PROTECTIVE RELAY COORDINATION 349

publish their curves showing the tolerances in the performance of their relays. These tolerances are
shown as a band or range about a nominal curve. From a recent survey of relays and circuit breakers
it was found that the tolerances and adjustments can be illustrated as shown in Figure 12.21.

Note: The characteristic between points A and B may be a horizontal line, a straight sloping line or
an inverse curve.
