    Through BESTCOMSPlus, all BE1-11m settings and logic can be retained in a file for printing or uploading to other BE1-11m protection systems. Oscillography and sequential events records can be retrieved from a BE1-11m, viewed, and printed.
  • Page 14 Three free-form fields (Device ID, Station ID, and User ID) can be used to enter information to identify the BE1-11m. These fields are used by many of the reporting functions to identify the BE1-11m reporting the information. Examples of BE1-11m identification field uses include motor name and motor number.
  • Page 15 NTP synchronizes the real-time clock to network time servers through the Ethernet port. BESTCOMSPlus is used to establish the priority of time reference sources available to the BE1-11m, IRIG-B, NTP, DNP, and RTC (real-time clock). The NTP address is set using BESTCOMSPlus.
  • Page 16 BESTlogicPlus. Alarms Extensive self-diagnostics will trigger a fatal relay trouble alarm if any of the BE1-11m core functions are compromised. Fatal relay trouble alarms are not programmable and are dedicated to the Alarm output (OUTA) and the front panel Relay Trouble LED. Additional relay trouble alarms and all other alarm functions are programmable for major or minor priority.
  • Page 17 BESTwave is included on the BE1-11 product CD. Sequence of Events Recorder A Sequence of Events Recorder (SER) records and time stamps all BE1-11m inputs and outputs as well as all alarm conditions monitored by the BE1-11m. Time stamp resolution is to the nearest half-cycle. I/O and Alarm reports can be extracted from the records as well as reports of events recorded during the time span associated with a specific fault report.
  • Page 18 Optionally, an SEF (sensitive earth fault) version of the separate ground CT is available. Note BE1-11m protection systems enabled for IEC-61850 communication (style Mxxxx5xxxxxxxx) do not allow voltage controlled or restrained overcurrent elements. Blocking a 51 with an Undervoltage (27) element may allow control pending application requirements.

    This section describes the function and setup of each input and output. Contact-Sensing Inputs Either seven or 10 contact inputs are available to initiate BE1-11m protection system actions. Refer to the style chart for I/O options. Each isolated input requires an external wetting voltage. The nominal voltage(s) of the external dc source(s) must fall within the BE1-11m dc power supply input voltage range.

  • Page 97: Power (32) Protection

    To clarify the difference between Three of Three and Total Power modes, assume that Two of Three mode has been selected and the pickup setting is 30 watts. Therefore, the BE1-11m picks up when two of the three phases have exceeded 30 watts. Alternately, if two phases are zero (0) watts and the third phase is 70 watts, the BE1-11m does not pickup because two of the phases have not exceeded the pickup threshold required for operation in Two of Three mode.
  • Page 98 In addition to exceeding the power pickup threshold, direction of power flow (forward or reverse) must match the directional setting for the 32 element to operate. In the BE1-11m, the forward and reverse directions are defined by the polarity voltage and current connections to the BE1-11m as shown in Figure 16-1.
  • Page 99 Element Blocking Fuse Loss The fuse loss (60FL) element of the BE1-11m can be used to block 32 protection when fuse loss or loss of potential is detected in a three-phase system.

    Because this is a numerical BE1-11m whose characteristics are defined by software, Basler Electric does not require the user to test each operational setting in the BE1-11m. Successful completion of the Acceptance Test verifies proper response of the protection system’s input and output circuits as well as its response to all external sensing input quantities (voltage, current, frequency).

    The answer to the question is yes and no. In general, once the fault goes away the output contacts open. The BE1-11m does offer an option to ensure that the contact will stay closed for at least 200 milliseconds. See the Contact Inputs and Outputs chapter for additional information on that function. Also, a Set Priority Latch in BESTlogic™Plus can keep the relay outputs closed as long as power is applied.
