Abstract
Disclosed is a characteristic timer for a protective relay which provides protection for a portion of an A.C. transmission line. The characteristic timer has digital logic elements adapted to external circuitry for selecting one or more desired phase angles which determines the activation time of a characteristic timer, which, in turn, determines the operational characteristic of the protective relay. The digital logic of the characteristic timer is further adapted to an external circuitry for selecting an integrating or non-integrating type function for the characteristic timer.
