Time–Current Curves (cont’d)
High-Current Lockout
Figure 17 shows an example of sequence modification as a
result of High-Current Lockout. High-Current Lockout is
available in multipliers of 1 to 30 in increments of 1. Refer to
Access Codes 140 and 143 for interrogation and programming.
TCC Modification Limits
When modifying time–current curves, caution must be exer-
cised so that the modified curve does not exceed the short-
time current limits of the recloser. Consideration should be
given to the High-Current Trip and Lockout features when pro-
gramming very long timing curves with very high minimum trip
values.
