Time-Current Curves With Excel II

The document discusses plotting a normal inverse time-current curve from sample data points measuring current (I) over time (t) using Microsoft Excel. It provides the sample data points and explains that the data should be plotted on an XY scatter graph with the points connected without markers to resemble Figure 1. However, for a graph like Figure 2, the data must be separated into multiple data series before plotting. The next part of the tutorial will cover calculating different types of inverse time-current curves.

Time-Current Curves with Excel II

In this part of the tutorial, we shall be able to produce a Normal Inverse time-
current curve. Given the values below, we will be plotting the values on an XY
Scatter graph with data points connected without markers.

Normal Inverse Curve 400A Setting

I (A) t (s)
600 2.75
800 1.60
1200 1.01
1600 0.80
1600 0.80
1600 0.14
4800 0.14
4800 0.10

Try plotting the values and I presume that you will be getting a graph similar to
Figure 1.

Figure 1

To plot a graph similar to Figure 2, the technique is to chunk the data into
separate data series.
Data Series 1

I (A) t (s)
600 2.75
800 1.60
1200 1.01
1600 0.80
Data Series 2

I (A) t (s)
1600 0.80
1600 0.14
Data Series 3

I (A) t (s)
1600 0.14
4800 0.14
Data Series 4

I (A) t (s)
4800 0.14
4800 0.10

Figure 2
As I have said in the first part of this tutorial, I presume that you know how to use
MS Excel. In the next part, we shall be learning about how to calculate curves for
normal inverse, very inverse, extreme inverse and long time inverse.
