  • Page 6: Section 1 General Information

    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.

  • Page 9: Model Numbers

    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 SW8-3 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.

  • Page 10: Specifications

    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 Burden Burden is non-linear. (Figure 1-3 illustrates the device burden.) (1 Ampere Unit) At 0.1 amperes, Z = 120 ohms. At 1.0 ampere, Z = 5 ohms. (5 Ampere Unit) At 0.5 amperes, Z = 4.8 ohms. At 5.0 amperes, Z = 0.2 ohms. Figure 1-3.
  • Page 12 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.
  • Page 13 Figure 1-5. Instantaneous Characteristic Curves INST Characteristics - Continued On 100 series relays, additional delays of 0.1, 0.2, or 0.3 seconds may be added with internal switches SW8-2 and -3. These delays apply to both phase and ground applications. Closing switch SW8-2 provides an additional delay of 0.1 second.
  • Page 14 Time Characteristics - Continued Refer to Tables 1-3 or 1-4 for the time characteristic curve constants. Constants have been selected to conform to the characteristics of electromechanical relays over a range of pickup multiples from 1.3 to 40. Values of the constants are available for use in computer relay setting programs.

    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.

  • Page 36: Power-Off Sensing

    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...
