Relay Protection / IDMT Calculator (IEC 60255)

Explore inverse definite minimum time relay behavior using the selected curve and relay parameters.

What this utility does

The IDMT Relay Calculator evaluates an inverse-time relationship from the relay inputs supplied and presents a preliminary operating-time reference.

How to use

  1. Enter pickup, fault or multiple-of-pickup information, curve selection, and timing parameters.
  2. Review the calculated operating time.
  3. Compare the result with the relay manufacturer curve and the complete coordination study before applying a setting.

Practical notes

  • Different relay families use different curve equations, constants, tolerances, and implementation details.
  • A mathematical curve result does not by itself establish discrimination or selectivity in a real network.
