SECTION 2 • QUICK START GENERAL This section provides an overview of the BE1-951 Utility Multifunction Relay. You should be familiar with the concepts behind the user interfaces and BESTlogic before you begin reading about the detailed BE1-951 functions. Sections 3 through 6 in the Instruction Manual, describe each function of the BE1-951 in detail.
BESTlogic Each of the protection and control functions in the BE1-951 is implemented as an independent function block that is equivalent to a single function, discrete device counterpart. Each independent function block has all of the inputs and outputs that the discrete component counterpart might have. Programming BESTlogic is equivalent to choosing the devices required by your protection and control scheme and drawing schematic diagrams to connect the inputs and outputs to obtain the desired operational logic.
USER INTERFACES Two user interfaces are provided for interacting with the BE1-951 relay: one is the front panel HMI, and the other is ASCII communications. The front panel HMI provides access to a subset of the total functionality of the device.
Figure 2-2. Menu Screens Numbering Example ASCII Command Communications The BE1-951 relay has three independent communications ports for serial communications. A computer terminal or PC running a terminal emulation program such as Windows® HyperTerminal® can be connected to any of the three ports so that commands can be sent to the relay. Communication with the relay uses a simple ASCII command language.
In batch download type operations, the user creates an ASCII text file of commands and sends it to the relay. To facilitate this process, the response from a multiple read command is output from the BE1-951 in command format. So the user need only enter S for Set (with no subgroup) and the relay responds with all of the setting commands and their associated parameters.
The BE1-951 measures the A phase, B phase, and C phase current magnitudes directly from the three current sensing inputs. The neutral and negative sequence magnitudes are calculated from the fundamental component of each of the three-phase currents.
What voltage level is used to develop current flow through the contact sensing inputs? Voltage level is dependent on the power supply option (called out in the BE1-951 style chart). See Section 12, Installation , for additional information. TP1-1021 Quick Start Courtesy of NationalSwitchgear.com...
Page 36
The answer to the question is yes and no. In general, once the fault goes away the output contacts open. The BE1-951 does offer an option to ensure that the contact will stay closed for at least 200 milliseconds. See Section 3, Input And Output Functions for additional information on that function.
Page 37
Can the IRIG signal be daisy-chained to multiple BE1-951 units? Yes, multiple BE1-951 units can use the same IRIG-B input signal by daisy chaining the BE1-951 inputs. The burden data is nonlinear, approximately 4 kilo-ohms at 3.5 Vdc and 3 kilo-ohms at 20 Vdc.

BE1-951 uses for calculating the power quantities. POWER SYSTEM INPUTS Power system inputs as described in the introduction, are sampled 12 times per cycle by the BE1-951. The BE1-951 measures the voltage and current from these samples and uses those measurements to calculate other quantities.
Power system frequency is monitored on the A phase voltage input or the AB voltage input when in three- wire mode. When the applied voltage is greater than 10 volts, the BE1-951 measures the frequency. The measured frequency is used by the 81 function and applies to all measurements and calculations .
A, B, or C based on sensing type and 3
5V Measurement Functions Setup Current Input Circuit Settings. The BE1-951 requires setting information on the CT ratio. These settings are used by the metering and fault reporting functions to display measured quantities in primary units.
1. Enter the following parameters: VT ratio is 2400:120, connected single phase to A-N. The 27/59 and 51/27R modes must be PN in this case so this parameter is optional. >SG-VTP=2400:120,AN,PN,PN or SG-VTP=20,AN,PN,PN Input and Output Functions BE1-951 Courtesy of NationalSwitchgear.com...
Nominal voltage(s) of the external dc source(s) must fall within the relay dc power supply input voltage range. To enhance user flexibility, the BE1-951 relay uses wide range ac/dc power supplies that cover several common control voltage ratings. To further enhance flexibility, the input circuits are designed to respond to voltages at the lower end of the control voltage range while not overheating at the high end of the control voltage range.
* Since the input conditioning function is evaluated every quarter cycle, the setting is internally rounded to the nearest multiple of 4.16 milliseconds (60 Hz systems) or 5 milliseconds (50 Hz systems). Input and Output Functions BE1-951 Courtesy of NationalSwitchgear.com...
OUTPUTS BE1-951 relays have five general purpose output contacts (OUT1 through OUT5) and one fail-safe, normally closed (when de-energized), alarm output contact (OUTA). Each output is isolated and rated for tripping duty. OUT1 through OUT5 are Form A (normally open) and OUTA is Form B (normally closed).
If the tripping contact opens before the dc current is interrupted, the contact may be damaged. Of the three items, only item three is an issue for electronic relays like the BE1-951. To prevent the output relay contacts from opening prematurely, a hold timer can hold the output contact closed for a minimum of 200 milliseconds.
Pulsing an Output Contact Pulsing BE1-951 outputs provides the same function as the push-to-energize feature of other Basler Electric solid-state relays. This feature is useful when testing the protection and control system. When pulsed, an output contact changes from the current state (as determined by the virtual output logic expression) to the opposite state for 200 milliseconds.
A 0 or 1 indicates that the logic has been overridden and the contact is held open (0) or closed (1) state. A P indicates that the contact is being pulsed and will return to logic control automatically. See Section 6, Reporting and Alarm Functions, General Status Reporting for more information. 3-10 Input and Output Functions BE1-951 Courtesy of NationalSwitchgear.com...

SECTION 4 • PROTECTION AND CONTROL INTRODUCTION The BE1-951 provides many functions that can be used to protect and control power system equipment in and around a protected zone. BE1-951 protection functions include: Instantaneous Overcurrent with Settable Time Delay (50TP, 50TN, 50TQ, 150TP, 150TN, 150TQ)
SGCON time setting. This output can be used in the programmable alarms function if it is desired to monitor when the BE1-951 changes to a new setting group. See Section 6, Reporting and Alarms Functions, Alarms Function for more information on using alarm outputs.
Selection of the active setting group provided by this function logic can also be overridden. When logic override is used, a setting group is made active and the BE1-951 stays in that group regardless of the state of the manual logic control conditions.
For instance, if the relay senses current drop below a very small amount for a period of time, indicating an open breaker, then the relay may move to an Protection and Control BE1-951 Courtesy of NationalSwitchgear.com...

6, Reporting and Alarm Functions, General Status Reporting provides more information about determining logic override status. OVERCURRENT PROTECTION The BE1-951 includes instantaneous elements for Phase, Neutral, and Negative Sequence, as well as time- overcurrent elements for Phase, Neutral or Ground, and Negative Sequence. 50T Instantaneous Overcurrent Protection with Settable Time Delay There are two BESTlogic elements for phase (50TP and 150TP), two elements for ground (50TN and 150TN), and two elements for negative sequence (50TQ and 150TQ) instantaneous overcurrent protection.
>SL-50TN=G,IN1 NOTE If the BE1-951 has 5 ampere phase inputs and a 1 ampere independent ground input, the valid pickup setting range of the neutral overcurrent functions will depend on the logic mode setting which designates whether the three-phase residual or the independent ground input is to be monitored.

If the nominal frequency setting is being changed from the default (60 hertz), and time delay settings are being set in cycles, the frequency setting should be entered and saved before making any time delay settings changes. 4-14 Protection and Control BE1-951 Courtesy of NationalSwitchgear.com...
Reporting for more information. 51 Time-Overcurrent Element BE1-951 relays have one element for phase (51P), two elements for neutral (51N and 151N), and one element for negative sequence (51Q) inverse time-overcurrent protection. Figure 4-9 shows the 51 elements. The 51N, 151N, and 51Q elements are identical in configuration. Each element has two outputs: Pickup (PU) and Trip (T).

Due to minute errors in the sample rate and variations in the power system, the memory voltage becomes less accurate over time. Conservatively, the BE1-951 can maintain memory voltage accuracy to less than 5° error for approximately one second. This should be adequate, as close in faults are expected to trip in very short time intervals.
The directional algorithm requires the power line impedance parameters. These parameters are inputted into the BE1-951 using the SG-LINE command. Table 4-14. SG-LINE Command Settings...
Angle compensation is not required for current polarization since the polarizing quantity IG is inherently compensated. Internally, the BE1-951 also uses several constant limits to determine if the system levels are adequate to perform reliable directional tests and set directional bits. See Table 4-15 Table 4-15.

SL-VO Command Purpose: Programs a logical mode of operation for a virtual output. Syntax: SL-VO<x>[=<equation>] BE1-951 BESTlogic Programmable Logic Courtesy of NationalSwitchgear.com...
A virtual output exists only as a logical state inside the relay. A hardware output is a physical relay contact that can be used for protection or control. Each BE1-951 relay has five isolated, normally open (NO) output contacts (OUT1 – OUT5) and one isolated, normally closed (NC) alarm output (OUTA). Output contacts OUT1 through OUT5 are controlled by the status of the internal virtual logic signals VO1 through VO5.

When used with other programmable relays using BUS and BACKUP logic schemes, FDR-W-IL logic provides protection when the feeder relay is out of service. Basler Electric protective relays that incorporate a BUS and BACKUP logic scheme are the BE1-851 Overcurrent Protection System, the BE1-951 Overcurrent Protection System, and the BE1-CDS Current Differential System.
When any of the feeder relay overcurrent function blocks are picked up, OUT4 closes. The signal from OUT4 is intended for connection to IN2 of an upstream BE1-951 using BUS logic. When the upstream relay recognizes an external contact closure on IN2, the upstream relay will block its 50T elements that are set to trip the bus breaker or bus lockout relay (OUT3 of BUS relay).
This feature provides backup mode signaling when the feeder relay is extracted from the case. Backup for relay failure can be implemented using the BUS and BACKUP preprogrammed logic schemes. These schemes are described in detail in the Bus and Backup Logic Schemes subsection. BE1-951 Application 8-25 Courtesy of NationalSwitchgear.com...

On occasion, an application will call for latching an output contact such as simulating a lockout (86) function. Each output contact of a Basler relay can be set to latch by using an AND gate to seal the trip condition and the TRSTKEY logic variable to reset the latch.

Basler Electric performs detailed acceptance testing on all devices to verify all functions meet published specifications. All products are packaged and shipped with the strictest of standards. The BE1-951 relay is a microprocessor-based relay whose operating characteristics will not change over time. The relay will also not experience any change in operating characteristics during transit.
TESTING AND TROUBLESHOOTING AIDS Under test or in-service, the BE1-951 provides several ways to check operations, targets, or events. A continuous self-test monitors the system health and status. The most basic reporting function is targets. Targets may be viewed through ASCII command interface or through the front panel HMI. Fault Summary Reports, Sequence of Events Recorder (SER) Reports, and Oscillographic Records yield more detail.
Performing these steps tests each function of the BE1-951 relay to validate that the relay was manufactured properly and that no degradation of performance occurred as a result of shipping.
Purpose: To verify that the BE1-951 relay communicates through all ports. Reference Commands: ACCESS, EXIT To communicate with the BE1-951 through any of the three ports, use a terminal immulation program such as Hyperterminal or VT-100 terminal running on a personal computer (PC) with a serial port that is suitable for communications.
Connect the RS-485 output of the converter box to the relay RS-485 terminals and repeat steps 1, 2 and 3. Style Number And Serial Number Verification Purpose: To verify that the BE1-951 relay model number, style number, and current software program version matches the unit and unit labels. Reference Commands: R.-VER Step 1 Through any communications port, transmit the command RG-VER.
M command to the relay. Readings should be: M-VB=100 volts, M-VAB=100 volts, M-VBC=100 volts, M-3V0=100 volts, and M-V2=33.4 volts (applied divided by 3), all at + 1.0%. HMI Screens 3.1, 3.2, and 3.4 can also be monitored to verify voltage measurements. BE1-951 Testing and Maintenance 13-7...
Also note that the power factor angle is near 0 with a positive sign indicating a leading power factor angle. Step 6 Repeat Step 2 and 4 for current values of 10 and 20 amps. Corresponding power reading should be 3 kw/kvar and 6 kw /kvar + 1.0%. 13-8 Testing and Maintenance BE1-951 Courtesy of NationalSwitchgear.com...
Also, please be aware that because of the multi-function nature of the BE1-951 relay, it may on occasion be necessary to temporarily disable some of the protective elements while testing the relay to facilitate isolated testing of individual functions.
All connected or monitored inputs and outputs, and polarity and phase rotation of ac connections should be tested. Verify that: BE1-951 Testing and Maintenance 13-11...
Fault records. Refer to Section 6, Reporting and Alarm Functions for more detail. Please be aware that because of the multi-function nature of the BE1-951 relay, it may be necessary to disable protection elements or change setting logic to verify a specific function. To guard against placing the relay in service with unwanted operational or logic settings, it is good practice to save a copy of the original setting file before the testing process begins.
RS-NEW [= 0] command two times. Verify that new records is "0" by transmitting the RS command. Refer to Section 6, Sequence of Events Recorder Function , for setting details. BE1-951 Testing and Maintenance 13-13 Courtesy of NationalSwitchgear.com...
Save this record along with the RG-STAT record mentioned earlier for future reference. PERIODIC TESTING Because the BE1-951 has extensive internal test capabilities, periodic testing of the protection system can be greatly reduced. Relay operating characteristics are a function of programming instructions that do not drift over time.
(capacitor backup). The backup battery should be replaced after five years of operation. The recommended battery is a lithium 3.6V, 0.95Ah battery (Basler PN: 9 3187 00 012) (Applied Power PN: BM551902). Use the following instructions to replace the battery: To Replace Battery in H1 Case Step 1 Remove the unit from the case.
BE1-951 contains no internal jumpers or mechanical settings and requires no circuit-board level calibration. The BE1-951 can be fully drawn out of the case. When the drawout assembly is removed, the current transformer input circuits are automatically shorted by the case. The case contains no components that are likely to require service;...
These tests are also suitable for assisting in systematic troubleshooting in the event that an operation is questioned. Revisiting the test of a specific function can help verify whether the relay is operating within specified tolerances. For further assistance, contact Basler Electric, Technical Support Services Department.

CHARACTERISTIC CURVES GENERAL Basler Electric inverse time-overcurrent relays (ANSI Device 51) provide time/current characteristic curves that closely emulate most of the common electromechanical, induction disk relays manufactured in North America. To further improve relay coordination, selection of integrated reset or instantaneous reset characteristics is also provided.
Page 378
Curve S1R has integrated reset. TIME-OVERCURRENT CHARACTERISTIC CURVE GRAPHS Figures A-1 through A-17 illustrate the characteristic curves of the BE1-951 relay. Table A-2 cross- references each curve to existing electromechanical relay characteristics. Equivalent time dial settings were calculated at a value of five times pickup. A drawing number is provided in the caption of each graph.
Page 379
Basler Electric relays are not identical to the settings of electromechanical induction disk overcurrent relays. Table A-3 helps you convert the time dial settings of induction disk relays to the equivalent setting for Basler Electric relays. Enter time dial settings at HMI screens 5.X.4.1 (51P), 5.X.4.2 (51N), 5.X.4.3 (151N), and 5.X.4.4 (51Q).
Page 380
In applications where the time coordination between curves is extremely close, we recommend that you choose the optimal time dial setting by inspection of the coordination study. In applications where coordination is tight, it is recommended that you retrofit your circuits with Basler Electric electronic relays to ensure high timing accuracy.
