curve E (extremely inverse) selected (SW3-3 set to OFF) and the TIME DIAL set to 2.0. The feeder
reclosing relay is set for two reclose attempts at 3 and 15 seconds after the initial trip. If a permanent fault
occurs (magnitude ten times pickup), calculate the feeder breaker trip time for each of the three
operations. Refer to Section 1 for characteristic curve constants.
From the time characteristic curve equation.

Negative result indicates reset time.
Results: Full trip = 0.209 seconds and full reset = 15.5 seconds if current goes to zero.
