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
Testingchapter. 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.

Setting the Relay
Select the desired relay settings before putting the relay into service. Changing pickup current settings
while the relay is in service may cause tripping.
Periodic Tests
General
All relays should be tested periodically to identify and correct any problems that are found.
Single phase relays such as the BE1-50/51B-219 and BE1-50/51B-226 are normally used in groups of
four (three phase and ground) on the protected circuit. This relay scheme allows each unit to be
withdrawn one at a time for testing purposes without losing protection. Only three are required at any one
time to sense all types of faults on a grounded wye system. Refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 for
recommended test setups.
Periodic Test
Periodic testing should consist of the following pr oc ed ures .
Step 1. Verify that the instantaneous pickup is within ±2% of the value set on the dials. Pickup occurs
when the INST output contacts close.
BE1-50/51B-219/-226 Testing
20 9252000981 Rev J
Step 2. Verify that the time pickup is within ±2% of the value set on the dials. Pickup occurs when the
LED turns GREEN then RED.
Step 3. Verify that the time to trip for the curve and time dial settings at a multiple of six is the same as
the time given on the characteristic curve. Refer to the Specifications chapter for the
characteristics curves.
Step 4. Verify that the time to trip for the instantaneous element at a pickup multiple of 2 is not greater
than the time given on the instantaneous characteristic curve. Refer to the Specifications chapter
for the instantaneous characteristic curve.
Step 5. Verify that the targets operate with one ac ampere of trip current in the trip circuits and that they
can be reset using the RESET BUTTON.

Integrating Reset
Reset begins when the current drops below 95% of pickup. Integrating reset simulates the disk reset of
electromechanical relays. BE1-50/51B-219 and BE1-50/51B-226 relays provide the integrating reset
function even when input current falls to zero.
Integrating reset characteristics are defined by the following equation and shown in Figure 9. Equation

Dropout
Dropout occurs at 95% of pickup value.
Curve Characteristics
Instantaneous characteristic curves are similar to standard electromechanical instantaneous units.
However, the time to trip for applications where the initial current through the relay is less than 0.4
ampere (5-ampere relay) or 0.08 ampere (1-ampere relay) may be slightly longer. This may occur on a
very lightly loaded circuit or when the relay is providing ground protection and is connected to measure
neutral current. Figure 10 shows the instantaneous characteristic curves for maximum time to trip.
Specifications BE1-50/51B-219/-226
9252000981 Rev J 25
An additional fixed delay of 0.1 second may be added with internal switch SW3-2. This delay applies to
both phase and ground applications. Closing switch SW3-2 provides an additional delay of 0.1 second.
The Controls and Indicator s chapter illustrates the location of SW3.
The instantaneous element in BE1-50/51B-219 and BE1-50/51B-226 relays may be set lower than the
instantaneous element in ABB relays and still have the same reach. This is because the BE1-50/51B-219
and BE1-50/51B-226 instantaneous element effectively eliminates the fault current transient overreach
components. When calculating BE1-50/51B-219 and BE1-50/51B-226 relay instantaneous element
settings, calculate the symmetrical value without any adder for transient overreach.

containing 40% seventh harmonic. This corresponds to a 10:1 rejection ratio. Other conditions may be
evaluated in the same manner.
