GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSE BE1-67N Ground Directional Overcurrent Relays provide ground fault protection for transmission and distribution lines by sensing the flow of ground (zero sequence) current into or out of protected zones. Zero sequence quantities provide a secure reference for the directional element because these quantities are defined by the total source impedance of the power system.

6JTGG9KPFKPI6TCPUHQTOGT OUTPUT CONTACTS BE1-67N relays have the following output contacts: relay status alarm (relay fail), tripping, and auxiliary (optional). Relay Status Alarm A relay status alarm output contact (relay fail) indicates that proper voltages are not being supplied to the internal relay circuitry or that the microprocessor self-diagnostics has detected an error.
POWER SUPPLY OPTIONS Various power supply options are available to allow the BE1-67N relay to be used with standard supply voltages. See the Style Chart for details. POWER-UP DELAY A power-up delay timer is initiated upon application of control power to the relay to prevent undesired contact transitions when sensing signals are present.

BE1-67N Controls and Indicators Table 2-1. BE1-67N Controls and Indicators - Continued Locator Control or Indicator Function TAP CAL Control Multiturn potentiometer (continuous turns, no stops) allows screwdriver adjustment to the pickup level for the time overcurrent function. When this control is in the full clockwise position, the setting of the time overcurrent element is within +/- 5% of the selected tap setting.
SECTION 3 (70%6+10#.&'5%4+26+10 GENERAL BE1-67N Ground Directional Overcurrent Relays are microprocessor based time ground overcurrent relays with directional supervision. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The following paragraphs describe the relay circuit functions illustrated in Figure 3-1. Figure 3-1. Functional Block Diagram Current Sensing Internal current sensing transformers receive inputs from the 5 amperes (or optional 1 ampere) nominal secondary of standard transformers.
BE1-67N Functional Description tapped so that the relay range is determined by its external connections. External connections are listed in Table 3-1. Outputs from the sensing input transformers are applied to a scaling circuit that converts each of the input currents to a dc voltage level. Scaling is controlled by the TAP selector switch and the TAP CAL control on the front of the relay.

BE1-67N Functional Description A directional unit determines when the monitored power system quantities have the proper phase relationship for tripping. This unit has the following three types of directional capabilities that are selectable by a circuit board switch. One, zero sequence current polarization. Two, zero sequence voltage polarization.
Page 35
BE1-67N Functional Description must be 4 volts or more. Figure 3-3 shows the phase relationship between the sensed measured current I and the zero sequence voltage (V Figure 3-3. Zero Sequence Voltage Polarizing Phase Relationship (0 Characteristic Angle) The characteristic angle is front panel selectable for a line impedance angle of 0 or 60. This is the angle between V and the directional characteristic.
Extremely Inverse Instantaneous Overcurrent Elements BE1-67N relays may be optionally supplied with one or two instantaneous elements (one supervised by the directional unit). Instantaneous units are supplied from a separately obtained input signal, to permit a setting independent of the time overcurrent unit. Maximum operating times are as follows:...
Damage will result to the power supply and the relay if J4 link (jumper) is not properly installed. Figure 3-5. Power Supply Type Y Link Position Output Contacts BE1-67N relays have the following output contacts: Relay status alarm (relay fail) output contact Tripping output contacts Auxiliary output contacts (optional)
An auxiliary contact can be configured (via internal switches) to operate in parallel with any combination of tripping outputs. Configurable auxiliary outputs permit use of the BE1-67N relay in various carrier schemes.
If there is evidence of damage, immediately file a claim with the carrier and notify the Regional Sales Office, or contact the Sales Representative at Basler Electric, Highland, Illinois. In the event the relay is not to be installed immediately, store the relay in its original shipping carton in a moisture and dust free environment.
BE1-67N Installation Connections should be made with minimum wire size of 14 AWG except as noted for the ground wire. Typical sensing input connections are shown in Figures 4-1 and 4-2. Typical external connections are shown in Figure 4-3. Internal connections are shown in Figure 4-4.
BE1-67N Installation OPERATIONAL TEST PROCEDURE (Sensing Input Ranges 1 and 2) Preliminary Test Setup NOTE Confirm that the TEST/NORMAL switch (callout O of Figure 2-2) is in the NORMAL position. Step 1. Connect the circuit as shown in Figure 4-5.
BE1-67N Installation current level is within ± 5% of value given in Table 4-1. NOTE TAP switch position can be changed without disconnecting current sensing inputs. Table 4-1. Pickup Values for TAP Selector Positions TAP Selector Position Range High 1.125 1.500...
BE1-67N Installation Step 3. Apply (I ) input current of 2.0 A. Step 4. Adjust NON-DIR. INST control CCW slowly until the non-directional instantaneous relay activates (contacts 14 and 15 transfer). Step 5. Adjust polarizing voltage source (V ) for 4.0 Vac at 90 phase angle. Relay should stay tripped.
BE1-67N Installation Step 5. Vary the phase angle of V input through 360 and record phase angles with which the DIR. TIMING INHIBIT LED is extinguished. When shown on a polar plot, the result should be a V- shaped line (through the origin) from -15 to +135±5. This plot defines the trip region as shown in Figure 4-7.
