Non-standard delay characteristics
In addition to the previously mentioned delay characteristics, some functions also have delay
characteristics that deviate from the IEC or IEEE standards. These functions are the following:
• overcurrent stages
• residual overcurrent stages
• directional overcurrent stages
• directional residual overcurrent stages.
The setting parameters and their ranges are documented in the chapters of the respective function
blocks.

RI-type
RD-type
Used to get time grading with
mechanical relays
Mostly used in earth fault protection which grants selective tripping even in non-
directional protection
