  • Page 9 Fig. 10 shows an example of generator current decay for a 3 phase fault and a phase-phase fault. For a 3 phase fault, the fault current decays below the pickup level of the 51 relay in approximately one second. If the time delay of the 51 can be selectively set to operate before the current drops to pickup, the relay will provide 3 phase fault protection.
  • Page 10 Fig. 11 to remove any concerns about ability to operate before the generator current drops too low. The voltage feature allows the relays to be set below rated current. The Basler BE1-951, BE1-1051, BE1-GPS100, and BE1-51/27R voltage restrained approach causes the pickup to decrease with decreasing voltage.

Since motoring can occur during a large reactive-power flow, the real power component needs to be measured at low power factors. The BE1-32R measures real power down to 0.1 pf. The BE1-951, BE1-1051, and BE1-GPS measure real power down to below 0.01 pf, depending on current magnitude.
