Does any one know how to calculate generator I2^2 t curve for coordination purposes?

I know that K varies between 2 - 40 and I2 is percent of stator FLA. What percent of FLA is used to draw the curve?

Hope the question makes sense.

Thanks in advance

Typically the manufacturer specifies the value for K. (30 is common for cylendrical rotor machines). The curve is drawn for t = K/I2^2. I2 is per unit of nameplate current. I don't know if that answers your question or not.
 

The ability of a generator to accommodate unbalanced currents is specified by ANSI C50.12 and ANSI C50.13 in terms of negative-sequence current (I2). IEEE C37.102 specifies the continuous I2 capability of a generator and the short time capability of a generator, specified in terms I2[sup]2[/sup]t and defined in a dual-slope relationship plotted against generator MVA.
