February 2001 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OF BASLER ELECTRIC COMPANY, HIGHLAND, IL. IT IS LOANED FOR CONFIDENTIAL USE, SUBJECT TO RETURN ON REQUEST, AND WITH THE MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING THAT IT WILL NOT BE USED IN ANY MANNER DETRIMENTAL TO THE INTEREST OF BASLER ELECTRIC COMPANY.
Electrical characteristics and operational features included in a specific relay are defined by a combination of letters and numbers that constitute the device style number. The model number, BE1-46N, designates the relay as a Basler Electric Class 100 Negative Sequence Overcurrent Relay. The style number together with the model number describe the features and options in a particular device and appear on the front panel, drawout cradle, and inside the case assembly.
Style Number Example The following style number identification chart illustrates the features and options for BE1-46N relays. For example, if the style number were BE1-46N G1H B8S B1B1F, the relay would have the following features: BE1-46N Model number. Three-phase negative sequence current sensing.
Targets may be specified as either internally operated, or current operated by a minimum of 0.2 ampere through the output trip circuit. When current operated, the output circuit must be limited to 30 amperes for 0.2 seconds, 7 amperes for 2 minutes, and 3 amperes continuously. BE1-46N General Information...

Manufacturing Company part number 9962 or equivalent is recommended.) POWER SUPPLY Basler Electric enhanced the power supply design for unit case relays. This new design created three, wide range power supplies that replace the five previous power supplies. Style number identifiers for these power supplies have not been changed so that customers may order the same style numbers that they ordered previously.

SECTION 4 • INSTALLATION GENERAL When not shipped as part of a control or switchgear panel, BE1-46N Negative Sequence Overcurrent relays are shipped in sturdy cartons to prevent damage during transit. Immediately upon receipt of a relay, check the model and style number against the requisition and packing list to see that they agree. Visually inspect the relay for damage that may have occurred during shipment.

Typical internal connections are shown in Figure 4-10. Relays that operate using phase currents to determine the negative sequence component are sensitive to phase rotation. BE1-46N Negative Sequence Overcurrent Relays are phase rotation sensitive. All connections shown in this manual assume ABC rotation.
SECTION 5 • TESTING GENERAL Although the BE1-46N is designed to monitor three-phase currents, verification of the relay pickup and dropout can be accomplished by using a single-phase source. To verify all three phases using a single- phase current source, repeat the operational test procedure for each of the three phases.

Step 2. Adjust current source to apply 2.4 A (25% I or 0.25 pu) to the phase A input and set the front panel controls as follows: PICKUP and ALARM to 05. K-SET to 10. MAX TIME to 10. BE1-46N Testing...

We find t = 160 seconds. But, because the MAX TIME was set for 10 (100 seconds), trip occurred at 100 seconds. This concludes the operational test. To test all three phase inputs, repeat the test procedures applying the single-phase current source input to phase B inputs and then phase C inputs. BE1-46N Testing...
Always test the relay before placing it in operation. Where special components are involved, Basler Electric part numbers may be obtained from the number stamped on the component or assembly, the schematic, or parts list. These parts may be ordered directly from Basler Electric.
Added “Max Time” to Section 3. Timing in Section 5, changed Step 5 from “MAX TIME” to “time required for.” Changed the format of the manual and corrected minor errors. Updated the drawings in section 4 to reflect the latest S1 Case 12263/02-09-01 drawings. BE1-46N Manual Change Information...
