BE1-50/51M-222 General Information Harmonic Response BE1-50/51M-222 harmonic rejection is illustrated in Figure 1-4. Figure 1-4 shows that a relay set for one ampere pickup would pickup at 0.96 ampere on a current containing 40% seventh harmonic. This corresponds to a ten-to-one rejection ratio. Other conditions may be evaluated in the same manner.

Closing SW8-4 selects the integrating reset characteristic. The integrating reset characteristic simulates the disk reset of electromechanical relays. BE1-50/51M-222 relays provide the integrating reset function even when input current falls to zero. Integrating reset characteristics are shown in Figure 1-6.

SECTION 3 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION GENERAL BE1-50/51M-222 Overcurrent Relays are microprocessor based non-directional relays that measure ac current to provide secure and reliable instantaneous and time overcurrent protection for power systems. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Sensing Input Single phase ac current from system current transformers (CT) is brought into the BE1-50/51M Overcurrent Relay at terminals eight and nine.
BE1-50/51M-222 Functional Description The microprocessor performs the program operations based on the inputs and the internal software program. When the sensed current exceeds the TIME PICKUP setting, the TIME PICKUP LED is turned ON. TIME contacts (51 and 51 AUX) are closed in accordance with the time characteristic curve. If the sensed current exceeds the INST PICKUP setting, the INST contacts (50) are closed.
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. Proper operation of the relay may be confirmed by performing the operational test procedure in Section 5, Testing .
BE1-50/51M-222 Installation %100'%6+105 Incorrect wiring may result in damage to the relay. Be sure to check model and part number before connecting and energizing a particular relay. NOTE Be sure the ground terminal is hard-wired to the relay panel with no smaller than 12 AWG copper wire attached to the ground terminal on the rear of the terminal strip.
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. Proper operation of the relay may be confirmed by performing the operational test procedures in this Section.
BE1-50/51M-222 Testing NOTES When testing TIME overcurrent functions, INST PICKUP settings of 00 will affect the calibration of the TIME functions. TIME PICKUP settings of 00 also affect INST functions. Test Procedure Time Pickup Test Perform preliminary setup: Connect test setup as shown in Figure 5-1.
Page 37
BE1-50/51M-222 Testing Step 4. Slowly increase current to terminals 8 and 9. INST contacts should close at an input current of 7.815 to 8.185 amperes. Step 5. Decrease input current until INST output contacts open. Time Dial Test Perform preliminary setup: Connect test setup as shown in Figure 5-1.

BE1-50/51M-222 Testing Manual Trip Test Perform preliminary setup: Connect test setup as shown in Figure 5-2. Insure that SW8 switches are set correctly: SW8-1 for operating frequency, SW8-2 to OFF (no instantaneous delay), SW8-3 to OFF (no instantaneous delay), and SW8-4 to OFF (selects instantaneous reset).
All relays should be tested periodically to identify and correct any problems that are found. Single phase relays such as the BE1-50/51M-222 are normally used in groups of four (three phase and ground) on the protected circuit. Only three are required at any one time to provide complete protection.

BE1-50/51M-222 Maintenance Periodic Test Periodic testing should consist of the following procedures. Step 1. Verify that the instantaneous pickup is within ±2% of the value set on the dials. Pickup occurs when the INST output contacts close. Step 2. Verify that the time pickup is within ±2% of the value set on the dials. Pickup occurs when the LED turns ON.
