BE1-87G Variable Percentage Differential relays are single- or three-phase solid state devices designed to
provide selective, high-speed, differential protection for generators, motors and shunt reactors.
Differential relaying selectivity is based on the ability of a relay to distinguish between an internal fault (within
the protected zone) and an external fault. Under normal operating conditions the current into the protected
zone equals the current out of the protected zone with a net operating current equal to zero. Internal faults
upset this balance and result in a difference between the input and output currents. External faults have
relatively little effect on the balance because the protected zone input current still equals the output current.
Therefore, by comparing the currents on both sides of the protected element or zone and detecting when
these currents are not equal, a differential relay acts to isol ate the element or zone from the system with
unsurpassed effectiveness.
BE1-87G Variable Percentage Differential relays typically trip a lockout relay (86) which in turn trips the
generator breaker and, when present, the field and/or neutral breakers.
APPLICATION
BE1-87G Variable Percentage Differential relays are recommended for the following specific applications
when used with current transformers (CT) with an accuracy class of either C20 or better or T20 or better.
Generators: any terminal voltage and a rating of 1000 kVA and above.
Generators: any kVA rating and a terminal voltage of 5 kV and above.
Generators: a terminal voltage of 2200 V or higher, and a rating of more than 500 kVA.
Motors: rated 1500 horsepower and above.
As primary protection on shunt reactors for transmission lines.
Generator ground differential
Differential relaying is the most selective form of faul t protection which may be applied to the individual
elements or zones of ac power systems. Various types of differential relays and relaying systems have
evolved to take advantage of the differential principle.

CAUTION
when grounding or testing current transformer circuits
At high current levels, the inevitable difference in the saturation characteristics between current transformers
indicates a need for a compensating decrease in relay sensitivity. The design of the BE1-87G provides a
restraint factor that is proportional to input current when the restraining current (IR) is greater than nominal
(five amperes for sensing input type one or one ampere for sensing input type two). The BE1-87G compares
the protected zone sensed input and output currents. The lesser of the two sensed current levels becomes
the restraining current. The difference between the two sensed currents (the operating current) is compared
to a reference established by the sensitivity setting, and adjusted by an amount proportional to the
restraining current. This makes the BE1-87G more sensitive to low current internal faults, and less sensitive
to external faults with high levels of through current.
When the restraining current is at nominal (five amperes for sensing input type one or one ampere for
sensing input type two) or less, the relay trips if the differential current exceeds the relay setting (I
). But
S
when the restraining current is greater than nominal, the overall sensitivity is a combination of the front panel
setting and the restraint factor.
Design Highlights
Some of the many advantages of the solid-state BE1-87G Variable Percentage Differential Relay are
summarized as follows.
Seven sensitivity levels on each of the two sensing input ranges. The seven levels allow
compensation for CT mismatch and provide the flexibility and adaptability necessary for many
special applications such as split winding generator protection.
Stabilizing reactor. Minimizes dissimilar performance of system CTs. Reactor can be located on
the back of the relay or remotely from the BE1-87G for flexibility of system installation.
Variable restraint. The variable restraint characteristic allows increased sensitivity to low current
internal faults while providing increased security against high levels of through current caused by
external faults.
Single- or three-phase availability. Either configuration is available in the Basler Electric S1 drawout
case.
High-Speed Operation. The BE1-87G operates in 30 milliseconds for fault levels of 10 times the
sensitivity setting. This high-speed operation minimizes potential damage to the protected
equipment. Response characteristics for sensing input ranges 1 and 2 are shown in Section 5,

MODEL AND STYLE NUMBER
The electrical characteristics and operational features included in a specific relay are defined by a
combination of letters and numbers which constitutes the device's style number. The style number together
with the model number describe the features and options in a particular device and appear on the front
panel, drawout cradle, and inside the case as sembly. The model number BE1-87G designates the relay
as a Basler Electric Class 100, Variable Percentage Differential Relay.
