5.7.4.2 Inverse TOC curve characteristics
The inverse time overcurrent curves used by the time overcurrent elements are the IEEE, IEC, GE Type IAC, and I
curve shapes. This allows for simplified coordination with downstream devices.
If none of these curve shapes is adequate, FlexCurves can be used to customize the inverse time curve characteristics. The
definite time curve is also an option that can be appropriate if only simple protection is required.

A time dial multiplier setting allows selection of a multiple of the base curve shape (where the time dial multiplier = 1) with
the curve shape (

or base curve values. Setting the multiplier to zero results in an instantaneous response to all current levels above pickup.
