4–180
The Percent of Load-to-Trip is calculated from the phase with the highest current reading.
It is the ratio of this current to the lowest pickup setting among the phase time and the
instantaneous overcurrent elements. If all of these elements are disabled, the value
displayed is "0".
The 869 relay TOC element can be configured with any of the IEEE, ANSI, IEC, and IAC
standard inverse curves, any of the four FlexCurves, or set to definite time. The selection of
Time Dial Multiplier (TDM) and minimum PKP, helps the user to fine tune the protection for
accurate upstream/downstream coordination and during certain conditions, such as
manual closing and Maintenance.
The settings of this function are applied to each of the three phases to produce Pickup and
Trip flags per phase. There is no intentional "dead band" when the current is above the
Pickup level. However the Pickup accuracy is guaranteed within the current input accuracy
of 1.5% above the set PKP value. The TOC Pickup flag is asserted, when the current on any
phase is above the PKP value. The TOC Trip flag is asserted if the element stays picked up
for the time defined by the selected inverse curve and the magnitude of the current. The
element drops from Pickup without operating if the measured current drops below 97 to
98% of the Pickup value before the time for operation is reached. When Definite Time is
selected, the time for TOC operation is defined only by the TDM setting. The selection of
TDM when in Definite Time mode sets the time to operate in seconds.

FUNCTION
Range: Disabled, Trip, Alarm, Latched Alarm, Configurable
Default: Disabled
INPUT
Range: Phasor, RMS
Default: Phasor
PICKUP
Range: 0.050 to 30.000 x CT in steps of 0.001 x CT
Default: 1.000 x CT
CURVE
Range:
IEEE Extremely/Very/Moderately Inverse;
ANSI Extremely/Very/Normally/Moderately Inverse;
Definite time
IEC A/B/C and Short Inverse;
IAC Extremely/Very/Inverse/Short Inverse;
FlexCurve A/B/C/D, I2t, I4t,
Default: IEEE Moderately Inverse
TDM
Range: 0.05 to 600.00 in steps of 0.01
Default: 1.00
The setting provides a selection for Time Dial Multiplier which modifies the operating
times per the selected inverse curve. For example, if an IEEE Extremely Inverse curve is
selected with TDM = 2, and the fault current is 5 times bigger than the PKP level, the
operation of the element will not occur before 2.59 s have elapsed after Pickup.
