Actual Long-Time Pickup is 112% of Nominal (RPXPU) Pickup.

Curve represents a tolerance of -9% & +11% around the actual (RPXPUX1.12) value of current,
+ operating time.
2 GE time current curves include all required trip unit tolerance and CB operational variance. 2
C-6
Bottom/left of curve band is the “commit” time. Top/right is maximum clear time.
Curve will extend to ST PU, IOC PU or 15 x Nominal PU, whichever comes first.
