SECTION 1 • GENERAL INFORMATION

Introduction

BE1-50/51B-230, BE1-50/51B-234, and BE1-50/51B-239 relays provide non-directional, single-phase or ground overcurrent protection and are direct replacements for General Electric IAC66K relays. The BE150/51B-230 and BE1-50/51B-239 have 5 ampere current sensing inputs. The BE1-50/51B-234 has a 1 ampere current sensing input. The BE1-50/51B-230 and BE1-50/51B-234 relays are supplied as draw-out assemblies that plug directly into existing cases for IAC66K relays. The draw-out assemblies are supplied with relay covers and adaptor plates for mounting the covers onto existing IAC66K cases. The BE150/51B-239 relay is a draw-out assembly supplied with a case and cover. A connection plug is supplied with all models.

BE1-50/51B-230, BE1-50/51B-234, and BE1-50/51B-239 relays are self-powered, compatible with 50 or 60 Hz power systems, and have three protection elements: one time overcurrent (51) element and two instantaneous overcurrent (50) elements. The 51 element offers timing characteristic curves similar to those used by GE IAC and ABB relays.

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. In addition, an integrating reset function is available to simulate the disk reset of electromechanical relays.

BE1-50/51B-230, BE1-50/51B-234, and BE1-50/51B-239 overcurrent relays have the following standard features.

• 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

• Gravity latching targets retain indication without power

• Built-in accuracy eliminates internal adjustments

• Minimum transient overreach

• Field selectable characteristic curve selection similar to either GE IAC or ABB type curves

• Field selectable instantaneous or integrating reset

• Field selectable 50 or 60 Hz operation

• Field selectable 0.0 or 0.1 second, fixed, instantaneous delay

Internal switches provide for selecting system-operating frequencies of 50 or 60 Hz, instantaneous element delays of 0.0 or 0.1 second, characteristic curve group selection for either GE IAC or ABB type curves, and instantaneous or integrating reset characteristics. Switch location and description is provided in Section 2.

Advantages

BE1-50/51B-230, BE1-50/51B-234, and BE1-50/51B-239 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

• Very low burden extends the linear range of the CTs

• Self powered from the sensed current

• Continuous automatic calibration

BE1-50/51B-230, BE1-50/51B-234, and BE1-50/51B-239 overcurrent relays may be tested without removing the relay from the case. Shorting contacts are provided for all current inputs when the connection plugs or relay chassis is removed from the relay case.

SW3-1 selects the nominal system frequency. The OFF position selects 60 Hz operation and the ON position selects 50 Hz operation.

SW3-2 provides an additional time delay for the instantaneous overcurrent A (50-A) element. The ON position provides an additional delay of 100 milliseconds.

SW3-3 selects either GE IAC or ABB type characteristic curves. The ON position selects the GE IAC type curves (listed in Table A-1) and the OFF position selects the ABB type curves (listed in Table A-2).

SW3-4 selects either an instantaneous or integrating time reset characteristic. The ON position selects an integrating reset characteristic and the OFF position selects an

rotary switches select the instantaneous overcurrent B (50-B) pickup current setting in amperes.

The 50-B pickup switches are accessed on the top side of the draw-out assembly by removing the draw-out assembly from the case. Figure 2-3 shows the 50-B pickup switches as viewed at the right side of the draw-out assembly of the BE1-50/51B-230/-239. The BE150/51B-234 is shown in Figure 2-4.

BE1-50/51B-230/-239

The left-hand switch (SW9) is a 16-position switch that sets the units portion (#.#) of the 50B pickup setting in amperes. SW9 setting positions consist of 0 through 9 which correspond to values of 0 to 9 amperes and A through F which correspond to values of 10 to 15 amperes. The right-hand switch (SW10) is a 10-position switch that sets the tenths portion

) of the 50-B pickup setting in amperes. SW10 setting positions consist of 0 through 9

(#.# which correspond to values of 0.0 to 0.9 amperes.

The minimum allowable 50-B pickup setting is 1.0 Aac and the maximum allowable 50-B pickup setting is 15.9 Aac. Adjusting the 50-B pickup selector switches while the relay is in service may cause the relay to trip.

Example: SW9 position 2 and SW10 position 5 is a setting of 2.5 Aac.

BE1-50/51B-234

The total pickup setting is the sum of two settings. The first setting, SW9 has a range of 0.2 to 3.0 corresponding to switch position 1 through F. The second setting, SW10 has a range of 0.02 to 0.18 corresponding to switch position 1 through 9.

The minimum allowable 50-B pickup setting is 0.2 Aac and the maximum allowable 50-B pickup setting is 3.18 Aac. Adjusting the 50-B pickup selector switches while the relay is in service may cause the relay to trip.

Example: SW9 position 2 and SW10 position 5 is a setting of 0.5 Aac.

SECTION 3 • FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Introduction

This section illustrates and describes the functional capabilities of the BE1-50/51B-230, BE1-50/51B-234, and BE1-50/51B-239 relays.

Function Block Descriptions

The function blocks of the BE1-50/51B-230, BE1-50/51B-234, and BE1-50/51B-239 relays are illustrated in Figure 3-1 and described in the following paragraphs.

Figure 3-1. Function Block Diagram

Current Sensing Input

Single-phase ac current supplied by a system current transformer (CT) is applied to the BE1-50/51B-230, BE1-50/51B-234, and BE1-50/51B-239 through terminals 5 and 6. Sensing current is applied to internal power and signal CTs.

Power CT and Power Supply

The output of the power CT is supplied to the power supply which provides rectified and filtered operating power for all relay circuitry. A precision 5 Vdc output of the power supply serves as a reference for automatic calibration.

Signal Conditioning

Current from the signal CT is rectified and applied to three independent sets of scaling resistors controlled by the Time Overcurrent (51), Instantaneous Overcurrent A (50-A), and Instantaneous Overcurrent B (50B) pickup switches. The analog-to-digital converter receives the analog voltage developed across the scaling resistors and converts it into a digital signal that is supplied to the microprocessor.

Microprocessor

The microprocessor performs program operations based on the sensed current, switch settings, and the internal software program.

When sufficient current is sensed by the relay, the microprocessor is active and executing code, and the Active/Pickup LED is green. When the sensed current decreases below the operating threshold, microprocessor operation is interrupted and the Active/Pickup LED turns off. A watchdog circuit resets the microprocessor program when code execution is interrupted.

Power-off sensing circuits measure the voltage across a capacitor at power-down and power-up. These circuits determine how long power has been removed based on the difference voltage and the circuit’s

9252000894 Rev H BE1-50/51B-230/-234/-239 Functional Description 3-1

RC time constant. This provides information from the integrating reset function even when power has been entirely removed.

The microprocessor defines the relay operating parameters based on inputs received from the Time Overcurrent Time Dial Selector, Curve Selector, and four-position slide switch. The microprocessor determines the level of sensed current by a digital signal supplied by the analog-to-digital converter. Sensed current that exceeds the setting of the Time Overcurrent Pickup Selector switches causes the Active/Pickup LED color to change from green to red and the 51 Trip output contacts to close in accordance with the time characteristic equation. Sensed current exceeding the Instantaneous Overcurrent A Pickup selector switch setting causes the 50-A Trip output contacts to close. Likewise, sensed current exceeding the Instantaneous Overcurrent B Pickup selector switch setting causes the 50B Trip output contacts to close.

Outputs

Each protective element (time overcurrent (51), instantaneous overcurrent A (50-A), and instantaneous overcurrent B (50-B)) is equipped with a set of normally-open contacts rated for tripping duty. A system circuit breaker controlled by the 51 or 50-A output contacts can be manually tripped by connecting a jumper across the Time Overcurrent Manual Trip jacks or the Instantaneous Overcurrent Manual Trip jacks. (Manual trip jacks are not provided for the system circuit breaker controlled by the 50-B output contacts.) Current flow in a trip circuit is indicated by operation of the corresponding target. The targets will not operate without adequate relay operating power.

WARNING!

Trip circuit voltage is present at the front panel trip jacks. When shorting the trip jacks, use insulated jumpers to avoid contact with these voltages.

Target Indicators

Gravity-latched, manually-reset, current-operated target indicators are provided for the time overcurrent (51) trip output and the instantaneous overcurrent A (50-A) trip output. A target indicator is not provided for the 50-B trip output. The level of trip circuit current required to operate each target is individually controlled by a circuit board jumper. The minimum operating current range can be set for 80 to 200 milliamperes or 0.9 to 2.25 amperes. See Section 2, Controls and Indicators for jumper locations and function assignments.

SECTION 4 • INSTALLATION

Introduction

BE1-50/51B-230 and BE1-50/51B-239 relays are direct replacements for General Electric IAC66K relays with 5 Aac nominal current sensing. BE1-50/51B-234 relays are direct replacements for General Electric IAC66K relays with 1 Aac nominal current sensing. The BE1-50/51B-230 and BE1-50/51B-234 relays are supplied as draw-out assemblies that plug directly into existing cases for IAC66K relays. The draw-out assembly is supplied with a relay cover and adapter plate for mounting the cover onto an existing IAC66K case. The BE1-50/51B-239 relay is a draw-out assembly supplied with a case and cover. A connection plug is supplied with all models.

If desired, proper relay operation may be confirmed by performing the test procedures listed in Section 5. If the relay will not be installed immediately, store the relay in its original shipping carton in a moistureand dust-free environment.

Application Coordination

In a typical application coordination scheme, a BE1-50/51B-230, BE1-50/51B-234, or BE1-50/51B-239 is 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 BE1-50/51B-230, BE1-50/51B-234, or BE1-50/51B-239 is configured with the following settings:

• Integrating reset enabled (SW3-4 ON)

• Time characteristic curve E (extremely inverse) selected

• ABB type curves selected (SW3-3 OFF)

• Time dial set at 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 10 times pickup), calculate the feeder breaker trip time for each of the three operations. Refer to Appendix A for the characteristic curve constants and definition of the terms used in the following time characteristic curve equations.

Introduction

Proper relay operation may be confirmed by performing the test procedures in this section.

Dielectric Test

In accordance with IEC 255-5 and IEEE C37.90-2005, one-minute dielectric (high potential) tests may be performed as follows:

All circuits to ground: 2,828 Vdc or 2,000 Vac Input to output circuits: 2,828 Vdc or 2,000 Vac

Output contacts are surge protected.

Test Procedures

The following test procedures verify operation of the BE1-50/51B-230, BE1-50/51B-234, and BE150/51B-239 relays. The test setups illustrated in Figures 5-1 through 5-8 are intended primarily as an illustration of the principles involved. Other test equipment known to be capable of testing with the stated and implied tolerances (including equipment designed specifically for testing protective relays) may be used.

The minimum test equipment requirements are:

• Current source with a range of 0 to 20 Aac (sensing input current)

• AC or DC voltage source (target operation)

• Timer or counter

NOTES

To ensure proper timing during testing, remove the current from the relay for R times D seconds. (Refer to Appendix A, Characteristic Curves for definitions of R and D.

When testing TIME overcurrent functions, INST PICKUP settings of 00 will affect the calibration of the TIME functions. TIME PICKUP settings of 00 also affect INST functions.

APPENDIX A • CHARACTERISTIC CURVES

Introduction

This appendix describes and defines the instantaneous overcurrent, time overcurrent, and integrating time reset characteristics of the BE1-50/51B-230, BE1-50/51B-234, and BE1-50/51B-239 relays.

Instantaneous Overcurrent Characteristics

Timing

The instantaneous characteristic curves of the BE1-50/51B-230, BE1-50/51B-234, and BE1-50/51B-239 relays are similar to standard electromechanical instantaneous units. However, the time to trip for applications where the initial sensing current is less than 400 mA 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 A-1 shows the instantaneous characteristic curves for the maximum time to trip.

Figure A-1. Instantaneous Characteristic Curves

The delay of the Instantaneous A (50-A) element can be set for no intentional delay (switch SW3-2 open) or a fixed delay of 100 ms (SW3-2 closed). Figure 2-2 illustrates the location of SW3. The time delay of the 50-B element is not switch-selectable and is fixed at no intentional delay.

Pickup

The instantaneous elements of the BE1-50/51B-230, BE1-50/51B-234, and BE1-50/51B-239 relays may be set lower than the instantaneous element in IAC relays and still have the same reach. This is because the BE1-50/51B-230, BE1-50/51B-234, and BE1-50/51B-239 instantaneous elements effectively eliminate the fault current transient overreach components. When setting the BE1-50/51B-230, BE1-50/51B-234, and BE1-50/51B-239 instantaneous elements, calculate the symmetrical value without any adder for transient overreach.

Nine inverse time functions and one fixed (definite) time function can be selected at the front panel. Curve types are identified by a letter designator. Available curve types are short inverse (S), long inverse (L), definite time (D), moderately inverse (M), inverse (I), very inverse (V), extremely inverse (E), BS142 inverse, (B), and BS142 extremely inverse (C).

Inverse Time Functions

Characteristic curves for the inverse and definite time functions are defined by the following equation:

Where: T

= time to trip in seconds

D = time dial setting M = multiple of pickup setting A, B, C, N, K = constants for the particular curve

Characteristic Curve Groups

Either GE IAC or ABB characteristic curve groups are selected through switch SW3-3. (Refer to Figure 22 for the location of SW3.)

Characteristic Curve Constants

Tables A-1 and A-2 list the time characteristic curve constants used by the relay. Constants have been selected to conform to the characteristics of electromechanical relays over a range of pickup multiples from 1.3 to 40. Values of the constants are provided for use in PC relay setting applications. Timing accuracy is ±1 cycle ±2% of time to trip.

−=1

Timing accuracy is the sum of ±1 cycle, ±2%. This accuracy applies to the range of 1.3 to 40 times tap and is for a given measured multiple of tap. Measurement accuracy of the multiple of tap is the sum of ±2%, ±25 mA for the BE1-50/51B-230 and ±2%, ±5 mA for the BE1-50/51B-234.

Fixed Time Characteristic

The fixed time characteristic corresponds to the time dial setting and provides delays of 0.0 to 9.9 seconds. The time setting is constant over a range of pickup multiples from 1.0 to 40. Accuracy is ±1 cycle, ±2% of the time to trip for time dial settings of 0.1 and greater.

Integrating Time Reset Characteristic

The relay can be user-configured for integrating or instantaneous type reset.

Integrating reset simulates the disk reset of electromechanical relays and begins when the current decreases below 95% of pickup. BE1-50/51B-230 and BE1-50/51B-234 relays provide the integrating reset function even when input current decreases to zero.

Integrating reset characteristics are defined by the following equation and are illustrated in Figure A-16. See Table A-1 and A-2 for the equation constants.

Where: T R = constant for the particular curve D = time dial setting M = current in multiples of pickup setting during reset

Time characteristic curve equation:

Where: D = time dial setting M = multiple of pickup setting

Reset characteristic curve equation:

= time to reset in seconds

Instantaneous Reset

Reset occurs within 16 ms of when the current decreases to 95% of the pickup level.
