November 1998 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.
Phase Fault Detection BE1-50 relays can be used in two ways to detect phase faults. The first method is to place an instantaneous overcurrent element in each phase with the setting higher than expected load current for any power system...
Style number identification chart (Figure 1-3) defines the electrical characteristics and operational features included in BE1-50 relays. For example, if the style number were J6J A1P J1E1F, the device would have the following: 3-phase-and-neutral sensing Phase sensing input range of 4.0 to 32 amperes.
Power Supply Power supply Types F, G, and H derive operating power from the sensing inputs at a maximum burden of 5 VA per phase at pickup. Externally powered power supply ratings are shown in Table 1-2. BE1-50 General Information...

SECTION 3 • FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION GENERAL BE1-50 Instantaneous Overcurrent Relays are static devices that respond to the current magnitude of the monitored circuit. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Figure 3-1 is a functional block diagram of the BE1-50 Instantaneous Overcurrent Relay. Figure 3-1. Functional Block Diagram...
Target indicators may be reset with the manual reset lever. 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.
If the power supply voltage fails or falls below requirements, the power supply status output relay will deenergize, closing its contact. If the power supply status output is provided, then auxiliary output contacts are not available. BE1-50 Functional Description...
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.

If present, the target indicator for the tested phase (or neutral) should be actuated. Step 6. Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for each phase and neutral as necessary for your style relay. (Neutral sensing ranges may be different than the phase sensing range.) BE1-50 Testing...
TEST PLUG Test plugs (Basler part number 10095 or G.E. part number XLA12A1) provide a quick, easy method of testing relays without removing them from their case. Test plugs are simply substituted for the connection plugs.

Corrected Figure 2-1 from “Instantaneous Undercurrent Relay” to “Instantaneous Overcurrent Relay.” Added new power supply information to Section 3 starting with “Basler Electric enhanced the power supply design...” Divided Section 4, Installation into two sections Section 4, Installation and Section 5, Testing . Added new dimension figures to include all options available (S1 Single-Ended and Double-Ended, and both mounting positions) to Section 4.
