December 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.
Sensitive voltage relays can be used to detect ground faults where the fault current is very small. The BE1-59N Ground Fault Overvoltage Relay is especially suited to this task.
Electrical characteristics and operational features included in a specific relay are defined by a combination of letters and numbers which makes up the device style number. The model number, BE1-59N, designates the device as a Basler Electric Class 100 Ground Fault Overvoltage protective 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.

SECTION 3 • FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION GENERAL The BE1-59N Ground Fault Overvoltage Relay is a solid state digital device that is designed to detect ground faults. The functional block diagram of Figure 3-1 illustrates the overall operation of the relay. Figure 3-1. Functional Block Diagram...
The panel mounted undervoltage inhibit potentiometer is continuously adjustable from 40 to 120 Vac for 100/120 Vac sensing input, and 80 to 240 Vac for the 200/240 Vac input. BE1-59N Functional Description...
A shorting bar is included in the relay case so that the status output terminals can provide a remote indication that the BE1-59N relay has been withdrawn from its case or taken out of service by removing the connection plug.
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.
