    The document describes Sachdev's model for representing relay time-current curves through a system of equations. Equation F.1 defines the time-current curve for a time setting of 1.0 using coefficients A0 through A4 determined through curve fitting of manufacturer data. Equation F.2 relates a correction factor F to time settings for a constant current using coefficients B0 through B3 from additional manufacturer data. Equation F.3 calculates the operating time TOP for any time setting by multiplying F and T.

    APPENDIX F

    MODELLING OF RELAY CHARACTERISTICS


    Sachdev's model requires the following equations to represent the family of time-current
    curves of a relay:

    T = A0 + A1/(I-1) + A2/(I-1)2 + A3/(I-1)3 + A4/(I-1)4 (F.1)

    F = B0 + B1(TS) + B2(TS)2+B3(TS)3 (F.2)

    TOP = F * T (F.3)

    WHERE:

    T = is the operating time (s) for the curve corresponding to the maximum time setting (max
    is) specified in page 1.

    I = is the current, expressed as a multiple of the plug setting value.

    A 0 ... A 4 = are constant coefficients for a given relay.

    TS = is the time setting value.

    F = is a correction factor for the operating time.

    B 0 ... B 3 = are constant coefficients for a given relay.

    TOP = is the operating time, in seconds for any time setting.

    Equation (F.1) presents the time-current curve for a time setting (TS) of 1.0, and its
    coefficients (A0 ... A4) are calculated using the least squares curve-fitting routine from the
    data points (I ,T) entered by the user. These points may be obtained directly from the
    manufacture's curves.

    Equation (F.2) relates the factor F, defined in equation (F.3) as TOP/T, with the time settings
    for a constant current. It provides a correction factor for the result of equation (F.1) to

    PASHA USER MANUAL APPENDIX F

    calculate the operating time for any given time setting.

    The coefficients B0 ... B3 are also determined by the curve-fitting routine from the data pairs
    entered by the user. This process is straightforward, since it uses quantities which can be read
    directly from the manufacturer's characteristics: time setting and operating time (IS, TOP) for
    a constant current.

    The computer generates the required values of the factor 'F' by dividing the operating times
    by the operating time corresponding to the maximum time setting and the same current. A
    current of 3.0 (expressed as a multiple of plug setting) has been found to give the best results
    for this calculation.
