BE1-51/27R - General Information
Residually Connected
A neutral (ground) overcurrent element can be applied and connected residually to a set of three current
transformers on solidly grounded applications or on impedance grounded systems that provide ground fault
current approximating rated current level. The neutral element can also be connected to a 10/1 ampere,
zero-sequence window current transformer to provide protection on systems producing a minimum of about
20 amperes primary current. Still another alternative would be connecting this device to a current
transformer in the neutral of a generator.
Operating Characteristics At Reduced Voltages
BE1-51/27R relays adjust the operating parameters based on system voltage. The sensitivity of the relay
is increased as the system voltage drops. This provides a means of discriminating between load and fault
conditions.
A decrease of the sensed voltage to a point between 100 percent and 25 percent of nominal results in a
proportional decrease in the time overcurrent pickup point. Thus, at 50 percent nominal voltage, the time
overcurrent relay will pickup at 50 percent of the setting (TAP + Calibration). At voltages above 100 percent
nominal, the pickup will be the same as the setting. At voltages below 25 percent of nominal, the pickup will
be 25 percent of the setting. Note that the BE1-51/27R is designed to trip at currents less than the setting
if the voltage is depressed.
The timing characteristics of the BE1-51/27R continue to operate on a multiples of pickup basis. Pickup
refers not to the setting, but to the operating point as adjusted for voltage. Thus, with a setting of 5.0
amperes, and system voltage of 50 percent, a current of 5.0 amperes represents 2 times pickup. For a given
fault current magnitude, the relay will trip faster at reduced voltage, because the multiples of pickup
increases.
Table 1-1 shows the timing characteristics at normal and reduced voltages. The curve is B4 and the time
dial is five. The pickup is five amperes. Table 1-2 shows the timing characteristics for multiples of setting
as it relates to multiples of pickup with the BE1-51/27R at 25 percent voltage.
