GENERAL
INFORMATION
PURPOSE
The
BE
1
-
51
A
is
a
single
-
phase
,
low
burden
,
time
overcurrent
relay
designed
to
provide
protection
for
generators
,
motors
,
transformers
,
and
lines
against
overload
and
fault
conditions
.
Standard
time
-
current
characteristics
and
a
wide
setting
range
provide
for
accurate
coordination
with
other
system
protective
functions
.
TIME
OVERCURRENT
MONITORING
Time
overcurrent
relays
are
used
to
provide
phase
and
ground
fault
protection
for
distribution
circuits
,
generators
,
transformers
,
and
other
major
components
of
the
power
system
.
The
relays
are
capable
of
a
wide
range
of
pickup
settings
and
characteristics
in
order
to
coordinate
properly
with
other
protective
devi
-
ces
in
the
power
system
.
The
BE
1
-
51
family
of
time
overcurrent
relays
provides
single
-
phase
current
sensing
.
These
relays
feature
a
pickup
setting
range
of
either
0.5
to
4.0
or
1.0
to
12.0
amperes
,
and
a
variety
of
timing
characteristics
for
proper
coor
-
dination
.
The
seven
standard
overcurrent
timing
functions
of
the
time
overcurrent
relay
provide
a
means
to
coordinate
with
other
protective
devices
,
and
to
discriminate
between
fault
currents
and
transitory
overloads
.
Table

typical

for
the
standard
