    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.
  • Page 36: Bestlogic

    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.

    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.
  • Page 40: Getting Started

    The BE1-951 measures the A phase, B phase, and C phase current magnitudes and angles directly from the three current sensing inputs. The neutral, positive, and negative-sequence magnitudes and angles are calculated from the fundamental component of each of the three-phase currents.
  • Page 41: Checking The State Of Inputs

    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.

    BE1-951 outputs. Each input and output is isolated and terminated at separate terminal blocks. This section describes the function and setup of each input and output and provides the equations that the BE1-951 uses for calculating the power quantities.
  • Page 48: Power Measurement

    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.
  • Page 49: Measurement Functions Setup

    Measurement Functions Setup The BE1-951 requires information about the power system and its current and voltage transformers to provide metering, fault reporting, fault location, and protective relaying. This information is entered using BESTCOMS. Alternately, it may be entered at the HMI (see Section 10, Human-Machine Interface) or through the communication port using the following ASCII commands: SG-CT, SG-VTP, SG-VTX, SG- FREQ, SG-NOM, and SG-PHROT.

  • Page 51: Contact Sensing Inputs

    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.
  • Page 52: Digital Input Conditioning Function

    138 – 200 Vac or Vdc Each BE1-951 is delivered without the contact-sensing jumpers installed for operation in the higher end of the control voltage range. If the contact sensing inputs are to be operated at the lower end of the control voltage range, the jumpers must be installed.

Labels are used by the BE1-951's reporting functions. To edit the settings or labels, select Inputs and Outputs from the Screens pull-down menu. Then select the Inputs 1-4 tab.
  • Page 54: Outputs

    OUTPUTS BE1-951 relays have five general-purpose output contacts (OUT1 through OUT5) and one fail-safe, normally closed/open (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 A or B (normally closed/open depending on style number).
  • Page 55: Retrieving Output Status

    Reporting, for more information. Relay Trouble Alarm Disable When the BE1-951 self-diagnostics function detects a relay problem, an internal alarm condition (ALMREL) is set. This alarm condition disables the outputs and de-energizes the OUTA relay, closing/opening (depending on style number) the OUTA contact. For more details about this function see Section 6, Reporting and Alarm Functions, Alarms Function.
  • Page 56: Output Logic Override Control

    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.

    LOGIC INTRODUCTION Multifunction relays such as the BE1-951 Overcurrent Protection System are similar in nature to a panel of single-function protective relays. Both must be wired together with ancillary devices to operate as a complete protection and control system. In the single-function static and electromechanical environment, elementary diagrams and wiring diagrams provide direction for wiring protective elements, switches, meters, and indicator lights into a unique protection and control system.

  • Page 206 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.
  • Page 207: The Active Logic Scheme

    The default, active logic scheme for the BE1-951 is named BASIC-OC. If the function block configuration and output logic of BASIC-OC meets the requirements of your application, then only the operating settings (power system parameters and threshold settings) need to be adjusted before placing the relay in service.
  • Page 208: Custom Logic Schemes

    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.
  • Page 261 Using the same transformer protection application as in the previous example, the user wants to trip and lockout the high side circuit switcher for a Sudden Pressure Relay trip. The user also wants a sealed annunciation on the HMI that reads "SPR_TRIP". 9328900990 Rev L BE1-951 Application 8-49...
  • Page 262 Also, reliability increases as the user is no longer depending on a single relay to sense the under frequency condition. If the BE1-951 is not available on every circuit or user philosophy requires a bus level installation, the BE1-951 can also be applied for bus level under frequency protection.
  • Page 263 A one-shot, non-retriggerable timer (62), initiated by the last lockout to reset (Input 1), is used to automatically reset the BE1-951 targets and Trip LED via "logic" input to the Target Reset Logic. (See Figure 6-4). Fault and Event records detailing the operation are available from the relay.

The preprogrammed logic schemes barely tap the flexibility that is available.

    ASCII Command Examples: Example 1. Obtain a breaker operations count by entering RB (Report Breaker). The BE1-951 responds with the operations counter value along with all other breaker report objects. If you know that the object name for the breaker operations counter is OPCNTR, you can enter RB-OPCNTR and read only the number of breaker operations.
  • Page 295: Command Text File Operations

    This list of commands is captured, saved to a file, edited with any ASCII text editor, and then uploaded to the relay. Because the number of relay settings is so large, loading settings with a text file is the preferred method of setting the BE1-951. Embedding Comments into ASCII Text Files Adding comments to ASCII settings files is an easy way to organize and label your settings.

  • Page 469 CHARACTERISTIC CURVES GENERAL Basler Electric inverse time overcurrent systems (ANSI Device 51) provide time/current characteristic curves that very closely emulate most of the common electro-mechanical, induction disk relays that were manufactured in North America. To further improve proper relay coordination, selection of integrated reset or instantaneous reset characteristics is also provided.
  • Page 470 § The programmable curve allows for four significant digits after the decimal place for every variable. TIME OVERCURRENT CHARACTERISTIC CURVE GRAPHS Figures A-1 through A-16 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.
  • Page 471 (estimate the correct intermediate value) between the electromechanical setting and the Basler Electric setting. Basler Electric relays have a maximum time dial setting of 9.9. The Basler Electric equivalent time dial setting for the electromechanical maximum setting is provided in the cross-reference table even if it exceeds 9.9.
  • Page 472 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.
