∗ Any digit covering all pickup ranges and 50 Hz or 60 Hz models.

To replace an existing Westinghouse/ABB type CO (hereinafter referred to as ABB relay), perform the following steps:

1. Select the desired relay settings on your new BE1-50/51B-219 or BE1-50/51B-226 relay.

2. Remove the existing ABB relay cradle.

3. Insert the new relay cradle.

4. Close the knife-blade switches.

5. Install the new Basler Electric cover and secure with the captive thumbnut.

Basler Electric BE1-50/51B-219 and BE1-50/51B-226 protective relays are self-powered, microprocessorbased, non-directional phase or ground relays that monitor the magnitude of a single-phase ac current to provide accurate instantaneous and time overcurrent protection for 50- or 60-hertz power systems. Each model covers 15 popular time characteristics, a wide range of pickup settings, and field-selectable instantaneous or integrating reset.

Features

A wide range of pickup settings and front-panel-selectable time characteristics permit applications involving coordination with fuses, reclosers, cold-load pickup, motor starting, and fixed-time requirements. Also, an integrating reset function is available to simulate the disk reset of electromechanical relays.

BE1-50/51B-219 and BE1-50/51B-226 overcurrent relays have the following standard features:

BE1-50/51B-219/-226 Introduction

• Independent time and instantaneous elements

• A secure method to manually trip the breaker at the relay front panel

• Direct reading front-panel controls

• Minimum pickup setting for safety during installation

• Time characteristics extend to a pickup multiple of 40

• Rugged draw-out construction with steel case

Switch location and description is provided in the Controls and Indicators chapter.

Advantages

BE1-50/51B-219 and BE1-50/51B-226 overcurrent relays have many advantages over other overcurrent relays. The primary advantages are:

• Time characteristics are defined by equations and graphs

• Field-selectable time characteristics

H ACTIVE/PICKUP LED

I Target Reset Button

This bicolor LED indicates the level of current sensed by the relay. A green LED indicates that the relay is active but not picked up. The LED changes to red when the sensed current exceeds the time overcurrent pickup setting and back to green when the sensed current decreases below 95% of the time overcurrent pickup setting.

Note: A minimum of 0.5 A (5A units) or 0.1 A (1A units) is required to light the LED. The LED may not turn green (active) before turning red (picked up) at the 0.5 A pickup setting on 5A units or

0.1 A pickup setting on 1A units. Linkage extends through back of front cover to reset both gravity

Functional Description

BE1-50/51B-219 and BE1-50/51B-226 Overcurrent Relays are microprocessor based non-directional relays that measure ac current to provide secure and reliable instantaneous and time overcurrent protection for power systems.

Functional Descripti on

Sensing Input

Single-phase ac current from system current transformers (CTs) is brought into the Overcurrent Relay at terminals 8 and 9. Refer to Figure 3 to follow the functional description. The input current is applied to internal power and signal CTs.

Power Supply

Current from the power CT is rectified, filtered, and supplied to all relay internal circuitry for operating power. A precision +5 Vdc supply also serves as a reference for automatic calibration.

Instantaneous Signal

Current from the signal CT is rectified and applied to the instantaneous scaling resistors controlled by the INST PICKUP selector switches. The analog voltage of the instantaneous input signal developed across the scaling resistors is filtered and applied to the multiplexor (MUX).

Time Signal

Current from the signal CT is also rectified and applied to the time scaling resistors controlled by the TIME PICKUP selector switches. The analog voltage of the time input signal is also filtered and applied to the multiplexor.

Microprocessor

Operating power from the power supply is applied to the microprocessor supervisor circuit. When the microprocessor is active and executing code, the ACTIVE/PICKUP LED is green. When the input current falls below an acceptable level, the supervisor circuit interrupts the microprocessor, halts further operation, and turns OFF the ACTIVE/PICKUP LED. A microprocessor watchdog feature resets the microprocessor program when the program flow is interrupted.

Information from the TIME DIAL selector switches, the TIME CURVE selector switch, and the 50/60 Hz, INST DELAY, and RESET CHAR switches is also applied to the microprocessor. The microprocessor uses these inputs to set the operating parameters.

When the microprocessor is ready for analog information from the multiplexor, microprocessor control signals cause the multiplexor to route the desired input through to the output. The output is converted from an analog value to a digital value and applied to the microprocessor.

The microprocessor performs the program operations based on the inputs and the internal software program. When the sensed current exceeds the TIME PICKUP setting, the ACTIVE/PICKUP LED turns from green to red. TIME contacts (51) are closed in accordance with the time characteristic equation. If the sensed current exceeds the INST PICKUP setting, the INST contacts (50) are closed.

Power-Off Sensing

Power-off sensing circuits measure the voltage across a capacitor at power-down and at power-up. These circuits determine how long power has been removed based on the difference voltage and the circuit RC time constant. This provides information for the integrating reset function even when power has been entirely removed.

Outputs

Instantaneous and Timed

System circuit breakers controlled by the output contacts can be manually tripped by applying a short across the TIME or INST MANUAL TRIP front-panel test points. Current flow in the trip circuit is indicated by the operation of the target. The targets will not operate without adequate operating power for the relay.

shorting the test points, use insulated jumpers to avoid contact with

Caution

Close all BLACK handle switches before closing any RED handle switches. Insure that the RED handle switches are closed last.

Installation

When not shipped as part of a control or switchgear panel, the relays are shipped in sturdy cartons to prevent damage during transit. Immediately upon receipt of a relay, check the model and part num ber against the requisition and packing list to verify that they agree. Visually inspect the relay for damage that may have occurred during shipment. If there is evidence of damage, immediately file a claim with the carrier and notify the Regional Sales Office, or contact the Sales Representative at Basler Electric, Highland, Illinois.

Proper operation of the relay may be confirmed by performing the operational test procedure in the

Testing chapter. If the relay won't be installed immediately, store the relay in its original shipping carton in

a moisture and dust-free environme nt.

Factory Settings

Factory settings for the internal switches of SW3 are as follows:

• SW3-1 — OFF (60-hertz operation).

• SW3-2 — OFF (0.0 additional fixed delay for the instantaneous element).

• SW3-3 — OFF (Westinghouse/ABB type characteristic curves).

• SW3-4 — ON (Integrating reset characteristics).

Installation

Select the desired relay settings before putting the relay into service. Changing pickup current settings while the relay is in service may cause tripping. Perform the following procedures to install the BE150/51B-219 or BE1-50/51B-226 relay:

• Select the desired relay settings on your new BE1-50/51B-219/-226 relay.

• Remove the existing ABB relay cradle.

• Insert the new relay cradle and close the cradle latches locking the relay into the case.

• Close knife-blade switches.

• To install the cover, pos ition the interlocki ng bracket at the top of t he new Basler Electric c over into

the mating receptacle at the top of the case. Secure the captive fastener at the bottom of the cover.

Application Coordinat ion

In a typical application coordination scheme, a BE1-50/51B-219 or BE1-50/51B-226 is being used to provide primary protection for a radial distribution feeder. An electromechanical overcurrent relay with extremely inverse timing provides protection for the transformer and bus. To improve coordination with the electromechanical relay, the BE1 relay with integrating reset characteristic has the time characteristic curve E (extremely inverse) selected (SW3-3 set to OFF) and the TIME DIAL set to 2.0. The feeder reclosing relay is set for two reclose attempts at 3 and 15 seconds after the initial trip. If a permanent fault occurs (magnitude ten times pickup), calculate the feeder breaker trip time for each of the three operations. Refer to the Specifications chapter for characteristic curve constants.
