IEC Inverse Time Operation
The operation time depends on the measured value and other
parameters according Equation 6. Actually this equation can only be
used to draw graphs or when the measured value I is constant during
the fault. A modified version is implemented in the relay for real
time usage.

There are three different delay types according IEC 60255-3, Normal
inverse (NI), Extremely inverse (EI), Very inverse (VI) and a VI
extension, Long time inverse (LTI).
