SECTION 1 • GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSE BE1-32R, Directional Overpower and BE1-32 O/U, Directional Over/Underpower Relays sense real power (IE times cos ). These relays are solid state devices that are designed for use in single-phase or three-phase systems to provide equipment protection for overpower and/or underpower, or for use in the supervisory control of circuits.
The BE1-32R, Reverse Power Relay must be sensitive enough to detect power levels lower than those required to motor the generator. Sensitivity is much more important on steam and hydro turbines than on reciprocating engines and gas turbines. Table 1-1 represents the reverse power requirements to motor a generator when the prime mover is rotating at synchronous speed with no input power supplied by the prime mover.
T1 nor T2 alone can supply the total load. The BE1-32 O/U, over/underpower directional relays can protect this distribution system by providing overload protection for each transformer (overpower function) or by sensing power flow through the transformers (reverse power function) in an undesired direction. BE1-32R, -32 O/U GENERAL INFORMATION...
Figure 1-5. The reverse power relay delays breaker tripping until trapped steam has been removed from the piping. In this case, as separate direct-tripping anti-motoring relay can be used to protect for situations not related to an automatic shutdown of the unit. Figure 1-5. Single-Phase, Non-Electrical Trip Supervision BE1-32R, -32 O/U GENERAL INFORMATION...
When breaker N opens, real power reverses from normal and flows toward the utility. This power may be flowing to the tapped load. At this time, the relay operates and causes the 52 breaker to open. BE1-32R, -32 O/U GENERAL INFORMATION...
Excessive heating results in the damper (amortissuer) windings, slot wedges, and in the surface iron of the rotor due to the slip frequency current flow when a synchronous generator is operated as an induction generator. BE1-32R, -32 O/U GENERAL INFORMATION...

Figure 1-10 illustrates how a single-phase BE1-32R or BE1-32 O/U can be connected to measure either real power (watts) or reactive power (vars) flow in a three-phase system. Notice the difference of phase relationship between the alternate connections in Figure 1-10.
Style number identification chart (Figure 1-11) defines the electrical characteristics and operational features included in BE1-32R, -32 O/U relays. For example, if the model number of the relay was BE1-32R, and the style number was A1G-A1P-A0N1F, the device would have the following features:...

Nominal Volts Timing Directional Power Relays (BE1-32R or BE1-32 O/U) are capable of instantaneous trip, definite time delayed trip, or an inverse time delayed trip and is defined by the style number. Instantaneous timing responds to a trip condition with no intentional time delay. Overall response time of the relay is less than 80 milliseconds, 60 hertz or 100 milliseconds, 50 hertz for a real power magnitude of 2 times the pickup setting.
1500 Outputs Each model of the directional power relay family (BE1-32R or BE1-32 O/U) has a dedicated output relay for each indicated function. The BE1-32R output relay contacts, dedicated for directional overpower trip, may have either a normally open (NO) or a normally closed (NC) configuration for use in the customers circuitry. The BE1-32 O/U has dedicated output relay contacts for an overpower trip function and an underpower trip function.
Power Supply Basler Electric enhanced the power supply design for unit case relays. This new design created three, wide range power supplies that replace the four previous power supplies. Style number identifiers for these power supplies have not been changed so that customers may order the same style numbers that they ordered previously.
If there is evidence of damage, immediately file a claim with the carrier and notify the Regional Sales Office, or contact the Sales Representative at Basler Electric, Highland, Illinois. In the event the relay is not to be installed immediately, store the relay in its original shipping carton in a moisture and dust free environment.

TEST PLUG Test plugs (Basler part number 10095 or G.E. part number XLA12A1) provide a quick, easy method of testing relays without removing them from their case. Test plugs are simply substituted for the connection plugs. This provides access to the external stud connections as well as to the internal circuitry.
