SPECIFICATIONS
BE1-50/51M-222 Overcurrent Relays have the following features and capabilities.
Current Sensing Input Continuous current: 14 amperes. One second current: 400 amperes.
TIME PICKUP Range 0.5 to 15.9 amperes in 0.1 ampere steps. Setting the TIME PICKUP to the
minimum pickup (0.5 ampere), places the relay in the most sensitive state
and may be used as a safety setting.
TIME Dropout Dropout occurs at 95% of pickup value.

BE1-50/51M-222 General Information
1-4
TIME PICKUP
Accuracy ±2% ±25 milliamperes at or above 0.5 ampere settings.
Frequency Response A change of ±5 hertz from the nominal 50/60 hertz current causes less
than 0.5% change in the current required for pickup.
TIME DIAL Range 0.0 to 9.9, in 0.1 steps.
INST PICKUP Range 1 to 99 amperes in 1 ampere steps. Setting the INST PICKUP to the
minimum pickup (1.0), places the relay in the most sensitivestate and may
be used as a safety setting.
INST Dropout Dropout occurs at 95% of pickup value.
INST PICKUP
Accuracy ±2% ±25 milliamperes at or above 1.0 ampere settings.
Frequency Response A change of ±5 hertz from the nominal 50/60 hertz current causes less
than 0.5% change in the current required for pickup.
INST Transient Response Less than 10% overreach with system time constants up to 40
milliseconds.
Burden Burden is non-linear. At 0.5 amperes, Z = 4.8 ohms. At 5.0 amperes,
Z = 0.2 ohms. (Figure 1-3 illustrates the device burden.)

Harmonic Response BE1-50/51M-222 harmonic rejection is illustrated in Figure 1-4.
Figure 1-4 shows that a relay set for one ampere pickup would pickup at
0.96 ampere on a current containing 40% seventh harmonic. This
corresponds to a ten-to-one rejection ratio. Other conditions may be
evaluated in the same manner.
Figure 1-4. Harmonic Response
INST Characteristics BE1-50/51M-222 instantaneous characteristic curves are similar to
standard electromechanical instantaneous units. However, the time to trip
for ground applications is slightly longer than that for phase applications to
allow time to power-up the relay. Longer trip time for ground applications
is beneficial because it helps to avoid nuisance trips.
For phase applications, the maximum time to trip is 3.5 cycles at a pickup
multiple of 1.0, and 1.5 cycles at a pickup multiple of 3.0. The
corresponding times for ground applications are 4.5 and 1.75 cycles.
Figure 1-5 shows the instantaneous characteristic curves for maximum
time to trip.
Additional delays of 0.1, 0.2, or 0.3 seconds may be added with internal
switches SW8-2 and -3. These delays apply to both phase and ground
applications. Closing switch SW8-2 provides an additional delay of 0.1
second. Closingswitch SW8-3provides an additionaldelay of0.2 second.
Closing both switches SW8-2 and -3 provides an additional delay of 0.3
second. Section 2 illustrates the location of SW8.
Time Characteristics Nine inverse time functions and one fixed time function can be selected by
a front panel switch.

Figure 1-5. Instantaneous Characteristic Curves
Time Reset Reset occurs when the current drops below pickup and the relay has not
timed out. Switch SW8-4 provides selection of either an instantaneous or
integrating reset characteristic. Opening SW8-4 forces the instantaneous
reset timer to zero when timed dropout occurs. This fast reset
characteristic prevents the ratcheting effect that may occur with repeating
system faults. Closing SW8-4 selects the integrating reset characteristic.
The integrating reset characteristic simulates the disk reset of
electromechanical relays. BE1-50/51M-222 relays provide the integrating
reset function even when input current falls to zero. Integrating reset
characteristics are shown in Figure 1-6.
Target Indicators Magnetically latched, manually reset targets indicate that current of 0.2
amperes or greater was present in the trip circuit. Target coil resistance is
less than 0.1 ohm and operate time is less than one millisecond. See
50/51 Output specifications for maximum current rating.
