(similar to the BE1-60). Updated Figures 4-1, 4-3 and 4-4 with the new style front panels. In Setting the Pickups , Step 11, page 5-13, added the Basler publication where the B6, Very Inverse, drawing can be found. Updated the manual style throughout.
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. Trip Direction Defined General Information BE1-67...
This limited region-of-operation characteristic (shown in Figure 1-4) is available by specifying option 3-5 or 3-6. Figure 1-4. Limiting the Region of Operation 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. Figure 1-5. Substations Fed From One Source General Information BE1-67...
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.
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 appear on the front panel, drawout cradle and inside the case assembly.

BE1-67 Phase Directional Overcurrent Relays are microprocessor based time overcurrent relays with directional supervision. This allows the relay to be more effectively coordinated for the protection of transmission and distribution circuits. Figure 3-1 is a BE1-67 relay functional block diagram and illustrates the overall operation of the relay.
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. Functional Description BE1-67...

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.
Apply a voltage input of 120 Vac at a phase angle of 0° and a current input of 1.0 ampere (LOW range) or 3.0 amperes (HIGH range) at a phase angle defined by the following equation. Figure 5-12. Directional Setting BE1-67 Testing 5-11...
60° Limited range 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. This is accomplished by removing the front panel and adjusting the TIME OVERCURRENT CHARACTERISTIC CURVE SELECTOR switch to position 6.
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 9 1907 00 999.) This setting will give a time delay of 0.6 second at 5 times pickup. This is the desired coordination point based on the required settings for this example.)
