Transformer Setup
The BE1-11g requires information about the transformer windings to provide differential metering and
differential protection. See the Phase Current Differential (87) Protection chapter for more information.
Transformer setup is accomplished on the Sensing Transformers settings screen (Figure 284) in
BESTCOMSPlus. Setting ranges and defaults are summarized in Table 119.

When the zone of protection includes a transformer, it may be necessary to provide phase angle and zero
sequence compensation to the currents used by the Phase Current Differential Protection (87) element.
See Figure 285 and Figure 286. For each input circuit, a setting is provided to enter the transformer
connections associated with that input.
