Model BE3-47N and BE3-47N/27
INTRODUCTION
BE3-47N phase balance relays protect three-phase lines,
transformers, motors, and generators against phase
unbalance, phase loss, and phase reversal. BE3-47N/27
relays have the added feature of undervoltage protection.
The output relay energizes and the red RELAY LED lights
when a balanced input with the proper phase sequence is
sensed. The output relay de-energizes and the RELAY LED
goes out when a fault condition is detected. The green
POWER LED indicates the condition of the power supply.
Two external controls are provided: UNBAL (unbalance) and
DELAY. The UNBAL control adjusts the percentage of
unbalanced voltage at which the relay trips. The DELAY
control provides an adjustable time delay to prevent tripping
on voltage transients.

OPERATION
The BE3-47N and BE3-47N/27 phase balance relays have
two external, user-adjustable controls marked UNBAL and
DELAY. The UNBAL control adjusts the relay trip point. The
relay trips when the voltage becomes unbalanced by the
percentage set by the UNBAL control. The trip point is
adjustable from 5 to 15% (
±5%) of nominal input. The
DELAY control adjusts the time from when a fault is
detected until the output contacts change state. The delay is
adjustable from 0 to 10 seconds. The undervoltage feature
of the BE3-47N/27 has no external adjustment and is fixed
at 85% of the nominal input voltage. If all three phases
remain balanced, but decrease below 85% of nominal
voltage, the relay de-energizes.
Settings Example
A BE3-47N/27 relay with a nominal input rating of 120 Vac
has the following settings:
•
UNBAL - 10%
•
DELAY - 5 s
The relay detects a phase unbalance when any one phase
decreases to 108 Vac or increases to 132 Vac. The output
relay trips five seconds after the phase unbalance is
detected. The output relay also trips if all phases decrease
to 85% of nominal, or 102 Vac.
INSTALLATION
BE3 phase balance relays are designed for mounting on
standard DIN rails that comply to DIN-EN 50022. Mounting
involves hooking the top edge of the cutout on the base of
the case over one edge of the DIN rail. The opposite side of
the cutout containing the release clip is then pushed over
the opposite side of the DIN rail. To remove or reposition the
relay, lever the release clip and move the relay as required.
BE3 relays should be installed in a dry, vibration-free
location where the ambient temperature does not exceed
the operating temperature range. Connections to the relay
should be made using wire that meets applicable codes and
is properly sized for the application. Figure 1 shows the
terminal connections for the BE3-47N/27 relay. Connections
for the BE3-47N relay are identical.
