87G provides a restraint factor that is proportional to input current when the restraining current (I ) is greater than nominal (5 Aac for sensing input range 1 or 1 Aac for sensing input range 2). The BE1-87G compares the protected zone sensed input and output currents. The lesser of the two sensed current levels becomes the restraining current.

Sensing current for each monitored phase is provided by two user-provided, system CTs with secondary windings that match the BE1-87G’s sensing input range. BE1-87G relays with sensing input range 1 (style x1x-xxx-xxxx) require CTs with 5 Aac secondary windings. Relays with sensing input range 2 (style x2x- xxx-xxxx) require CTs with 1 Aac secondary windings.

MAINTENANCE BE1-87G relays require no preventive maintenance other than the periodic inspection of the relay case and stabilizing reactor terminal connections to ensure that they are clean and tight. If repairs are needed, contact the Technical Sales Support department at Basler Electric for assistance.
The relay case must be hard-wired to earth ground with no smaller than 12 AWG copper wire. A separate ground lead is recommended for each device. OPERATIONAL TEST PROCEDURE The procedures that follow verify proper operation of the BE1-87G relay CAUTION During testing, do not apply a continuous operate current greater than 3 Aac.
Figure 5-1. Location of Stabilizing Reactor Bypass Terminals (Single-Phase Relays) Equipment Required Because of the speed and sensitivity of the BE1-87G, test equipment with appropriate accuracy and stability must be used to test the sensitivity switch settings. For example, at the most sensitive switch setting (0.1 ampere), the relay monitors a current difference that is only 1% for a sensing input of 10...

Inequality (1) is met with CT #2, but not with CT #1. However, since the locked rotor current is only 4.8 times the CT rating (versus the assumption of 20 times rated for inequality (1)), the application is suitable. SFR = (100 ÷ 50) × (0.36 ÷ 0.19) = 3.8 BE1-87G Testing and Setting 9170800990 Rev M...
CT #2 has a C classification. The T classification indicates that the CT has significant secondary leakage inductance which somewhat degrades the transient performance. This is a concern during motor starting because a slowly decaying offset component develops in at least one phase. 9170800990 Rev M BE1-87G Testing and Setting...
