Question
What does "inverse-time operation" refer to in a Motor Relay?
Answer
This refers to a limiting motion caused by an overload factor. When a
large current flows, the time until operation is shortened, and when a
small current flows, the time until operation is lengthened.
The following figure shows inverse-time operation characteristics for the
K2CM Motor Protective Relay.

The motor itself will not burn immediately when an overcurrent is applied
to it, and is generally able to withstand an overload that lasts
approximately as long as the start-up time.
Inverse-time operation characteristics make it possible to prevent
unnecessary operation stops by using the inrush current at start-up to
trip the motor or stopping the motor when an overload condition extends
for a short time.
