STANDARD FEATURES

Time Overcurrent 

Time overcurrent elements pick up over a range of 0.1 to 0.8 amperes, 0.3 to 2.4 amperes, 0.5 to 4.0
amperes, 1.5 to 12.0 amperes, 0.1 to 2.4 amperes, or 0.5 to 12.0 amperes and provide an adjustable time
delay that is proportional to the overcurrent.  Time delay is initiated when the sensed current exceeds the
pickup point.  When the current drops below the pickup point, the timing circuit is reset immediately.  At
reset, the output contacts, if operated, are restored to normal.

Adjustment of the overcurrent pickup point is provided by controls on the relay front panel. Time delay is a
function of the characteristic curve that has been selected.  Time delay is settable from 00 to 99 on the front
panel 

Time DIAL

 thumbwheel switch.  Curve type is either selected as an option or, in some models, is

switch selectable.
