating mode is set, the relay remains in rest condition if no trip command
is in progress.
• When energized operating mode is set, the relay remains in operating condition if no trip command
is in progress and the auxiliary supply is powered on.
• When no-latched operating mode is set (Kx Mode No-latched), the output relay reset at the end
of the trip condition. To each output relay a programmable timer is matched (minimum pulse width
operation).
• When latched operating mode is set Kx Mode Latched, the output relay doesn’t reset at the end
of the trip condition; it stays ON until a reset command is issued (RESET key, ThySetter or com-
munication command).
• It is advisable to make sure that the output contact technical data are suitable for load (Nominal
current, breaking capacity, make current, switching voltage,...).
Matching every output relay to any protective element is freely programmable inside the Setpoints
submenus according a tripping matrix structure.[3][4]

Phase overcurrent - 50/51
Preface
Three operation thresholds, independently adjustable (I>, I>>, I>>>) with adjustable delay
(t >, t >>, t >>>).
The first one may be programmed with inverse time according the IEC 60255-3/BS142 standard.
The second and third thresholds have a definite time characteristic.
For the definite time thresholds a reset time can be set (t>>RES, t>>>RES) useful to reduce the clearing
time for intermittent faults.
Operation and settings
Each phase fundamental frequency current is compared with the setting value. Currents above the
associated pickup value are detected and a start is issued. After expiry of the associated operate
time a trip command is issued; if instead the current drops below the threshold, the element it is
restored.
The first threshold (I>) may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the following
characteristic curves:
• Standard Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type A or SIT): t = 0.14 · t >inv / [(I/I>inv)0.02 - 1]
• Very Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type B or VIT): t = 13.5 · t >inv / [(I/I>inv) - 1]
• Extremely Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type C or EIT): t = 80 · t >inv / [(I/I>inv)2 - 1]
• Moderately Inverse (ANSI/IEEE type MI): t = t >inv · {0.01 / [(I/I>inv)0.02 - 1] + 0.023}
• Very Inverse (ANSI/IEEE type VI): t = t >inv · {3.922 / [(I/I>inv)2 - 1] + 0.098}
• Extremely Inverse (ANSI/IEEE type EI): t = t >inv · {5.64 / [(I/I>inv)2 - 1] + 0.024}
• I-squared-t (I 2 t = K): t = 16 · t >inv / (I/I>inv)2
Where:
t: operate time
I>inv : threshold setting
t >inv : operate time setting

General operation time characteristic for the phase overcurrent elements - 50/51 t-int-F50-51.ai

For all inverse time characteristics, following data applies:


• Asymptotic reference value (minimum pickup value): 1.1 I>inv
• Minimum operate time: 0.1 s
• Range where the equation is valid:[1] 1.1 ≤ I/I>inv ≤ 20

For all definite time elements the upper limit for measuring is 40 In for traditional CT input versions or
12.5 kA (primary current) for LPCT input versions (e.g. 25 In with In = 500 A).
All overcurrent elements can be enabled or disabled by setting the relative start and/or trip output to
a selectable relay inside the Set \ Relays menu.
The first overcurrent element can be programmed with inverse time characteristic by setting the
I>Curve parameter (DEFINITE, IEC/BS A, IEC/BS B, IEC/BS C, ANSI/IEEE MI, ANSI/IEEE
VI, ANSI/IEEE EI, I2T) available inside the Set \ 50/51 menu.

Residual overcurrent - 50N/51N
Preface
The residual current is:
• Measured for NA011#xxx2 and NA011#xxx3 versions from one residual current input with second-
ary nominal current selectable at 1 A or 5 A through DIP-switches or,

• Minimum operate time: 0.1 s
• Range where the equation is valid:[1] 1.1 ≤ IE /IE >inv ≤ 20
• If IE >inv pickup ≥ 2.5 IEn, the upper limit is 10 IEn

For all definite time elements the upper limit for measuring is 10 IEn for version with CTs inputs and

Breaker failure - BF
Preface
When the protection issues a trip command but, because an anomaly, the circuit breaker cannot
open, the breaker failure protection issues a back-up trip command to trip adjacent circuit break-
ers.
The breaker failure function may be started by internal protective function if associated with BF.
Operation and settings
The starting of the timer occurs if both the following conditions are filled:
A) Start and trip of internal protective elements (trip of elements matched with BF protection);
B) The CB is closed (the CB state may be acquired by means one or two binary inputs connected to
the auxiliary contacts 52a and 52b).

If both conditions are held along the set operate time t BF, the BF element trips at deadline, vice versa
the timer is cleared and the function is restored.
To the purpose to restore the BF element as quickly as possible, with start of the same protection
(see A condition), additionally to the trip of some internal protections, their starts are required (start
reset is faster than trip reset).

The element may be disabled or enabled by associating to the BF Enable parameter the Trip I>,
trip I>>, trip I>>>, trip IE>, trip IE>> and/or Trip EXT parameter.

Automatic reclosure - 79
Preface
The automatic reclosure function is well-used on overhead lines (when faults are self-extinguish
after tripping of protection relays).
To activate the Auto-reclose function the CB state acquisition must be enabled!

Operation and settings[1]


The following sequences may be selected:
• Rapid reclosure,
• Rapid reclosure + slow reclosure
• Rapid reclosure + slow reclosure followed by one or more delayed reclosures (1...5).
Starting of the automatic reclosing function can be raised by internal protective elements or exter-
nally by means binary input signals (eg: external protection device contacts or operating switches).

The following logics may be set (binary input IN3 allocation):


• External trip; activation command (pulse),
• Enabling; activation command (On = Enable).
The element may be enabled or disabled by setting ON the 79 Enable parameter available inside
the Set \ AutoReclose-79 menu.

The following output functions may be drive the output relays:


• CB reclosing command (79 Close); it is needful for the auto reclosure function.
• Cycle in progress (79 Run).
• Reclosure fail (79 Fail).
The following timers are provided:
• trdt Rapid reclosure dead time
• tsdt Slow reclosure dead time
• tr Reclaim time
• td Slow reclosure fault discrimination time

Note 1 The CB state acquisition must be enabled; if CB check = None the 79 function is disabled

FUNCTION CHARACTERISTICS NA011- Manual - 10 - 2013 41


• Rapid reclosure dead time (trdt )[1]
It is the time interval from the CB opening command and the CB reclosing command.
The setting time for the rapid reclosure is a compromise from the time required for the arc extinc-
tion on the fault location and the max allowable out of service time of the line.
The parameter must be adjusted on the basis of the extension and grid voltage. The minimum value
should allow the arc deionization and the insulation restoring in order to comply with the mechani-
cal characteristics of the circuit breaker and the residual arc extinction.

• Slow reclosure dead time (tsdt )[2]


It is the time interval from the failed fast reclosure and the start of slow reclosure sequence.
The setting time for the waiting time is a function of the mechanical characteristics of the circuit
breaker (data must be supplied by manufacturer). For newest circuit breakers typical values are
60 s and 180 s for oldest circuit breakers.

• Reclaim time (tr)


It is the time interval following the initiation of reclosure command.
If no trip operation arises within the reclaim time the reclosing operation is regarded as successful
and the device is ready for a new sequence.
If any trip arises within the reclaim time the cycle goes on with sequence depending from the
setting mode.
• Slow reclosure fault discrimination time (td).
If any trip arises within the time interval td, the cycle goes off and the failed reclosure is issued.

Rapid reclosing
With Rapid-reclose setting (79 Mode = Rapid), if no faults (CB opening command) occurs within the
reclaim time (Successful rapid reclosure), after the reclaim time the system comes back to reset; a
new trip starts a rapid reclosing sequence again. Any trip within the tr time interval causes a block-
ing of the sequence and a failed reclosure signal is issued (unsuccessful rapid reclosure);

With Rapid+Slow reclose setting (79 Mode = Rapid+Slow) if a fault (CB opening command) oc-
curs within the reclaim time, after the slow reclosure dead time (tsdt ) a slow reclosure is operated.

Test
The test function allows the checking of each 50-51 and 50N-51N protection function threshold by
means of the introduction of a dummy signal, with twice the setting threshold value and duration as
to cause the start and/or tripping of the threshold itself, into the input circuit stages of the relay.
This test does not include checking the system measuring transformers and the relevant connec-
tions to the digital protection relay.
Having activated the test function mode, the threshold relating to the protective function to be
checked and the relevant test method must be selected. The latter may or may not include changing
the status of the output relays assigned as the selected threshold start and /or trip.
For the thresholds relating to protective functions 50 and 51 the dummy signal is applied simultane-
ously over all phases.
Example, with setting t>inv = 1 s, the operate time for the first element 50/51is:
• 10 s with IEC/BS A characteristic
• 13.5 s with IEC/BS B characteristic
• 26.6 s with IEC/BS C characteristic

In cases involving selection of the test mode without any changes in the status of the output relays
(“blank” Testing), upon tripping of the selected threshold, the corresponding LED is lit and the test
outcome recorded as the most recent event. The test condition is shown by means of the blinking
green LED ON.[1]

• Test I> led


• Test I>> led
• Test I>>> led
• Test IE> led
• Test IE>> led
In cases involving selection of the test mode with changes in the status of the output relays, at
the start and/or tripping of the selected threshold the corresponding programmed output relay is
switched, the corresponding LED lit and the outcome recorded as the most recent event. The test
condition is shown by means of the blinking green ON.[2]
• Test I> full
• Test I>> full
• Test I>>> full
• Test IE> full

For both modes the test may be ended by means of the Test off command; in any case they are
ended after 2 minutes.

Self-test
Following information are available (Read \ Self test \ Info menu):

The relay self-test function classifies relay operational anomalies according to three levels:
- MINOR ANOMALY: The device continues to function within the possible limits with the protective
devices activated;
- MAJOR ANOMALY: Operation of the device may be corrected by the operator by resetting the
initial (default) configuration and hence the desired settings;
- FATAL ANOMALY: All logic and protective functions are inoperative and the relay must be returned
to the factory.
The internal self-test function is capable of detecting the following anomalies and indicating them
by means of messages:
- defective auxiliary power supply (FATAL ANOMALY);
- output relay coil breakage (FATAL ANOMALY);
- alteration of the calibration data stored in EEPROM memory (FATAL ANOMALY);
- alteration of the parameters (threshold setting, times, relays… etc.) in EEPROM memory (MAJOR
ANOMALY);
- alteration of the data (counters, records, ...etc.) in EEPROM memory (FATAL ANOMALY);
Upon detection of at least one of the above mentioned anomalies, the output relay programmed for
Self-test is switched and the information is recorded (latched).

Oscillography - DFR[3]
Upon programmable trigger, the fault records are recorded in COMTRADE format d; the sampled
measures (64 sample per cycle) are stored in a circular shift memory buffer.
The fault record are self-triggered; they are stored in sequential order up the allocated memory is

6.1 PACKAGING
Packaging consists of a paperboard packaging guaranteeing adequate protection for transport and
storage under normal environmental conditions.
The Pro-N protection relays must be stored within the required temperature limits; the relative hu-
midity should not cause condensation or formation of frost.
It is recommended that the devices are stored in their packaging; in the case of long storage, espe-
cially in extreme climatic conditions.
It is recommended that the packaging not be disposed of into the environment, but kept in case the
relay should be moved at some later time.

6.2 MOUNTING
The devices are housed inside metal cases suitable assembly:
• Flush mounting
• Rack9”.

Flush mounting
The fixed case, fitted with special fastening brackets, is mounted on the front of electric control
board, previously drilled as indicated in the drawing.
In case of side-by-side mounting of several relays the minimum drilling distance is determined by
the front dimensions indicated in the overall dimensions drawing, increased by 3 mm, to ensure an
adequate tolerance and gasket space between adjacent relays.
The depth dimension, as indicated in the drawing, must be increased by as much as needed to allow
room for the wiring.

Core balanced CT[1]
Proper installation is shown in fig. 1a and 1b.
The current balance transformer, when used for measuring residual current, must be crossed in the
same direction by all active conductors and hence, also by the neutral conductor if distributed, with
the exception of the ground connection protective conductor. The drawing below shows cases of
assembly of the toroid on unscreened and screened cables; prior to proceeding with assembly, it is
necessary to check that there are no screen-to-ground connections upstream of the sensor.

Current balanced transformer Toroide.ai

In order to ensure a linear response from the sensor, the cables must be positioned in the centre
of the transformer so that the magnetic effect of the three cables is perfectly compensated in the
absence of residual current (Fig.2a).
Hence, the assembly indicated in the drawing of fig.2b, in which phase L3 causes local magnetic
saturation whereby the vectorial sum of the three currents would be non-null, should be avoided.
The same considerations also apply when the sensor is positioned near bends in the cabling.
It is recommended that the transformer be placed away from bends in the conductors).
The use of a balance transformer with an inside diameter about twice the diameter of the the cable
going through it is recommended.

Earth
A protective ground connection is required, which must be connected to the suitable screw with a
separate lead of at least 2.5 mm2; the connection from A21 or a22 terminal and the ground srew is
also required.[1]

Earthing rear.ai

CT amperometric inputs
The amperometric input circuits are assembled inside the fixed module, so no short circuit on the
secondary CTs must be provided when the removable module is pulled out
In the event of case replacement, some camps must be provided externally to shorting the second-
ary CTs circuits to avoid secondary open circuit of CTs that may endanger equipment or people.

CAUTION In case of disconnection CT wiring to the case, pay attention must to do not open live circuits.

When making the current connections, attention must be paid to not exceeding the performance
of the line current transformers. To be exact, the total load, constituted by the protective relay, any
other protective relays or measuring instruments and the resistance of the connections, must not ex-
ceed the line CT performance. In particular, consumption of the relay input circuit must not exceed
0.2 VA while the load (expressed in VA) constituted by the conductors is given by:

0.018 × L × In 2 / S
where:
L the overall length, expressed in m, of the two conductors in relation to each phase;
In nominal current of the line CT expressed in A;
S cross sectional area of the current conductors expressed in mm2.
It is recommended that cabling of a suitable thickness be used in order to limit wear of the CT sec-
ondary circuits.

LPCT amperometric inputs


The amperometric input are designed for Low Power Current Transformer with 100 A - 22.5 mv ratio.
Connections to NA011 device must be carried out by means RJ45 plugs, forming a part of the Trans-
former.[2]

Note 1 The A21 and A22 terminal are link together inside the relay
Nota 2 For technical data please call Thytronic.

INSTALLATION NA011- Manual - 10 - 2013 53


Binary inputs
The dry input circuits, despite being galvanically isolated, must preferably be supplied with the same
auxiliary voltage of the control panel.
The inputs are polarity free with wide voltage range.

The optocupled inputs are immune to transitory interferences, however the following recommenda-
tion must be considered in high disturbed environments:
• Position input wiring away from high energy sources.
• Use shielded cables with ground connection on only one end (preferably at the relay side.

Output relays
Four output relays are available (SPDT, type C):
• K1, K2 and K4 (trip relays).
• K3 (signalling relay).
It is advisable to verify that the technical characteristic of the contacts be suitable for the applied
load (about current, nominal voltage, make and break current , etc..).
All contacts are shown in de-energized state for standard reference

RS232 port
The link from PC and NA011 serial port must be established by means a L10041 cable.

When no RS232 port is available on Personal Computer, a suitable USB to RS232 converter must be
employed.
After installation, the same communication port must be selected to define the Thysetter parameters
(typically COM4, COM5,...).

54 NA011- Manual - 10 - 2013 INSTALLATION


RS485 port
RS485 communication circuit connections must be made using screened twisted pair cable observ-
ing the polarities; screening must only be connected to the end terminating at the RS485 interface
circuit pertaining to the monitoring unit.
It is recommended to terminate the line at the extremities of the same; this must be performed on the
RS485 line control unit and on the NA011 device placed at the furthest point connecting the specially
provided resistor; termination can be made by means a jumper between the E1-E2 terminals.
Termination resistors allow adjusting the impedance of the line, reducing the influence of the induc-
tive components of the same, which might compromise good communication.

7.4 MAINTENANCE

The devices do not require any particular maintenance; all circuits use high quality static com-
ponents, the subassembly products undergo dynamic checks on their functioning before the final
assembling of the complete equipment. The dedicated circuits and the firmware for the self-test
function continuously check the relay operation; the continuously operating auto-zeroing function
dynamically corrects the measuring errors due to offset, heat dependent drifts, aging of components,
etc.
The microprocessor is equipped with a watch-dog circuit which restores the correct operation of
the firmware in case of fault.
The possibility of reading the value of the signals measured on the display (the relay used as an am-
meter) allows one to check both the system parameters and the operation of the protection relays at
any time. The relay can be preset as well to show the current values referred to the nominal current
of the current transformers, as directly in primary amperes (according to the preset value of CT’s
nominal primary current); the same is done for the input voltages.
If connected to the central control unit, all data available on the display can be checked and pro-
cessed thus performing a continuous check and maintenance.

7.5 REPAIR
No repair of possible faults by the client is foreseen; if following to any irregularity of operation, the
above tests confirm the presence of a fault, it will be necessary to send the relay to the factory for
the repair and the consequent settings and checks.

7.6 PACKAGING
The devices must be stored within the required temperature limits; the relative humidity should not
cause condensation or formation of frost.
It is recommended that the devices are stored in their packaging; in the case of long storage, espe-
cially in extreme climatic conditions, it is recommended that the device is supplied with power for
some hours before the commissioning, in order to bring the circuits to the rating conditions and to
stabilize the operation of the components.

8 APPENDIX
8.1 APPENDIX A1 - Inverse time IEC curves
‡ Mathematical formula
The mathematical formula, according the IEC 60255-3/BS142 standards is:[1]

K
t = t> inv ·
[(I/I> inv)α-1]

Where:
• t = operate time (in seconds)
• t I>inv = setting time multiplier (in seconds)
• I = input current
• I>inv = threshold setting

K coefficient:
• K = 0.14 for IEC-A curve (Normal inverse)
• K = 13.5 for IEC-B curve (Very inverse)
• K = 80 for IEC-C curve (Extremely inverse)

α curve shape constant:


• α = 0.02 for IEC-A curve (Normal inverse)
• α = 1 for IEC-B curve (Very inverse)
• α = 2 for IEC-C curve (Extremely inverse)

For all inverse time characteristics, following data applies:


• Asymptotic reference value (minimum pickup value): 1.1 I>inv
• Minimum operate time: 0.1 s
• Range where the equation is valid:[2][3] 1.1 ≤ I /I>inv ≤ 20
• If I> pickup ≥ 2.5 In, the upper limit is 50 In

Note 1 Symbols are concerning the overcurrent element. The comprehensive overview of the inverse time characteristics concerning the 50/51 and
50N/51N elements is dealt within the PROTECTIVE ELEMENTS section
Note 2 When the input value is more than 20 times the set point , the operate time is limited to the value corresponding to 20 times the set point
Nota 3 With setting more than 2.5 In for the 50/51 elements and 0.5 IEn for the 50N/51N elements, the upper limit of the measuring range is limited to 50
In and 10 IEn respectively.

8.3 APPENDIX A3 - Inverse time I2t curves
‡ Formula generale
The mathematical formula for I-squared-t (I2t) is:[1]

16
t = t>inv ·
(I/I> inv)2]

Where:
• t = operate time (in seconds)
• t I>inv = setting time multiplier (in seconds)
• I = input current
• I>inv = threshold setting

For all inverse time characteristics, following data applies:


• Asymptotic reference value (minimum pickup value): 1.1 I>inv
• Minimum operate time: 0.1 s
• Range where the equation is valid:[2][3] 1.1 ≤ I/I>inv ≤ 20

Note 1 Symbols are concerning the overcurrent element. The comprehensive overview of the inverse time characteristics concerning the 50/51 and
50N/51N elements is dealt within the PROTECTIVE ELEMENTS section
Note 2 When the input value is more than 20 times the set point , the operate time is limited to the value corresponding to 20 times the set point
Nota 3 With setting more than 2.5 In for the 50/51 elements and 0.5 IEn for the 50N/51N elements, the upper limit of the measuring range is limited to 50
In and 10 IEn respectively.
