INTRODUCTION
2 GENERAL
Preface
The relay type NA016 can be used in radial networks as feeder or power transformer protection.
In solidly grounded systems the residual overcurrent protection can be used on feeders of any length,
while in ungrounded or Petersen coil and/or resistance grounded systems, the residual overcurrent
protection can be used on feeders of small length in order to avoid unwanted trippings due to the
capacitive current contribution of the feeder on external ground fault.
The NA016 protection relay may be shipped with traditional CTs or low power (LPCT) current inputs.
Following input circuits are available:

• Three phase current and one residual current inputs with nominal currents independently select-
able at 1 A or 5 A using DIP-switch (CT inputs) or 50...1250 primary amperes (LPCT inputs).
• Three binary inputs.
In addition to the main protection element, the Trip Circuit Supervision (TCS) is also provided.
Setting, programming and reading operations must be effected by means of Personal Computer with
ThyVisor software or by means of remote communication interface (RS485 bus); all operations must
be performed through MMI.
The NA016 hardware case is suitable for flash and rack mounting
Other options are:
• Auxiliary power supply operating range.
• Communication protocols (Modbus or IEC60870-5-103).

Main features
• Metallic case.
• Backlight LCD 2x16 Display.
• Eight LEDs that may be joined with matrix criteria to many and various functions.
• RESET key to clear LED indications and latched output relays.
• Free settable three binary inputs.
• Independently settable for start, trip, self-test and control four output relay (K1...K4) Each output
relay may be set with normally energized or normally de-energized operating mode and manual or
automatic reset (latched/no-latched).
• Rear RS485 port, with ModBus protocol.
• RS232 front serial port (local communication for ThyVisor).
• Real time clock with super capacitor backup.
The most significant constructive features are:

• Galvanically insulated input and output circuits (communication and binary circuits included).
• Fast sampling rate for inputs.
• Optimum filtering of input signals through combined use of analog and digital filters.
• Traditional electromechanical-type final output contacts with continuous monitoring of control coil
continuity.
• Auxiliary supply comprising a switching-type voltage stabilizing circuit having a very wide working
range and a very small power dissipation
• Nominal frequency: 50 or 60 Hz.
The most significant operating features are:

• Programming of operating modes and parameters by means of the front keys and alphanumeric
display, with a programming procedure based on carrying out guided selections and on explicit and
immediate signalling of the operations being performed, so that such procedure can be carried out
without coding tables or mnemonic informations.
• The feature modification operations do not interrupt the normal functions of the relay.
• Impossibility of programming unacceptable parameter values, thanks to the automatic limitation of
top and bottom scale values for the relative setting ranges.
• Currents are sampled 64 times per period and measured in the effective value (RMS) of the funda-
mental component using the DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) algorithm and digital filters.
• The fault recorder (SFR) runs continuously capturing in circular mode the last twenty events upon
trigger of binary input/output and/or element pickup (start-trip).
• The event recorder (SER) runs continuously capturing in circular mode the last three hundred
events upon trigger of binary input/output.
• Recording of the last setting changes (Logger).
• Digital fault recorder (DFR) in COMTRADE format (oscillography).

4.2 SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
The program which handles operation of the Pro-N relays is made up of three fundamental elements
shown in the following block diagram.
APPLICATION
DRIVERS
timers
sampling KERNEL
Kernel
The kernel represents the nucleus of the system: it includes the processing functions closest to the
electronic circuits; particularly the algorithms providing for the generation of the synchronisms (tim-
ers) for sampling the analogue signals and numerical processing.
The software is structured with interrupts operating with various priority levels in a non “pre-emp-
tive” task system. By means of Discrete Fourier Transform calculation, based on 32 samples/period,
information is deduced in relation to the amplitude and phase of all the current measurements; these
are constantly updated and at the disposal of all the protection and control application algorithms.
In addition, the kernel manages a service communication protocol known as Basic Protocol (BP).
Drivers
The driver library contains all the specialised modules for the command and control functions which
make up the connection ring between the kernel and the application. Examples of drivers include the
Modbus communication and LCD display modules.
Application
The application contains all the elements which carry out the protection and control functions.
The main modules are:
- diagnostic function,
- input management (logical inputs and block signal),
- protective functions,
- event recording,
- output management (output relays, LEDs and block signals).
Each element (Kernel, Drivers and Application) may, in turn, be split into modules:
Base protocol (kernel)

The module known as the Basic Protocol (BP) manages the service communication between the
kernel and the other modules through the communication buses:
- direct for internal functional call,
- SPI over synchronous serial,
- SCI over asynchronous serial.
The activities which may be performed by means of BP include:
- measurement configuration ,
- measurement reading,
- measurement enabling.
Calibration (kernel)
Calibration is performed using the base protocol functions for coordinating the calibration and test-
ing stages with the automatic testing equipement (ATE).
Communication (drivers)
The protective device implements the MODBUS RTU protocol for communicating via the RS232 inter-
face with the ThyVisor setting software and via the RS485 interface with the field bus.
All major codes according to the Modbus standard are envisaged; for a complete description and
map of the addresses, please refer to the appendix mentioned further in this manual.
MMI (drivers)
This handles the menus, available both on the panel and by means of Modbus messages, which
may be run from commands using the keyboard, LEDs and LCD display.
MMI information is stored in EEPROM and may be loaded remotely by means of the basic protocol
functions.
NA016 - Manual - 05 - 2022 19

Data Base (application/drivers)
Using modular criteria, the database is structured in three sections:
- RAM containing the volatile data,
- REE and PAR containing the data recorded in non-volatile memory.
Duplication of the data into two memory banks is envisaged with a continuous control system based
on the cross checking of the consistency of the stored data. Modification of the calibration pa-
rameters is split into two stages; in particular, data undergoing modification is placed in temporary
memory and subsequently confirmed permanently (Store command) or discarded (Clear command).
Instead, the area identified as REE is set aside for recording data which does not require the Store
command for storage, or date written directly by the application (e.g.: counters,...)
Self-test (application)
This function cyclically monitors the operation of the main hardware and software functions without
affecting the process cycle with any significant delays.
In particular, the functions monitored are the following,
- the reference voltage levels,
- output relay coil continuity,
- the program flow control by monitoring the execution times and stack area occupancy,
- checking the pilot wires (accelerated logic system),
- the consistency of the data in the REE and PAR blocks, duplicated in the EEPROM.
Development tools
For the development of the project, a CASE instrument has been developed, responsible for the opti-
mized production of software code for the management of collaboration, the database and the MMI
data and the Xml files used for communication. The automatic code generation criteria ensures the
quality of the result in terms of the reusability, verifiability and maintainability of the software life
cycle.

Output relays
Four output relays are available (K1...K4) with two changeover contacts (SPDT, type C):[1]
• K1, K2 and K4 are trip relays.
• K3, is a signalling relay.[2]
Each output relay may be programmed with following operating mode:
• Operation MODE (No latched, Latched).
• Logic (Energized/De-energized).
To each output relay a programmable timer is matched (Minimum pulse width parameter).
All parameters are available inside the Set \ Relays menu.

No-latched operation
t TR Minimum pulse width
Latched operation
Output relay operation Relay-operation-timers.ai
Any change to the settings can be affected at any time, also with the relay on duty, separately for
each relay.
Notes:
• When de-energized operating mode is set, the relay remains in rest condition if no trip command
is in progress.
• When energized operating mode is set, the relay remains in operating condition if no trip command
is in progress and the auxiliary supply is powered on.
• When no-latched operating mode is set (Kx Mode No-latched), the output relay reset at the end
of the trip condition. To each output relay a programmable timer is matched (minimum pulse width
operation).
• When latched operating mode is set Kx Mode Latched, the output relay doesn’t reset at the end
of the trip condition; it stays ON until a reset command is issued (RESET key, ThyVisor or commu-
nication command).
• It is advisable to make sure that the output contact technical data are suitable for load (Nominal
current, breaking capacity, make current, switching voltage,...).
Matching every output relay to any protective element is freely programmable inside the Setpoints
submenus according a tripping matrix structure.[3][4]

Several protocol are implemented:
• ModBus RTU. Modbus is a serial communications protocol. It is a de facto standard communica-
tions protocol in industry, and is now the most commonly available means of connecting industrial
electronic devices also inside electric utilities and substation.
• IEC 60870-5. The IEC 60870-5 suite of protocol is used for communications from master station to
substation, as well within the substation; the IEC 60870-5-103 (Protection equipment) is available

Phase overcurrent - 50/51
Preface
Three operation thresholds, independently adjustable (I>, I>>, I>>>) with adjustable delay
(t >, t >>, t >>>).
The first one may be programmed with inverse time according the IEC 60255-3/BS142 standard.
The second and third thresholds have a definite time characteristic.
For the definite time thresholds a reset time can be set (t>>RES, t>>>RES) useful to reduce the clearing
time for intermittent faults.
Operation and settings
Each phase fundamental frequency current is compared with the setting value. Currents above the
associated pickup value are detected and a start is issued. After expiry of the associated operate
time a trip command is issued; if instead the current drops below the threshold, the element is re-
stored.
The first threshold (I>) may be programmed with definite or inverse time according the following
characteristic curves:
• Standard Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type A or SIT): t = 0.14 · t >inv / [(I/I>inv)0.02 - 1]
• Very Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type B or VIT): t = 13.5 · t >inv / [(I/I>inv) - 1]
• Extremely Inverse Time (IEC 255-3/BS142 type C or EIT): t = 80 · t >inv / [(I/I>inv)2 - 1]
Where:
t: operate time
I>inv : threshold setting
t >inv : operate time setting
I> inv
TRIP
t >> def
t >>> def
I> inv I>> def I>>> def I

General operation time characteristic for the phase overcurrent elements - 50/51 t-int-F50-51.ai
For all inverse time characteristics, following data applies:

• Asymptotic reference value (minimum pickup value): 1.1 I>inv
• Minimum operate time: 0.1 s
• Range where the equation is valid:[1] 1.1 ≤ I/I>inv ≤ 20
For all definite time elements the upper limit for measuring is 40 In for traditional CT input versions or
12.5 kA (primary current) for LPCT input versions (e.g. 25 In with In = 500 A).
All overcurrent elements can be enabled or disabled by setting the relative start and/or trip output to
a selectable relay inside the Set \ Relays menu.
The first overcurrent element can be programmed with inverse time characteristic by setting the
I>Curve parameter (DEFINITE, IEC/BS A, IEC/BS B, IEC/BS C) available inside the Set \ 50/51
menu.
An adjustable reset time delay is provided for second and third threshold (t >> RES, t >>> RES).

Trip circuit supervision - 74TCS

Preface
The trip circuit can be monitored to signal possible anomalies that would lead to the missing opening
of circuit breaker when trip and/or operator command are issued.
Circuit interruption as well as missing of auxiliary voltage and/or coil faults are detected.
The 74TCS element may be enabled or disabled; to enable it, the 74TCS Enable parameter must be
set to ON inside the Set \ Circuit breaker menu.
By means of the right sizing of a resistor, the trip circuit supervision may be performed even with
lower control voltage (e.g. when the control voltage is less than 36 V required for driving of two
binary inputs, typically UAUX = 24V). The binary input is connected to the trip and an external resistor
must be connected the 52b auxiliary contact.

The fault condition of the trip circuit is detected by binary input power down.
With healthy circuit and TRIP contact closed, the binary input is feed across the 52a path (CB closed)
or across the resistor R and 52b path (CB open).
When the TRIP contact turns ON, the binary input becomes short-circuited; to avoid untimely opera-
tions the previous condition are checked every 80 ms and the output is issued after a 40 s delay in
order to allow the fault clearing and the consequent reset of the TRIP protection.
Outputs are reset to zero after 6 s from the TRIP contact open.[1]

How to calculate resistance

Both the following conditions must be filled:
1) The circuit breaker coil must no be powered when the CB is open and an open command is is-
sued;
2) The binary input is energized when the trip contact open.
1) If the circuit breaker is just open an unnecessary excitation must be avoided; the most critical
event arises when the TRIP contact is closed (e.g. manual or test command), so with minimal
series resistance. To avoid an unwanted excitation the series resistance must be higher than a
minimum value defined as:
Rmin = R TC · (UAUX - U TCmin) / U TCmin

where:
U TCmin: minimum coil excitation voltage
UAUX : auxiliary voltage
R TC : coil resistance
2) To energize the binary input circuit when the TRIP contact and CB open, the series resistance
must be lowerer than a maximum value defined as:
Rmax = [(UAUX - UDIGmin) / IDIG] - R TC

where:
UDIGmin: minimum binary input excitation voltage (18 V)
UAUX : auxiliary voltage
R TC : coil resistance
IDIG: binary input excitation current (0.003 A)
To satisfy the above requirements, the R value must be chosen between the Rmin and Rmax values;
typically the normalized value nearest the arithmetic mean:
R = (Rmin + Rmax) / 2
The power dissipated by the R resistor is:
PR = R · I 2 = R · [UAUX / (R + R TC)] 2
Example
UAUX = 110 Vcc (auxiliary voltage)
P TC = 50 W (coil power)
R TC = UAUX 2 / P TC = 242 Ω (coil resistance)
U TCmin = 77 V (minimum coil excitation voltage = 70% UAUX )
UDIGmin = 18 V (minimum binary input excitation voltage)
IDIG = 0.003 A (binary input excitation current)
Rmin = R TC · (UAUX - U TCmin) / U TCmin = 242 · (110 - 77) / 77 = 103.7 Ω
Rmax = [(UAUX - UDIGmin) / IDIG] - R TC = [(110 - 18) / 0.003] - 103.7 = 30563 Ω
R = (Rmin + Rmax) / 2 = (103.7 + 30563) / 2 = 15333 Ω ~ 15 k Ω
PR (Power dissipated by the R resistor) = UAUX 2 /R = 110 2 / 15000 = 0.8 W

PR = R · I 2 = R · [UAUX / (R + R TC)] 2
Note 1 The trip contact (TRIP) of the protection relays must be set with automatic reset (No-latched operating mode).

Circuit breaker supervision
Preface
By means 52a and 52b auxiliary contacts, the CB position is acquired. Depending on such information
the Open and/or Close commands can be safely issued by user.
The wrong congruity of the auxiliary contact is detected in run time mode (52a and 52b), by means of
two binary inputs; any failure is detect and stored inside the 100 events (Data Logger).

52a is the auxiliary contact in the breaker that is in the same position as the breaker (52a open = CB
open). It must be assigned to the IN2 binary input.
52b is the auxiliary contact in the breaker that is in the opposite position as the breaker (52b open =
CB closed)). It must be assigned to the IN1 binary input.

Test
The test function allows the checking of each 50-51 and 50N-51N protection function threshold by
means of the introduction of a dummy signal, with twice the setting threshold value and duration as
to cause the start and/or tripping of the threshold itself, into the input circuit stages of the relay.
This test does not include checking the system measuring transformers and the relevant connec-
tions to the digital protection relay.
Having activated the test function mode, the threshold relating to the protective function to be
checked and the relevant test method must be selected. The latter may or may not include changing
the status of the output relays assigned as the selected threshold start and /or trip.
For the thresholds relating to protective functions 50 and 51 the dummy signal is applied simultane-
ously over all phases.
Example, with setting t>inv = 1 s, the operate time for the first element 50/51is:
• 10 s with IEC/BS A characteristic
• 13.5 s with IEC/BS B characteristic
• 26.6 s with IEC/BS C characteristic
In cases involving selection of the test mode without any changes in the status of the output relays
(“blank” Testing), upon tripping of the selected threshold, the corresponding LED is lit and the test
outcome recorded as the most recent event. The test condition is shown by means of the blinking
green LED ON.[1]
• Test I> led

• Test I>> led
• Test I>>> led
• Test IE> led
• Test IE>> led
In cases involving selection of the test mode with changes in the status of the output relays, at
the start and/or tripping of the selected threshold the corresponding programmed output relay is
switched, the corresponding LED lit and the outcome recorded as the most recent event. The test
condition is shown by means of the blinking green ON.[2]
• Test I> full
• Test I>> full
• Test I>>> full
• Test IE> full
• Test IE>> full
For both modes the test may be ended by means of the Test off command; in any case they are
ended after 2 minutes.

Self-test
Following information are available (Read \ Self test \ Info menu):
• Type
• Self-test cause
• Self-test latch
The relay self-test function classifies relay operational anomalies according to three levels:
- MINOR ANOMALY: The device continues to function within the possible limits with the protective
devices activated;
- MAJOR ANOMALY: Operation of the device may be corrected by the operator by resetting the
initial (default) configuration and hence the desired settings;
- FATAL ANOMALY: All logic and protective functions are inoperative and the relay must be returned
to the factory.
The internal self-test function is capable of detecting the following anomalies and indicating them
by means of messages:
- defective auxiliary power supply (FATAL ANOMALY);
- output relay coil breakage (FATAL ANOMALY);
- alteration of the calibration data stored in EEPROM memory (FATAL ANOMALY);
- alteration of the parameters (threshold setting, times, relays… etc.) in EEPROM memory (MAJOR
ANOMALY);
Note 1 The last change on settings ia stored inside memory addressed by the Last setting (1...10) parameter
NA016 - Manual - 05 - 2022 38
- alteration of the data (counters, records, ...etc.) in EEPROM memory (FATAL ANOMALY);
Upon detection of at least one of the above mentioned anomalies, the output relay programmed for
Self-test is switched and the information is recorded (latched).
Oscillography - DFR[1]
Upon programmable trigger, the fault records are recorded in COMTRADE[2] format; the sampled
measures (16 sample per cycle) are stored in a circular memory buffer.
The fault record are self-triggered; two records are stored in sequential order.
An operating procedure example for the digital fault recording is illustrated inside the ThyVisor sec-
tion.
Following parameters are user-programmable:[3]

• Pre-trigger time (0...63 T where T = number of power cycles; Example, with settings T=4 the pre-trig-
ger duration is 80 ms with f = 50 Hz).

• Selected sampled quantities.

• Analog channels (1...4) allocation.
• Digital channels allocation (output relay and/or binary inputs).
• Trigger setup; the information storage starts when a state transition on the selected signal occurs.
(protective element start and/or trip, output relay and/or binary input switching).
Since the buffer size fixed, the duration of the two recordings is variable and is then given the user-
defined setting, with the following parameters:
• Pre-trigger times (number of periods)
• Number of allocated channels.
Example 1
With the following setting:

6.1 PACKAGING
Packaging consists of a paperboard packaging guaranteeing adequate protection for transport and
storage under normal environmental conditions.
The Pro-N protection relays must be stored within the required temperature limits; the relative hu-
midity should not cause condensation or formation of frost.
It is recommended that the devices are stored in their packaging; in the case of long storage, espe-
cially in extreme climatic conditions.
It is recommended that the packaging not be disposed of into the environment, but kept in case the
relay should be moved at some later time.
6.2 MOUNTING
The devices are housed inside metal cases suitable assembly:
• Flush mounting
• Rack9”.
Flush mounting
The fixed case, fitted with special fastening brackets, is mounted on the front of electric control
board, previously drilled as indicated in the drawing.
In case of side-by-side mounting of several relays the minimum drilling distance is determined by
the front dimensions indicated in the overall dimensions drawing, increased by 3 mm, to ensure an
adequate tolerance and gasket space between adjacent relays.
The depth dimension, as indicated in the drawing, must be increased by as much as needed to allow
room for the wiring.

INSTALLATION
Core balanced CT
Proper installation is shown in fig. 1a and 1b.
The current balance transformer, when used for measuring residual current, must be crossed in the
same direction by all active conductors and hence, also by the neutral conductor if distributed, with
the exception of the ground connection protective conductor. The drawing below shows cases of
assembly of the toroid on unscreened and screened cables; prior to proceeding with assembly, it is
necessary to check that there are no screen-to-ground connections upstream of the sensor.

Current balanced transformer Toroide.ai
In order to ensure a linear response from the sensor, the cables must be positioned in the centre
of the transformer so that the magnetic effect of the three cables is perfectly compensated in the
absence of residual current (Fig.2a).
Hence, the assembly indicated in the drawing of fig.2b, in which phase L3 causes local magnetic
saturation whereby the vectorial sum of the three currents would be non-null, should be avoided.
The same considerations also apply when the sensor is positioned near bends in the cabling.
It is recommended that the transformer be placed away from bends in the conductors).
The use of a balance transformer with an inside diameter about twice the diameter of the the cable
going through it is recommended.

A protective ground connection is required, which must be connected to the suitable screw with a
separate lead of at least 2.5 mm2; the connection from A21 or a22 terminal and the ground srew is
also required.[1]
Ground screw
Earthing rear.ai
CT amperometric inputs
The amperometric input circuits are assembled inside the fixed module, so no short circuit on the
secondary CTs must be provided when the removable module is pulled out
In the event of case replacement, some camps must be provided externally to shorting the second-
ary CTs circuits to avoid secondary open circuit of CTs that may endanger equipment or people.
CAUTION In case of disconnection CT wiring to the case, pay attention must to do not open live circuits.
When making the current connections, attention must be paid to not exceeding the performance
of the line current transformers. To be exact, the total load, constituted by the protective relay, any
other protective relays or measuring instruments and the resistance of the connections, must not ex-
ceed the line CT performance. In particular, consumption of the relay input circuit must not exceed
0.2 VA while the load (expressed in VA) constituted by the conductors is given by:
0.018 × L × In 2 / S
where:
L the overall length, expressed in m, of the two conductors in relation to each phase;
In nominal current of the line CT expressed in A;
S cross sectional area of the current conductors expressed in mm2.
It is recommended that cabling of a suitable thickness be used in order to limit wear of the CT sec-
ondary circuits.
LPCT amperometric inputs

The amperometric input are designed for Low Power Current Transformer with 100 A - 22.5 mv ratio.
Connections to NA016 device must be carried out by means RJ45 plugs, forming a part of the Trans-
former.[2]
Note 1 The A21 and A22 terminal are link together inside the relay

The optocupled inputs are immune to transitory interferences, however the following recommenda-
tion must be considered in high disturbed environments:
• Position input wiring away from high energy sources.
• Use shielded cables with ground connection on only one end (preferably at the relay side.
Output relays
Four output relays are available (SPDT, type C):
• K1, K2 and K4 (trip relays).
• K3 (signalling relay).
It is advisable to verify that the technical characteristic of the contacts be suitable for the applied
load (about current, nominal voltage, make and break current , etc..).
All contacts are shown in de-energized state for standard reference

NA016 - Manual - 05 - 2022 46

INSTALLATION
RS485 port
RS485 communication circuit connections must be made using screened twisted pair cable observ-
ing the polarities; screening must only be connected to the end terminating at the RS485 interface
circuit pertaining to the monitoring unit.
It is recommended to terminate the line at the extremities of the same; this must be performed on the
RS485 line control unit and on the NA016 device placed at the furthest point connecting the specially
provided resistor; termination can be made by means a jumper between the E1-E2 terminals.
Termination resistors allow adjusting the impedance of the line, reducing the influence of the induc-
tive components of the same, which might compromise good communication.

In case of any anomalies detected by the self-test function, where configuration data has become
corrupted, it is possible to restore the factory default settings. In particular, using the command “Set
default PAR”, the calibration data is restored (thresholds, times, output relay assignment etc), whilst
with the command “Set default REE” all the updated variables (counters, ...etc) and the serial com-
munication parameters are automatically reset.
Except for extraordinary situations, it is not necessary to use such commands which in any case
allow the restoration of the factory set default values following an anomaly.
Following use of this command, it is necessary to then proceed with the setting of the desired set-
tings and/or the calibration of the voltages just as in the case for first installation.

7.4 MAINTENANCE
The devices do not require any particular maintenance; all circuits use high quality static com-
ponents, the subassembly products undergo dynamic checks on their functioning before the final
assembling of the complete equipment. The dedicated circuits and the firmware for the self-test
function continuously check the relay operation; the continuously operating auto-zeroing function
dynamically corrects the measuring errors due to offset, heat dependent drifts, aging of components,
etc.
The microprocessor is equipped with a watch-dog circuit which restores the correct operation of
the firmware in case of fault.
The possibility of reading the value of the signals measured on the display (the relay used as an am-
meter) allows one to check both the system parameters and the operation of the protection relays at
any time. The relay can be preset as well to show the current values referred to the nominal current
of the current transformers, as directly in primary amperes (according to the preset value of CT’s
nominal primary current); the same is done for the input voltages.
If connected to the central control unit, all data available on the display can be checked and pro-
cessed thus performing a continuous check and maintenance.
7.5 REPAIR
No repair of possible faults by the client is foreseen; if following to any irregularity of operation, the
above tests confirm the presence of a fault, it will be necessary to send the relay to the factory for
the repair and the consequent settings and checks.
7.6 PACKAGING
The devices must be stored within the required temperature limits; the relative humidity should not
cause condensation or formation of frost.
It is recommended that the devices are stored in their packaging; in the case of long storage, espe-
cially in extreme climatic conditions, it is recommended that the device is supplied with power for
some hours before the commissioning, in order to bring the circuits to the rating conditions and to
stabilize the operation of the components.

8.1 APPENDIX A1 - Inverse time IEC curves
Mathematical formula
The mathematical formula, according the IEC 60255-3/BS142 standards is:[1]
K
t = t> inv ·
[(I/I> inv)α-1]
Where:
• t = operate time (in seconds)
• t I>inv = setting time multiplier (in seconds)
• I = input current
• I>inv = threshold setting
K coefficient:
• K = 0.14 for IEC-A curve (Normal inverse)
• K = 13.5 for IEC-B curve (Very inverse)
• K = 80 for IEC-C curve (Extremely inverse)
α curve shape constant:

• α = 0.02 for IEC-A curve (Normal inverse)
• α = 1 for IEC-B curve (Very inverse)
• α = 2 for IEC-C curve (Extremely inverse)
For all inverse time characteristics, following data applies:

• Asymptotic reference value (minimum pickup value): 1.1 I>inv
• Minimum operate time: 0.1 s
• Range where the equation is valid:[2][3] 1.1 ≤ I /I>inv ≤ 20
• If I> pickup ≥ 2.5 In, the upper limit is 50 In
Note 1 Symbols are concerning the overcurrent element. The comprehensive overview of the inverse time characteristics concerning the 50/51 and
50N/51N elements is dealt within the PROTECTIVE ELEMENTS section
Note 2 When the input value is more than 20 times the set point , the operate time is limited to the value corresponding to 20 times the set point
Nota 3 With setting more than 2.5 In for the 50/51 elements and 0.5 IEn for the 50N/51N elements, the upper limit of the measuring range is limited to 50
In and 10 IEn respectively.
