Cooper / ANSI Curve Association Chart

Slow Curve:
ANSI 51(P/N)
High Current Trip::
ANSI 50(P/N) -2
(Instantaneous)
Vertical Shift Multiplier:
Time Dial Setting (Moves
whole curve vertically)

t - Time

High Set (may be set to lockout):

ANSI 50(P/N)-3 (Instantaneous)

Constant Time Adder (Definite time):

can be added to curves as well as
Instantaneous.

Can be programmed
with a Constant Time
Adder (Definite time).

Fast Curve:
ANSI 50(P/N)-1
Use of "Adder" feature rotates line incrementally.
