BE1-50/51B-214/-215/-223/-225 General Information
9252000994 Rev N
Internal switches provide for selecting system operating frequencies of 50 or 60 Hz, instantaneous
element delays of 0.0 or 0.1 second, characteristic curve group selection for either GE IAC or ABB type
curves, and instantaneous or integrating reset characteristics. Switch location and description is provided
in Section 2.
Advantages
BE1-50/51B-214/-215/-223/-225 overcurrent relays have many advantages over other overcurrent relays.
The primary advantages are:
•
Time characteristics are defined by equations and graphs
•
Field selectable time characteristics
•
Very low burden extends the linear range of the CTs
•
Self powered from the sensed current
•
Continuous automatic calibration
BE1-50/51B-214/-215/-223/-225 overcurrent relays may be tested without removing the relay from the
case. Shorting contacts are provided for all current inputs when the connection plugs or relay chassis is
removed from the relay case.

2%,
±
25 milliamperes at or above 0.5 ampere setting
Setting Range:
0.1 to 3.18 Aac
BE1-50/51B-225 Pickup
Setting Increment:
0.02 Aac
Accuracy:
±
2%,
±
5 milliamperes at or above 0.1 ampere setting
Dropout occurs at 95% of pickup value.
Dropout
0.0 to 9.9 seconds in 0.1 second steps.
Timing Range
The timing accuracy is the sum of
±
1 cycle,
±
2%. This accuracy applies to the range of 1.3 to 40 times tap
and is for a given measured multiple of tap. The measurement of the multiple of tap has an accuracy that
is the sum of
±
2%,
±
25 milliamperes for the BE1-50/51B-214/-215/-223 and
±
2%,
±
5 milliamperes for the
BE1-50/51B-225.
