BE1-79S Functional Description

BREAKER OPEN SENSING (52b)
When the 52b circuit breaker auxiliary contact closes a BREAKER OPEN signal is generated by the breaker
open sensing circuit to the automatic reclose enable logic.
When the controlled breaker closes, the BREAKER OPEN signal is terminated. This occurs regardless of
the state of the other inputs to the relay. Termination of the BREAKER OPEN signal stops the reclose timer,
initiates the reset timer, and terminates the reclose output.
CANCEL CONTACT SENSING (RC)
When an external form A contact (RC) is closed, the cancel contact sensing circuit generates a RECLOSE
CANCEL signal which inhibits or terminates the automatic reclose enable logic.
AUTOMATIC RECLOSE ENABLE LOGIC
The automatic reclose enable logic allows operation of the reclose timer when a RECLOSE CANCEL or
INHIBIT signal is not present, and the INITIATE signal has been present prior to recognition of the
BREAKER OPEN signal.
RECLOSE TIMER
The reclose timer is started by the automatic reclose enable logic and measures an interval determined by
the front panel RECLOSE TIME control. At the completion of the programmed interval, if RECLOSE
CANCEL is not generated and BREAKER OPEN is still present, the reclose timer generates RECLOSE to
close the contacts of the reclose relay, energizing the breaker close coil and the internal lockout relay.
RECLOSE is terminated when the breaker closes, or when RECLOSE CANCEL is generated, or when the
maximum reclose signal time has expired (Option 3-2 or 3-3).
RECLOSE FAIL TIMER (Option 3-2 or 3-3)
A RECLOSE FAIL signal is generated by the reclose fail timer if the reclose command from the relay does
not cause the controlled breaker to close within the specified time. The RECLOSE FAIL signal, when
present, is internally applied to the cancel contact sensing circuit and has an effect similar to receiving RC
from the protective system. RECLOSE CANCEL generated in response to RECLOSE FAIL inhibits the
automatic reclose enable logic, causing it to disregard the BREAKER OPEN signal from the breaker open
sensing circuit.
For relays specified to have Option 3-0, the reclose fail timer is not present and the relay will output a
continuous RECLOSE signal until the controlled breaker is closed or until the RECLOSE CANCEL signal
is received from the RC contact.
RESET TIMER
The reset timer provides an automatic reset for the relay when the controlled breaker remains closed for the
duration of the reset interval. The reset timer measures an interval between 5 and 60 seconds as determined
by the RESET TIME control on the front panel.
When BREAKER OPEN is terminated, indicating that the controlled breaker is closed, the reset timer begins
to measure the programmed interval. At the completion of this interval, the timer generates RESET and
lights the RESET indicator. The RESET signal resets the reclose fail timer, resets the automatic reclose
enable logic so that it is able to respond to a subsequent protective trip of the breaker, deenergizes the
internal lockout relay and extinguishes the LOCKOUT indicator. Reset, with RESET indicator lit, is the
normal state for the relay as it waits for a protective breaker trip.
