SECTION 1 • GENERAL INFORMATION

Introduction

BE1-50/51M overcurrent relays are microprocessor based, 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 Hz power systems. Models are available with fifteen popular time characteristics and a wide range of pickup settings.

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.

BE1-50/51M 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 with steel case

• Gravity latching targets retain indication without power

• Built-in accuracy eliminates internal adjustments

• Minimum transient overreach

• Field selectable characteristic curve selection

• Field selectable instantaneous or integrating reset

• Field selectable 50 or 60 Hz operation

• Field selectable fixed instantaneous delay (0.0, 0.1, 0.2, or 0.3 second on 100 series relays and

0.0 or 0.1 second on 200 series relays.).

Individual models are available for 1 ampere and 5 amperes sensing input currents. BE1-50/51M overcurrent relays (both horizontal and vertical mounts) must be removed from the case and installed on a test bench for testing. Shorting contacts are provided for all current inputs when the relay chassis is removed from the relay case. Figure 1-1 shows the front panel of the BE1-50/51M overcurrent relay, in a C1, horizontal mount case. Figure 1-2 shows the front panel of the BE1-50/51M overcurrent relay, in a C1, vertical mount case. Internally (circuit wise), all relay models are the same and use the same circuit assemblies.

Advantages

BE1-50/51M 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

Model Numbers

Model number variations in the BE1-50/51M overcurrent relays are specified by a three digit extension to the model number. Tables 1-1 and 1-2 provide model number, case style, switch SW3-3 selections, and sensing current input ranges. Internal switches provide for selecting system operating frequencies of 50 or 60 Hz, instantaneous element delays, curve sets, and instantaneous or integrating reset characteristics. The location and description of these switches is provided in Section 2. Integrating reset is available in 100 series relays (e.g. - BE1-50/51M-100) when there is adequate input current to power the relay. Integrating reset is available in 200 series relays (e.g. - BE1-50/51M-200) even when the input current falls to zero. Two-hundred series relays also have additional characteristic curves available through curve set selection.

xRD (Seconds)

P0046-11

Vertical axis xRD (Seconds) is applicable for all curves and is derived from multiplying the constant R for the curve selected times D (the Time Dial setting).

Reset begins when the current drops below 95% of pickup and the relay has not timed out. Switch SW3-4 provides selection of either an instantaneous or integrating reset characteristic. Opening SW3-4 forces the instantaneous reset timer to zero when timed dropout occurs. This fast reset characteristic prevents the ratcheting effect that may occur with repeating system faults. Closing SW3-4 selects the integrating reset characteristic. The integrating reset characteristic simulates the disk reset of electromechanical relays. When the integrating reset characteristic is selected on 100 series relays, insure that sufficient input power is available to power up the relay. This is not required on Series 200 relays. Series 200 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 1-3. Equation constants are provided in Tables 1-3 or 1-4.

TR = Time to reset in seconds R = Constant for the particular curve D = TIME DIAL setting

Dropout

Dropout occurs at 95% of pickup value.

Curve Characteristics

BE1-50/51M instantaneous characteristic curves are similar to standard electromechanical instantaneous units. However, the time to trip for ground applications is slightly longer than that for phase applications to allow time to power up the relay. Longer trip time for ground applications is beneficial because it helps to avoid nuisance trips.

For phase applications, the maximum time to trip is 3.5 cycles at a pickup multiple of 1.0, and 1.5 cycles at a pickup multiple of 3.0. The corresponding times for ground applications are 4.5 and 1.75 cycles. Figure 1-4 shows the instantaneous characteristic curves for maximum time to trip.

On 100 series relays, additional delays of 0.1, 0.2, or 0.3 seconds may be added with internal switches SW3-2 and SW3-3. These delays apply to both phase and ground applications. Closing switch SW3-2 provides an additional delay of 0.1 second. Closing switch SW3-3 provides an additional delay of 0.2 second. Closing both switches SW3-2 and SW3-3 provides an additional delay of 0.3 second. Section 2 illustrates the location of SW3.

On 200 series relays, an additional 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 the additional delay of 0.1 second.

Harmonic Response

Figure 1-6 shows that a relay set for 1 ampere pickup would pick up at 0.96 amperes with a current containing 40% seventh harmonic. This corresponds to a 10:1 rejection ratio. Other conditions may be evaluated in the same manner.
