Defines the inverse-time characteristics of overcurrent relays. Operating equations and allowances are provided in the standard. Defines an integral equation for microprocessor relays that assures coordination not only in the case of constant current input but for any current condition of varying magnitude. Electro-mechanical inverse-time overcurrent relay reset characteristics are defined, in the event that designers of microprocessor based relays and computer relays want to match the reset characteristics of the electromechanical relays.
