9170200990 1 • Introduction The BE1-25 is a solid-state synchronism check relay designed to permit breaker closure when the desired maximum phase angle conditions have held for a specified minimum time. The maximum allowable phase angle and time delay requirements can be set on front panel thumbwheel switches. Five voltage measuring options are available that identify significant line and bus voltage conditions, and this information is used to influence the relay output.
Page 10
It is permissible to operate the line input in either the same mode or a different mode than the bus input. This flexibility allows the BE1-25 to be used, for example, to close a generator breaker onto a dead bus, or to prevent closure if the generator and/or bus voltage is too high.
Page 11
Figure 1-3 shows closing zones obtained by combining average voltage difference, phase angle limit, and line and bus live/dead voltage limits. Figure 1-2. Closing Zone (Phasor Sensing) BE1-25 Introduction...
Page 12
Assuming that a constant voltage difference exists, the following condition is valid: If the magnitude of the line voltage decreases, the phase angle must also decrease to allow sync- acceptance. Therefore, the minimum line voltage possible for sync-acceptance occurs at zero phase angle. Introduction BE1-25...

Controls and Indicators chapter for location. Model and Style Number The electrical characteristics and operational features of the BE1-25 Sync-Check Relays are defined by a combination of letters and numbers that make up its Style Number. The model number, together with the Style Number, describes the options included in a specific device, and appears on the front panel, drawout cradle, and inside the case assembly.
Page 15
9170200990 Style Number Example The Style Number identification chart (Figure 1-6) defines the electrical characteristics and operational features included in BE1-25 relays. For example, if the Style Number were M9H-A6P-N4R0F, the device would have the following: BE1-25 Model Number (designates the relay as a Basler Electric, Class 100, Sync-Check Relay)
2 • Controls and Indicators BE1-25 controls and indicators are located on the front panel and right-side interior. The controls and indicators are shown in Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2, and described in Table 2-1. Your relay may not have all of the controls and indicators shown and described here.

9170200990 3 • Functional Description BE1-25 Sync-Check Relays are static devices that use digital circuitry to provide a breaker closure signal when the phase and voltage difference between two voltage inputs, typically line and bus, are within preset limits. The functional block diagram in Figure 3-1 illustrates the overall operation of the BE1-25 Sync-Check Relay.
Page 24
Isolated sensing (Option 1-5), uses current supplied by the relay to monitor the isolated contacts. Non-isolated sensing (Option 1-4), monitors an external dc source whose nominal voltage is equal to the input to the BE1-25 power supply. Power Supply Operating power for the relay circuitry is supplied by a wide range, electrically isolated, low-burden power supply.

The relay SYNC output is directly applied to drive the target indicator. The indicator is illuminated regardless of the amount of current flowing through the output contact. Current Operated Target A current operated target is triggered when at least 200 milliamperes of current flows through the SYNC output contact. BE1-25 Functional Description...

9170200990 Note Prior to September 2007, BE1-25 the target indicator consisted of a magnetically latched, disc indicator. This mechanically latched target indicator has been replaced by the electronically latched LED target in use today. Functional Description BE1-25...
9170200990 4 • Installation BE1-25 relays are shipped in sturdy cartons to prevent damage during transit. Upon receipt of a relay, check the model and style number against the requisition and packing list to see that they agree. Inspect the relay for shipping damage. If there is evidence of damage, file a claim with the carrier, and notify your sales representative or Basler Electric.
