VERSION Change
2.52.01/10-01-01
1.51.00/3-1-01
Added real time clock with 8 hour capacitor backup on all BE1-951 version 2
relays.
Added support for 4000 point load profile demand log and battery backup for
real time clock.
Added or revised the following protection and control functions:
 Added the 32 overpower element
 Added the 159X auxiliary Overvoltage element
 Added the 86 and 186 virtual lockout switches
 Updated the 25 Sync-Check so that when operating in FG > BF mode, a

 Updated the 67 function to be user selectable for reference and tripping
elements.
Added or revised the following reporting and alarm functions:
 The relay now performs a 2-cycle pre-dropout fault recording for use when
the 951 does not trip.
1.50.02/7-17-00 Added or revised the following protection and control functions:
 Corrected bug in 25VM, Sync Check Voltage Monitor function logic.
 Revised the 60FL, VT Fuse Loss function logic. Old algorithm required
breaker status to be true “closed” to enable the function.

 Revised 60FL function. Reduced fixed time delay from 100 mSec to 50
mSec and coordinated order of processing of this functions with voltage
tripping functions that it supervises.
 Revised the 81, Over/Under frequency function logic. Old algorithm
allowed a trip on two consecutive cycles beyond the threshold setting.

iv Introduction BE1-951
1.50.00/4-5-00 This version was released to provide major upgrades to the original
functionality provided by BE1-951 Overcurrent Protection System and was
mailed to all purchasers.
Added support (metering and recording) for optional VX, Auxilliary Voltage
input sensing. Added or revised the following functions associated with this
input:
 Added 25/25VM, Sync Check with Voltage Monitor function.
 Added 27X, Auxiliary Undervoltage element.
 Revised 59X, Auxiliary Over voltage function to allow it to monitor the
frequency measured on the VX, Auxiliary Voltage input.
Added or revised the following additional protection and control functions:
 Added 24, Volts/Hertz Overexcitation element.
 Added 67, Directional Control for all Over current tipping elements.
Added or revised the following additional reporting and alarm functions:
 Added Distance to Fault function.
 Added optional load profile recording function.
 Revised the COMTRADE oscillographic recording function to allow the 240
cycles of oscillographic memory to be partitioned into 6 to 16 records.
Added *.HDR, COMTRADE header file to record the fault summary and
active settings associated with the fault.
 Revised power fail recovery logic and self diagnostics function to prevent
inadvertent resets of the microprocessor when operated on marginal AC
power supply source.
Added or revised the following communications functions:
 Corrected bugs in Modbus protocol.
1.02.02/4-7-00 This version was released after release of version 1.50.00, which was a major
upgrade in functionality for the relay. This version was released to correct bugs
in the original functionality and was mailed to all purchasers of the BE1-951
Over current Protection System.
 Revised power fail recovery logic and self diagnostics function to prevent
inadvertent resets of the microprocessor when operated on marginal AC
power supply source.
 Corrected bugs in Modbus protocol.
 Revised the COMTRADE oscillographic download function to prevent an
invalid COMTRADE file from being created if the oldest record is being
overwritten by a trigger in the middle of the process of transferring the file.

BE1-951 Introduction v
1.02.01/1-31-00
1.02.00/11-10-99
1.01.00/8-26-99
Revised the following reporting and alarm functions:
 Revised power fail recovery logic and self diagnostics function to reduce
the possibility of inadvertent resets of the microprocessor when operated
on marginal AC power supply source.
Added or revised the following protection and control functions:
 Revised the ASCII command interface to use SG-CTG as the command to
set the CT ratio for the Optional Independent Ground input. Originally, the
command was SG-CTN. The change was made to make it consistent with
the conventions used. IN, the neutral current, is the residual of the three-
phase current input. IG, the ground current, is the current measured at the
independent ground current input.
Note
The above change makes all previous versions of firmware incompatible with
BESTCOMS, Graphical User Interface Software.
 Revised the 60FL, VT fuse Loss logic function to allow automatic blocking
logic to be individually set for current and voltage functions.
 Corrected bug in 51/27R voltage control phase time Over current function
that blocked Over current tripping for a 60FL condition when voltage
control was set to Mode C but disabled by setting (S#-27R=0,C)
Added or revised the following reporting and alarm functions:
 Revised oscillographic recording function to increase memory allocation to
240 cycles of sample data.
 Revised the target reporting function to allow various functions to adapt the
targets that they post based upon user setup parameters.
 Revised the TCM, Trip Circuit Monitor function to allow its application with
AC tripping voltages.
 Revised Watt/VAR metering and demand functions for full four quadrant
metering.
 Revised the V2, negative sequence volgate measurement function to
properly scale to V phase to neutral base regardless of the three phase VT
connection parameter setting.
1.00.01/5-12-99 Initial Release
Hardware Version Change
10-5-01
05-30-99
Added battery backup to H1 case only. Change overlay to incorporate new
adhesive label.

and ECO/ECA Change
E/15059
D/12499
C/10201
B/9101
A/7036
Updated Sections 1,3,4,12, and 13 to reflect required information about battery
backup, real time clock, and control input jumper configurations.
Updated Section 4 to reflect the changes in the protection and control
elements. Updated the remaining sections of the manual in accordance to the
relays new functions.
Updated the drawings and text of the manual to reflect the UL and CSA
approval. Added a new testing section. Completed a general read through of
the manual, updating text in order to clarify given information and complete an
overall consistency in the manuals appearance.
Manual was revised to reflect to reflect Phase II information. This included
adding new functions such as the 24, 25, and 67 elements. Auxiliary elements
for 27 and 59 elements were added. Distance to fault was added. Added
information on Variable length Oscillographic recording. Increased the style
number to 7 digits. Revised manual to single volume binder from 3 volume
bound set.
This manual revision includes the following changes.
1. Volume1, Section 4, Protection and control, VT fuse Loss
Detection was updated to cover enhancements made to the 60FL
function.
2. A combined index for both volumes was placed at the end of
each volume.
3. Minor revisions and corrections were made throughout the
manual.
