Type 2 Exponential Growth Curve The second type of growth is exponential Exponential growth curves increase slowly in the beginning, but the gains increase rapidly and become easier as time goes on Generally speaking, exponential growth looks something like this• Choosing the correct trip curve for your application provides reliable circuit protection, while limiting nuisance or false trips This paper is a brief overview of trip curves It is not intended to be the final answer on this topic There is a lot more to learn, including other types of trip curves and circuit breaker coordinationContinuity Types Continuity is the mathematical way to indicate how smooth the flow between two curves or surfaces is The main types of continuity are two G continuity (geometric continuity) To fulfill G0 continuity, two curves must join together at an endpointTo fulfill G1 continuity, (using the first derivative) the directions (and only the directions) of the tangent vectors of the two
