SECTION 1 • GENERAL INFORMATION DESCRIPTION BE1-51 Time Overcurrent Relays are microprocessor based devices that monitor the magnitude of single- phase, two-phase-and-neutral, or three-phase-and-neutral ac current to provide accurate time overcurrent and instantaneous overcurrent protection for 50 hertz or 60 hertz power systems.
When timing option Z1, Z2, or Z3 is specified, a printed circuit board mounted selector switch allows a choice of up to sixteen different time overcurrent functions. Timing option Z1 or Z3 may be further specified as stan- dard or extended time, depending upon option 2 selection. BE1-51 - General Information...
Optional front panel mounted PUSH-TO-ENERGIZE-OUTPUT pushbuttons allow direct actuation of each output relay for external circuit testing. Instantaneous Outputs One or two instantaneous overcurrent outputs are optionally available. Each is adjustable up to 40 times the BE1-51 - General Information...
Use an extender card (Basler Electric part number: 9 1655 00 100) to test and troubleshoot the relay. An available test plug (Basler Electric part number: 10095 or G.E. part number 12XLA12A1) allows the relay to be tested in place without disturbing external control circuit wiring.

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.

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.
