The operate times for the standard undervoltage IDMT curves are defined with the coefficients A, B, C, D and E.
The inverse operate time can be calculated with the formula:
Figure 1. Equation| t [s] | Operate time in seconds |
| U | Measured voltage |
| U< | Set value of the Start value setting |
| k | Set value of the Time multiplier setting |
