BE1-50/51M General Information
9252000990 Rev N
SPECIFICATIONS
BE1-50/51M overcurrent relays have the following features and capabilities.
Current Sensing Input
1 Ampere Unit
Continuous Current:
2.8 Aac
One Second Rating:
80 Aac
5 Ampere Unit
Continuous Current:
14 Aac
One Second Rating:
400 Aac
Time Overcurrent (51) Element
Setting the TIME PICKUP control at the minimum pickup setting (0.1 on the 1 ampere unit and 0.5 on the
5 ampere unit), places the relay in the most sensitive state and may be used as a safety setting.
1 Ampere Unit Pickup
Setting Range:
0.1 to 3.18 Aac
Setting Increment:
0.02 Aac
Accuracy:
±2%,
±5
milliamperes at or above 0.1 ampere setting
5 Ampere Unit Pickup
Setting Range:
0.5 to 15.9 Aac
Setting Increment:
0.1 Aac
Accuracy:
±2%, ±25 milliamperes at or above 0.5 ampere setting
Dropout
Dropout occurs at 95% of pickup value.
Timing Range
0.0 to 9.9 seconds in 0.1 second steps
Timing Accuracy
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 5 ampere units, and
±
2%,
±
5 milliamperes for 1 ampere units.
Timing Accuracy Example (5 Ampere Unit)

6.655 amperes
– Multiple Tolerance:
6.345 amperes

Time
Dial:
5.0
Minimum time dial
using 6.655 amperes:
46.5470 seconds
Maximum time dial
using 6.345 amperes:
61.3968 seconds
Curve time using 6.5 amperes: 53.1800 seconds
Curve Characteristics
Nine inverse time functions and one fixed time function can be selected by the front-panel Curve switch.
Characteristic curves for the inverse and definite time functions are defined by the following equation.
Where: T
T
=
