Details of Default Logic Scheme
The following paragraphs describe the default logic scheme in detail. Operation of the protection and
control logic under normal conditions is described. The features of the logic scheme are broken down into
functional groups and described in detail.
The default logic scheme is intended for applications requiring three-phase and neutral non-directional
overcurrent protection. This logic scheme provides an excellent base on which to create a custom
scheme for a specific application.
The components of the default logic are summarized in Table 106 and Table 107. Figure 243 shows a
one-line drawing for the default logic scheme. A diagram of the default logic is shown in Figure 244.
Operation - Protection
The phase, neutral, and negative-sequence elements are activated to provide timed (51) and
instantaneous (50) overcurrent protection in this scheme. A function block is disabled by setting the
pickup setpoint at zero in each of the four setting groups. OUT1 will operate and trip the breaker. Contact
outputs OUT2, OUT3, OUT4, and OUT5 are designated to specific function blocks. OUT2 operates for
instantaneous phase overcurrent conditions, OUT3 trips for timed phase overcurrent situations, OUT4
operates for instantaneous neutral and negative-sequence overcurrent conditions, and OUT5 operates for
timed neutral and negative-sequence overcurrent conditions. All contact sensing inputs are unassigned.
Operation - Setting Group Selection
A setting group can be selected automatically or by using the communication ports or the front-panel
interface. Automatic setting group changes are based on current level and duration. Automatic setting
group changes for cold load pickup and/or dynamic setting adjustments are enabled by using
BESTCOMSPlus. Setting group changes are not accommodated in this scheme.
Operation - Alarms
If the continuous self-test diagnostics of the BE1-11g detect an error, failsafe output contact OUTA will
close and the Relay Trouble LED on the front panel will light. OUTA will also close if BE1-11g operating
power is lost. More information about alarms is provided in the Alarms chapter.
