I suppose this is an appropriate context, because ABB is a major company in the relevant industry sector, and their website also includes "Selettività cronometrica" ("Time selectivity"), as per the Asker's source text.

"Amperometric" and "chronometric" can indeed be used in the desired context.

E.g.
"Selectivity in earth leakage protection must be both horizontal and vertical. In this article, we will deal with the 3 essential rules for vertical selectivity
3 conditions must be met in order to guarantee correct vertical selectivity:
* Amperometric selectivity
* Chronometric selectivity
* Type selectivity"

neutral  D. I. Verrelli: "Amperometric" sounds quite stilted to me in English. (I'm guessing that's less so with "amperometrica" in Italian.) Also the context in your reference is rather different from that of the source text.
