BE1-50/51B-Testing
5-3
NOTE
When testing TIME overcurrent functions, INST PICKUP settings of 00 will affect the
calibration of the TIME functions. TIME PICKUP settings of 00 also affect INST
functions.
Test Procedure, Models BE1-50/51B-X05, -X06, and -X07 (Five Ampere Sensing Input)
Time Pickup Test
Perform preliminary setup:
Connect test setup as shown in Figure 5-1.
Insure that SW8 switches are set correctly: SW8-1 for operating frequency, SW8-2 to OFF (no
instantaneous delay), SW8-3 to OFF (no instantaneous delay (100 series relays) or ABB type curves
selected (200 series relays) ), and SW8-4 to OFF (selects instantaneous reset).
Set TIME DIAL to 0.0.
Set CURVE to S
Set TIME PICKUP to 0.5.
Set INST PICKUP to 90.
Step 1. Slowly increase current to terminals 8 and 9. PICKUP LED should turn ON at a maximum input
current of 0.550 ampere.
Step 2. Decrease input current until PICKUP LED turns OFF.
Step 3. Set TIME PICKUP to 2.2.
Step 4. Slowly increase current to terminals 8 and 9. PICKUP LED should turn ON at an input current of
2.131 to 2.269 amperes.
Step 5. Decrease input current until PICKUP LED turns OFF.
INST Pickup Test
Perform preliminary setup:
Connect test setup as shown in Figure 5-1.
Insure that SW8 switches are set correctly: SW8-1 for operating frequency, SW8-2 to OFF (no
instantaneous delay), SW8-3 to OFF (no instantaneous delay (100 series relays) or ABB type curves
selected (200 series relays) ), and SW8-4 to OFF (selects instantaneous reset).
Set TIME DIAL to 0.0.
Set CURVE to S
Set TIME PICKUP to 15.1.
Set INST PICKUP to 01.
Step 1. Slowly increase current to terminals 8 and 9. INST contacts should close at an input current of
0.955 to 1.045 amperes.
Step 2. Decrease input current until INST output contacts open.
Step 3. Set INST PICKUP to 08.
Step 4. Slowly increase current to terminals 8 and 9. INST contacts should close at an input current of
7.815 to 8.185 amperes.
