  • Page 13: Introduction

    Through BESTCOMSPlus, all BE1-11g settings and logic can be retained in a file for printing or uploading to other BE1-11g protection systems. Oscillography and sequential events records can be retrieved from a BE1-11g, viewed, and printed.
  • Page 14: Features

    General Features HMI (Human-Machine Interface) Each BE1-11g has a front-panel display and LED indicators. Protection systems in an H or P style case have five LED indicators: Power Supply Status, Relay Trouble Alarm, Minor Alarm, Major Alarm, and Trip. Protection systems in a J style case have 12 LED indicators: Power Supply Status, Relay Trouble Alarm, Minor Alarm, Major Alarm, Trip, Select Control Switch, Operate Control Switch, and Indicator 1 through 7 (programmable in BESTlogicPlus).
  • Page 15 NTP synchronizes the real-time clock to network time servers through the Ethernet port. BESTCOMSPlus is used to establish the priority of time reference sources available to the BE1-11g, IRIG-B, NTP, DNP, and RTC (real-time clock). The NTP address is set using BESTCOMSPlus.
  • Page 16 Reporting of power quality, energy data, and general status is also provided. Alarms Extensive self diagnostics will trigger a fatal relay trouble alarm if any of the BE1-11g core functions are compromised. Fatal relay trouble alarms are not programmable and are dedicated to the Alarm output (OUTA) and the front panel Relay Trouble LED.
  • Page 17 BESTwave is included on the BE1-11 product CD. Sequence of Events Recorder A Sequence of Events Recorder (SER) records and time stamps all BE1-11g inputs and outputs as well as all alarm conditions monitored by the BE1-11g. Time stamp resolution is to the nearest half-cycle. I/O and Alarm reports can be extracted from the records as well as reports of events recorded during the time span associated with a specific fault report.
  • Page 18 Vx input. Rate of change can be set to operate on positive, negative, or “either”. Note BE1-11g protection systems enabled for IEC-61850 communication (style Gxxxx5xxxxxxxx) have their frequency protection elements fixed at four underfrequency elements, two overfrequency elements, and two frequency rate-of-change elements.
  • Page 19 Resistance Temperature Detector (49RTD) Protection Fourteen resistance temperature detector elements provide over/undertemperature protection in applications where a remote RTD module is connected to the BE1-11g via Ethernet or RS-485 cable. For more information, refer to the RTD Module chapter.
  • Page 20: Model And Style Number Description

    The style number describes the options included in a specific device and appears on labels located on the front panel and inside the case. Upon receipt of a BE1-11g, be sure to check the style number against the requisition and the packing list to ensure that they agree.

  • Page 45: Contact Inputs And Outputs

    This section describes the function and setup of each input and output. Contact-Sensing Inputs A BE1-11g in a J type case has seven contact inputs to initiate BE1-11g actions. Four contact inputs are provided in an H or P type case. Each isolated input requires an external wetting voltage. The nominal voltage(s) of the external dc source(s) must fall within the BE1-11g dc power supply input voltage range.
  • Page 46 9424200994 Rev N Remove the BE1-11g from service and de-energize it. The contact-sensing input jumpers are located behind the rear terminal blocks that are used for input connections. Using a 7/64” hex tool, remove the rear terminal block(s) associated with the input(s) that you want to configure.

  • Page 49: Contact Outputs

    Inputs. Contact Outputs A BE1-11g in a J type case has eight contact outputs (OUT1 through OUT8) and one failsafe, normally open or closed (when de-energized) alarm contact output (OUTA). Five contact outputs (OUT1 through OUT5) are provided in an H or P type case.

If any one of these points asserts, the failsafe alarm output relay de-energizes and closes/opens (depending on style number) the OUTA contact, the front-panel Relay Trouble LED lights, all output relays are disabled, logic OUTA is set, and the BE1-11g is taken offline. The relay trouble alarms function is not programmable.

  • Page 55: Overexcitation (24) Protection

    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.

    When a new fault summary report is generated, the BE1-11g discards the oldest of the 255 events and replaces it with a new one. Each fault summary report is assigned a sequential number (from 1 to 255) by the BE1-11g. After event number 255 has been assigned, the numbering starts over at 1.
  • Page 209 9424200994 Rev N BE1-11g protection systems have three identification fields: Device ID, Station ID, and User ID. These fields are used in the header information lines of the fault reports. Refer to the BESTCOMSPlus Software chapter for information on BE1-11g identification settings.
  • Page 210 • Event Type. This line reports the type of event that occurred. There are five event categories: Trip: A fault was detected as defined by the pickup expression and the BE1-11g tripped to clear the fault. Pickup: A fault was detected as defined by the pickup expression but the BE1-11g never tripped indicating that the fault was cleared by another device.

    Maximum data capture resolution is 32 samples per cycle and is user selectable. The BE1-11g can store up to 2,048 cycles of data at 8 samples per cycle or 512 cycles of data at 32 samples per cycle. Refer to Table 76 for Oscillographic Records Settings.
  • Page 212: Distance To Fault

    Distance to Fault The BE1-11g calculates distance to fault each time a fault record is triggered. Distance to fault is calculated and displayed based on the power line parameters entered using BESTCOMSPlus or the front- panel interface. Table 77 provides the power line operating settings.
  • Page 213 The two-cycle wait time allows line transients to settle to provide results that are more accurate. To perform the actual distance calculation, the BE1-11g first must determine the faulted phase. Faults can be categorized depending on the lines faulted. The various categories are LLL, LL, LLG, or LG where L = line and G = ground.

    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.
  • Page 560: Inputs And Outputs

    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.
