Configuration chapter. Nominal voltage for the BE1-11g is defined as a phase-to-neutral quantity. Nominal V/Hz depends on the sensing voltage (VT) connection, nominal voltage, and nominal frequency settings. Nominal V/Hz is calculated as the nominal voltage divided by nominal frequency. For VT connections equal to 3W, 4W, AB, BC, CA, the nominal voltage (phase-neutral value) must be converted to a phase-phase value by multiplying by the square root of 3.
Page 56
If a target is enabled for the element, the BE1-11g will record a target when the Trip output becomes true. See the Fault Reporting chapter for more information about target reporting.

CT input (IG) is in phase with the calculated I Each of the four internal polarization methods has designated internal bits that are used in the BE1-11g for direction identification, one for forward direction and one for reverse direction. Combined, these eight bits are referred to as the directional status byte and are used to control the various overcurrent elements.

9424200994 Rev N The BE1-11g maintains memory voltage for 20 cycles to allow tripping for close in faults. When using memory voltage polarization, the BE1-11g assumes nominal system frequency. Negative-Sequence Polarization is used to test directionally for all fault types except three-phase faults.
Note that (not forward) does not necessarily imply reverse. Sufficient current and voltage must be present to declare direction. Internally, the BE1-11g also uses several constant limits to determine if the system levels are adequate to perform reliable directional tests and set directional bits. See Table 38.
Negative- and zero-sequence voltage is highest at the fault location, and lowest at the source. This affects how the BE1-11g uses the angle of maximum torque to prevent tripping for unusual load flow.
Page 119
Equation 11. Impedance with Small V and V Source Voltages The calculations in the BE1-11g are account for the negative factor in the above equation and hence a 180° phase shift is implemented in the BE1-11g firmware so that a correct forward/reverse decision is made.

In some applications, the zone of protection may include only the generator. In other applications, a power transformer may be included in the generator zone of protection. If a fault is detected, the BE1-11g initiates a trip signal to isolate the protected zone. This action limits equipment damage and minimizes impact on the power system.

10 watts (three-phase setting/3). Alternately, if two phases are zero (0) watts and the third phase is 50 watts, the BE1-11g will not pickup because two of the phases have not exceeded the single phase pickup threshold required for 3 of 3 operation. All three phases must exceed the single-phase pickup threshold for operation to occur.

In both modes, the BE1-11g adjusts the frequency and voltage of the generator to match that of the bus (mains) at the proper relative phase angle, and then connects the generator to the bus by closing the breaker. Anticipatory mode has the added capability of compensating for the breaker closing time (the delay between when a breaker close command is issued and the breaker contacts close).

03-25-03 Figure 272. DAC Delta With the appropriate CT and transformer connection information, the BE1-11g can automatically determine the correct compensation required. Normally, all circuits are compensated to obtain their equivalent delta currents. If all transformer windings and CTs are connected in wye, a special case exists and no compensation is required.
Page 364
The following tables illustrate how the various phase compensation factors are applied to different winding and CT configurations. The BE1-11g can also compensate for phase “mismatch”. That is, if A phase of the incoming system is connected to the transformer primary H1 and A phase of the secondary system is connected to X2, the phases can be matched at the BE1-11g with this feature.

Because this is a numerical device whose characteristics are defined by software, Basler Electric does not require the user to test each operational setting in the BE1-11g. Successful completion of the Acceptance Test verifies proper response of the protection system’s input and output circuits as well as its response to all external sensing input quantities (voltage, current, frequency).
Sequence of Events Recorder (SER) Reports, and Oscillographic Records yield more detail. Each time a system disturbance occurs in or around this BE1-11g zone of protection, it is a test of the BE1-11g performance during the fault. If a questionable operation results in the need for troubleshooting, you have several ways in which to troubleshoot the BE1-11g, the installation, and overall application.

The answer to the question is yes and no. In general, once the fault goes away the output contacts open. The BE1-11g does offer an option to ensure that the contact will stay closed for at least 200 milliseconds. See the Contact Inputs and Outputs chapter for additional information on that function.
Communications Is the IRIG signal modulated or demodulated? The BE1-11g accepts an IRIG-B signal that is demodulated (dc level-shifted digital signal). See the Specifications chapter for additional information.
Why do I keep getting access conflict errors when I attempt communication with the BE1-11g? If you try to gain access to more than one port at a time, an access conflict results. The BE1-11g has three communication ports: front-panel USB, rear panel optional Ethernet, and rear panel RS-485. Each communication method has its own access.
When activity at a port is no longer required, access should be terminated. Obtaining data or reports from the BE1-11g never requires password access. The security log is an exception, as it requires Administrator access.

Time Overcurrent Characteristic Curve Graphs The figures after the tables illustrate the characteristic curves of the BE1-11g. Table 252 cross-references each curve to existing electromechanical relay characteristics. Equivalent time dial settings were calculated at a value of five times pickup.
Page 595
User Tables Time Dial Setting Cross-Reference Although the time characteristic curve shapes have been optimized for each BE1-11g, time dial settings of Basler Electric protection systems are not identical to the settings of electromechanical induction disk overcurrent relays. Table 253 helps you convert the time dial settings of induction disk relays to the equivalent setting for Basler Electric protection systems.
Page 596
When using the 46 curve, the user should convert the continuous I rating data to actual secondary current at the BE1-11g. This value (plus some margin, if appropriate) should be entered as the pickup setting. For example, if a generator’s rated full-load current is 5 amperes, a pu setting of 0.5 A would allow 10% continuous I...
Page 597
When curve 46 is selected, the BE1-11g changes the range of the allowed time dial to 1 to 99 (instead of the time dial range of 0.1 to 9.9 for all the other curves). The user should enter the “K” factor of the generator into the time dial field.
