General Status Reporting
The BE1-11g provides extensive general status reporting for monitoring, commissioning, and
troubleshooting. Status reports are available from the front-panel display or communication ports.
Fault Reporting
Fault reports consist of simple target information, fault summary reports, and detailed oscillography
records to enable the user to retrieve information about disturbances in as much detail as is desired. The
BE1-11g records and reports oscillography data in industry-standard IEEE, COMTRADE format to allow
using any fault analysis software. Basler Electric provides a Windows
®
based program called
BESTwave
™ that can read and plot binary or ASCII format files that are in the COMTRADE format. A
copy of BESTwave is included on the BE1-11 product CD.
Sequence of Events Recorder
A Sequence of Events Recorder (SER) records and time stamps all BE1-11g inputs and outputs as well
as all alarm conditions monitored by the BE1-11g. Time stamp resolution is to the nearest half-cycle. I/O
and Alarm reports can be extracted from the records as well as reports of events recorded during the time
span associated with a specific fault report.
Protection and Control
Protection functions consist of Overexcitation, Sync-Check, Undervoltage, Overvoltage, Vector Jump,
Frequency, Instantaneous Overcurrent, Breaker Failure, Inverse Overcurrent, Phase Current Differential
(optional), Neutral Current Differential (optional), Power, Loss of Excitation, Distance, Out of Step,
Thermal, and Analog protection. Virtual Control Switches, Timers, a Lockout Function, a Breaker Control
Switch, and an Auto Synchronizer (optional) make up the control functions. The following paragraphs
describe each protection and control function.
Overexcitation (24) Protection
One volts per hertz protection element provides overexcitation protection for a generator and/or
transformer.
Sync-Check (25) Protection
With the auxiliary voltage input connected to the bus, one sync-check function provides synchronism
protection. Sync-check protection checks for phase angle difference, magnitude difference, frequency
difference (slip) and, optionally, if the three-phase VT frequency is greater than the auxiliary VT
frequency. One voltage monitor output (25VM) provides independent dead/live voltage closing logic.
Undervoltage (27P) and Overvoltage (59P) Protection
Five phase undervoltage and four phase overvoltage elements are included. Phase
undervoltage/overvoltage protection can be set for one of three, two of three, or three of three logic.
When a four-wire voltage transformer connection is used, under/overvoltage protection can be set for
either phase-to-phase voltage or phase-to-neutral voltage. The 27P elements are equipped with an
undervoltage inhibit feature. Inverse or definite time can be selected. Refer to the
Time Curve
Characteristics chapter.
Auxiliary Undervoltage (27X) and Auxiliary Overvoltage (59X) Protection
Four auxiliary overvoltage and four auxiliary undervoltage elements provide over/undervoltage protection.
Auxiliary voltage protection elements can be set to individually monitor the third harmonic, neutral-shift,
positive-sequence, negative-sequence, or auxiliary fundamental voltages. Ground unbalance protection is
provided when the auxiliary voltage input is connected to a source of 3V0 such as a broken-delta VT. The
27X is equipped with an undervoltage inhibit feature. Inverse or definite time can be selected. Refer to the
Time Curve Characteristics chapter.
