You need to find a time consistent with you measured value.
If for instance the suffent required for a device to operate in 5secs is 500A, but the current required to cause operatin in 1 sec is 750A and your measured value is 100A, then you would use the 750A and 1sec values.
If the measured value is greater than required to cause operatin in 0.4secs then you would use those values.
In the majority of cases, you will find that as the current increases, the required CSA decreases.
