The BE1-60 Voltage Balance Relay provides a high-speed response to block other devices from incorrect operation resulting from a blown fuse or other fault in a potential transformer circuit. The BE1-60 detects these conditions, initiates corrective action, and indicates the problem and location.
This condition would warrant an alarm indication and an orderly shutdown of the unit. The BE1-60 Circuit 1 output would accomplish this task and the Circuit 1 target would indicate that an open power potential transformer fuse had initiated the correct shutdown sequence.
E or F. OPERATIVE EXAMPLE The following example details the effect that the BE1-60 would have on the system shown in Figure 1-1. Given: Potential transformer secondary voltages are 120 Vac BE1-51/27R pickup setting is 4.5 Aac...

Target indicators are manually reset by operating the target reset switch (locator D). Output Test Pushbutton The BE1-60 may be equipped with two pushbuttons (Circuit 1 (optional) and Circuit 2) that can be used to verify operation of the relay output contacts.
STEP-DOWN TRANSFORMERS Voltage received from the power system potential transformers is applied to sensing transformers within the BE1-60 relay. The voltage is stepped down to appropriate levels and supplied to full-wave rectifier circuits within the relay. FULL-WAVE RECTIFIERS AND INTEGRATORS Outputs from the step-down transformers are full-wave rectified and then integrated.
Circuit 1 output relay(s) and the upper pushbutton energizes the Circuit 2 output relay(s). AUXILIARY OUTPUTS Two sets of optional, auxiliary outputs are available on the BE1-60 relay. One auxiliary output changes state when the Circuit 1 output relay energizes; the other auxiliary output changes state when the Circuit 2 output relay energizes.
200 milliamperes of current flowing in the trip circuit. NOTE Prior to September 2007, BE1-60 target indicators consisted of magnetically latched, disc indicators. These mechanically latched target indicators have been replaced by the electronically latched LED targets in use today.

SECTION 4 • INSTALLATION INTRODUCTION BE1-60 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.
Incorrect wiring may result in damage to the relay. Except where noted, connections should be made with wire no smaller than 14 AWG. Connections for each of the six sensing types are shown in Figure 4-7. Typical output connections are shown in Figure 4-8. Figure 4-7. Sensing Input Connections BE1-60 Installation 9170700990 Rev D...
Figure 4-8. Typical Output Connections MAINTENANCE BE1-60 relays require no preventative maintenance other than a periodic operational check. If the relay fails to function properly, contact Technical Sales Support at Basler Electric to coordinate repairs. STORAGE This protective relay contains aluminum electrolytic capacitors which generally have a life expectancy in excess of 10 years at storage temperatures less than 40°C (104°F).

SECTION 5 • TESTING OPERATIONAL TEST PROCEDURE The following procedure verifies operation of the BE1-60 Voltage Balance Relay. Stated voltages refer to line-to-neutral for single-phase and wye inputs, and line-to-line for delta inputs. Terminal numbers may be found in Section 4, Installation. Target indicators, if present, should operate in conjunction with their corresponding output.
