Understanding Time Current Curves - Maverick Technologies
WHITE PAPER Understanding time Current Curves . Understanding time Current Curves David Paul , Engineering Design Manager, Maverick Technologies A time Current curve (TCC) plots the The orange curve is the transformer damage curve. The green Curves are the cable damage Curves . Each one interrupting time of an overcurrent of these items will be explained. The system represented device based on a given Current level. by this curve is well coordinated and adequately protected These Curves are provided by the from damage. It also has minimal Arc Flash hazard category ratings due to low instantaneous circuit breaker trip values. manufacturers of electrical overcurrent interrupting devices such as fuses and The One Line Diagram and TCC curve show a typical hypothetical circuit breakers. These Curves are part industrial power system (Figure 2).
The transformer inrush current is also plotted as a single point on the TCC diagram. Again, as part of the initial design, the transformer inrush current must be to the left of the transformer primary fuse curve otherwise the fuse will open when the transformer is energized. These differences in the unbalanced and 100% damage curves can
