To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, only qualified personnel should perform the procedures presented in this manual.
SECTION 1 • GENERAL INFORMATION DESCRIPTION BE1-50/51M Overcurrent Relays are microprocessor based, non-directional phase or ground relays that monitor the magnitude of a single phase ac current to provide accurate instantaneous and time overcurrent protection for 50 hertz or 60 hertz power systems. Models are available with fifteen popular time characteristics and a wide range of pickup settings.

MODEL NUMBERS Model number variations in the BE1-50/51M Overcurrent Relays are specified by a three digit extension to the model number. Tables 1-1 and 1-2 provide model number, case style, switch SW3-3 selections, and sensing current input ranges. Internal switches provide for selecting system operating frequencies of 50 or 60 hertz, instantaneous element delays, curve sets, and instantaneous or integrating reset characteristics.
SPECIFICATIONS BE1-50/51M Overcurrent Relays are available with the following features and capabilities. Current Sensing Input (1 Ampere Unit) Continuous current: 2.8 amperes. One second current: 80 amperes. (5 Ampere Unit) Continuous current: 14 amperes. One second current: 400 amperes. TIME PICKUP Range Setting the TIME PICKUP below the minimum pickup (0.1 on the 1 ampere unit and 0.5 on the 5 ampere unit), places the relay in the most sensitive state and may be used as a safety setting.
Page 11
INST PICKUP Accuracy (1 Ampere Unit) ±2% ±5 milliamperes at or above 0.2 ampere settings. (5 Ampere Unit) ±2% ±25 milliamperes at or above 1.0 ampere settings. Frequency Response A change of ±5 hertz from the nominal 50/60 hertz current causes less than 0.5% change in the current required for pickup.

Harmonic Response BE1-50/51M 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.

SECTION 3 • FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION GENERAL BE1-50/51M 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.
Power-Off Sensing In 200 series relays, the power-off sensing circuits measure the decaying voltage to determine the length of time that power is removed (zero current). This provides information for the integrating reset function even when power has been entirely removed. Outputs Instantaneous And Timed System circuit breakers controlled by the output contacts can be manually tripped by applying a short across the...
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. 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.
CONNECTIONS 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 procedure in this Section.
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, Models BE1-50/51M-X04 and -X09 (Five Ampere Sensing Input) Time Pickup Test Perform preliminary setup: Connect test setup as shown in Figure 5-1.
Page 47
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. Insure that SW3 switches are set correctly: SW3-1 for operating frequency, SW3-2 to OFF (no instantaneous delay), SW3-3 to OFF (no instantaneous delay (100 series relays) or ABB type curves selected (200 series relays) ), and SW3-4 to OFF (selects instantaneous reset).
Page 48
Manual Trip Test Perform preliminary setup: Connect test setup as shown in Figure 5-2. Insure that SW3 switches are set correctly: SW3-1 for operating frequency, SW3-2 to OFF (no instantaneous delay), SW3-3 to OFF (no instantaneous delay (100 series relays) or ABB type curves selected (200 series relays) ), and SW3-4 to OFF (selects instantaneous reset).
Test Procedure, Models BE1-50/51M-X00 and -X08 (One Ampere Sensing Input) Time Pickup Test Perform preliminary setup: Connect test setup as shown in Figure 5-1. Insure that SW3 switches are set correctly: SW3-1 for operating frequency, SW3-2 to OFF (no instantaneous delay), SW3-3 to OFF (no instantaneous delay (100 series relays) or ABB type curves selected (200 series relays) ), and SW3-4 to OFF (selects instantaneous reset).

Time Dial Test Perform preliminary setup: Connect test setup as shown in Figure 5-1. Insure that SW3 switches are set correctly: SW3-1 for operating frequency, SW3-2 to OFF (no instantaneous delay), SW3-3 to OFF (no instantaneous delay (100 series relays) or ABB type curves selected (200 series relays) ), and SW3-4 to OFF (selects instantaneous reset).
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. Step 1. Set target current source to 1.0 ampere, ac. Step 2. Apply 0.15 ampere input current to terminals 8 and 9. Step 3.
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 changes from green to red.
A recommended periodic test is provided in this section. If the relay fails to function properly, contact the Customer Service Department of the Power Systems Group, Basler Electric, for a return authorization number prior to shipping.

Step 3. Verify that the time to trip for the curve and time dial settings at a multiple of six is the same as the time given on the characteristic curve. Refer to Section 1 for the characteristics curves. Step 4. Verify that the time to trip for the instantaneous element at a pickup multiple of 2 is not greater than the time given on the instantaneous characteristic curve.
