BE1-51/27R - Tests And Adjustments
NOTE
For relays having neutral sensing (sensing input types E, F, U, W, Y, or Z) perform Step
12. For relays with option 1-2 (inst 2 elements), perform Step 13. Otherwise, the test
ends here.
NOTE
This concludes the instantaneous overcurrent sensing and output test.
Step 9.
Adjust the test set to approximately 35 times the front panel TAP selector A setting.
Step 10. Slowly adjust the test set further toward an overcurrent threshold of 40 times the front panel TAP
selector A setting until the instantaneous 1 output relay energizes. Do not disturb this setting.
RESULT: If target Type A or B is present:
(a)
The front panel FUNCTION - INST 1 target (if present) will trip.
(b)
The appropriate front panel ELEMENT target A, B, or C (if present) will trip.
Step 11. Record the current reading. Remove input current (the front panel TIMING indicator should
extinguish).
RESULT:
The recorded value should be greater than 40 times the front panel TAP selector
A setting for the maximum overcurrent pickup point for the instantaneous 1
overcurrent element.
Step 12. For the neutral sensing, connect the relay as shown in Figures 5-3 and 5-5, then repeat Steps 2
through 11, substituting the following:
(a) The front panel TAP (NEUTRAL) selector instead of the front panel TAP selector (Step 3).
(b) The front panel INST 1 (NEUTRAL) control instead of the front panel INST 1 control (Step 4).
Step 13. Reconnect the test setup to the inst 2 output terminals (11 and 12) as shown in Figure 5-1, then
repeat Steps 4 through 11, substituting the following:
(a) Front panel INST 2 control instead of the front panel INST 1 control (Step 3).
(b) Front panel FUNCTION - INST 2 target instead of the front panel INST 1 target (Step 4).
(c) Instantaneous 2 output relay instead of the instantaneous 1 output relay (Step 2).
Voltage Restraint Test
This test checks the overcurrent pickup points at 50 and 100 percent of nominal voltage levels.
Step 1.
Perform the preliminary instructions.
Step 2.
Set the front panel TAP Selector to A.
Step 3.
Verify that test voltage is 100% of nominal voltage based on the sensing input type for your relay.
Step 4.
Slowly increase the input current from 0 until the appropriate phase timing indicator just illuminates.
RESULT:
The overcurrent pickup point should be 100 ±5% of the front panel setting.
Step 5.
Apply 50% of nominal voltage based on the sensing input type for your relay.
