Figure 1-1. Single-Phase Directional Overcurrent Figure 1-1a shows the connections to the sensing circuits for a single phase BE1-67. Figure 1-1b illustrates the phasor quantities monitored by the relay for a unity power factor condition, and for a single phase fault.
This angle is then used as the maximum torque angle and any current flowing in the half-plane defined by this angle is considered to be in the trip direction. Figure 1-2 illustrates the trip and non-trip directions. Figure 1-2. Trip Direction Defined BE1-67 General Information 9170900990 Rev H...
90 degrees. This limits the trip region area to only a portion of the half-plane usually defined as the trip direction. This limited region-of- operation characteristic (shown in Figure 1-4) is available by specifying option 3-5 or 3-6. 9170900990 Rev H BE1-67 General Information...
In the case where two sources of power can supply fault current, as shown in Figure 1-6, directional overcurrent relays will need to be applied to each end of the protected lines to prevent undesired tripping. BE1-67 General Information 9170900990 Rev H...
Figure 1-6. Substations Fed from Two Sources SAMPLE APPLICATION CALCULATIONS In this sample illustrated by Figure 1-7, a three-phase, 60 hertz, BE1-67 relay is used at breaker position A. Assumed options for the relay include switch-selectable characteristic curves, switch-selectable characteristic angle and a directional instantaneous output.
Returning to Figure 1-7, if it is assumed that the maximum lead current is 1,200 amperes for line AC and a maximum CT ratio of 400:1, then: Timed pickup setting = (1200) (1 ÷ 400) (1.25) = 3.75 amperes (The 1.25 factor represents a margin of safety.) BE1-67 General Information 9170900990 Rev H...
D(L) Based on these fault currents, the BE1-67 relay at A will pickup and begin to time out. But the primary concern is that the relay at D trips before the one at A. This is accomplished by selecting the appropriate pickup, time dial, and characteristic for the 67 device.
67 will see fault N, but that 67 will not. (The response of the BE1-67 Directional Unit is approximately 1 cycle, thereby blocking the overcurrent unit before it will see the fault current in the reverse direction.)
Refer to Figure 1-9 for the Style Number Identification Chart. Model numbers BE1-67 designate the relay as a Basler Electric, Class 100, Phase Directional Overcurrent Relay. The model number together with the style number describes the options included in a specific device and appears on the front panel, drawout cradle and inside the case assembly.
Switch selectable characteristic angle and power supply status output Semi-flush case mounting, M1-size case SPECIFICATIONS BE1-67 Phase Directional Overcurrent Relays are available in either single-phase or three-phase configurations with the following features and capabilities. Current Sensing Input(s) The unit is designed to operate from the secondary of a standard current transformer rated at 5 amperes.

Figure 3-1. Functional Block Diagram INPUT CIRCUITS BE1-67 relays may be configured to sense either a single-phase current and a phase-to-phase voltage, or three -phase currents and three phase-to-phase voltages. (A three-phase unit is illustrated.) Current Sensing Internal current sensing transformers are designed to receive their input from the five ampere nominal secondary of a standard current transformer in the power system.
The tripping characteristic of the relay is then defined by a line, that is, perpendicular to I . Note that the slight bow in this boundary about the origin is caused by the minimum sensitivity of the directional element: 0.02 ampere and 1.0 volt. BE1-67 Functional Description 9170900990 Rev H...
Figure 3-2.) This region (angle as shown in Figure 3-3) may be reduced by the LIMITED REGION OF OPERATION control (a multi-turn potentiometer accessed through the front panel). The control is continuously adjustable (with reference to I in Figure 3-3) from ±5 degrees to ±90 degrees. 9170900990 Rev H BE1-67 Functional Description...
LOGIC CIRCUITS The logic circuits identified in the block diagram of Figure 3-1 and briefly described in the following paragraphs are intended to show functionally how the BE1-67 relay operates. Microprocessor The microprocessor fulfills many of the logic and signal processing functions described in the following paragraphs and performs all of the time overcurrent computations.
LED is included for each phase monitored by the relay. LED's may be used to determine the actual pickup setting of the relay during testing. POWER LED's A red LED lights when the relay power supply is functioning. This provides a front panel indication of the relay status. 9170900990 Rev H BE1-67 Functional Description...
The ELEMENT targets are always type A (internally operated) targets. NOTE Prior to August 2007, BE1-67 target indicators consisted of magnetically latched, disc indicators. These mechanically latched target indicators have been replaced by the electronically latched LED targets in use today.

MAINTENANCE BE1-67 relays require no preventative maintenance other than a periodic operational check. If the relay fails to function properly, contact Technical Sales Support at Basler Electric to coordinate repairs. STORAGE This protective relay contains aluminum electrolytic capacitors which generally have a life expectancy in excess of 10 years at storage temperatures less than 40°C (104°F).

Figure 5-11. Characteristic Angle = 75 Degrees TIMING CURVE VERIFICATION There are many timing characteristics available for BE1-67 relays. Table 5-2 provides two checkpoints for each of the twelve timing characteristic curve types. The characteristic included within the relay is defined in the style number by a two-character code. If this code is B1 to B7, E2, or E4 to E7, only one characteristic can be tested.
INHIBIT LED should be ON. NOTE Set the CHARACTERISTIC ANGLE by adjusting one end point of the 180° trip region. In Figure 5-12, the test current lags the CHARACTERISTIC ANGLE by 90°. 5-12 BE1-67 Testing 9170900990 Rev H...

60° • Limited region of operation: B = 45° The relay that has been selected for this application is a BE1-67, style number B1E-Z2Y-B1N6F. Before applying sensing inputs to the relay, a few adjustments are necessary. Step 1. Since the relay includes the Z2 timing option, the characteristic curve needs to be selected.
Step 11. Adjust the TIME DIAL for a setting of 11. (This setting is determined from the characteristic curve for timing type B6, Very Inverse, Basler Drawing 99-0928 which is included in Basler publication 9170900990. This setting will give a time delay of 0.6 second at 5 times pickup.
