BE1-81 General Information

SPECIFICATIONS

Power Input

One of the six types of power supplies listed in Table 1-1 may be optionally
selected to provide internal relay operating power.

Table 1-1.  Power Supply Options

Frequency Sensing Input

Input sensing circuits are nominally rated 120 Vac at the selected
frequency.  Relay trip points may be manually set for a single-phase
underfrequency trip point from 45 to 50 hertz for the 50 hertz styles, or 55
to 60 hertz for the 60 hertz styles.  Both styles are adjustable in 0.05 hertz
increments.

Sensing Burden

Burden of the frequency sensing input is 2 VA for 50 hertz styles, and 1 VA
for 60 hertz styles.

Target Indicators

Function targets may be specified as either internally operated, or current
operated by a minimum of 0.2 ampere through the output trip circuit.  When
current operated, the output circuit must be limited to 30 amperes for 0.2
seconds, 7 amperes for 2 minutes, and 3 amperes continuously.  Internally
operated targets must be specified if the breaker control (trip) circuit is ac
powered.

Reset Time

Reset is automatic and instantaneous when frequency increases above
selected pickup setting.  (Target must be manually reset.)

Pickup Setting

Pickup setting is adjusted in Hertz-below-nominal-frequency in 0.05 hertz
steps, using three front panel thumbwheel switches.

Pickup Accuracy

The relay will pickup and check timing within 0.030 hertz of the trip point in
a 60 hertz system, and within 0.035 hertz in a 50 hertz system.
