The inverse time delayed characteristics comply with the following formula (based on IEC60255-3
and IEEE Std C37.112-1996 standard).

�=( �/
((�/��)^�−�)+�)×𝐓𝐌�

Where:
k = Constant, the setting [50/51P4.K]. 13.50
α = Constant, the setting [50/51P4.Alpha]. 1.00
C = Constant, the setting [50/51P4.C].
t = Operation time . 3.186
I = Measured phase current. 0.30
Ip = current threshold setting 0.33
TMS = Time Multiply Setting 0.23

Ip is the current threshold setting; the current setting of the stage 4 overcurrent [50/51P4.I_Set]
is used as the Ip in this relay. If the stage 4 overcurrent protection is used as IDMT overcurrent
protection, the range of the setting [50/51P4.I_Set] is 0.05×In ~ 4×In.

Tp is the time multiplier setting; the multiplier setting of the IDMT overcurrent protection
[50/51P4.TMS] is used as Tp in this relay. If the stage 4 overcurrent protection is used as
IDMT overcurrent protection, the range of the setting [50/51P4.TMS] is 0.05 ~ 100.00.

Some recommended types of IDMT characteristic curves are applied in this relay. It is also can be
programmed according to the demand of the special practical application through the
PCS-Explorer configuration tool auxiliary software.
The setting [50/51P4.Opt_Curve] can be used to select the expected curve.

If the setting [50/51P4.Opt_Curve] is set as “1” to “12”, these settings [50/51P4.K], [50/51P4.Alpha]
and [50/51P4.C] do not need to be set, and this relay will use these values as listed in above table.
