SECTION 5
• INSTALLATION AND
CONFIGURATION
General
BE1-79A Reclosing Relays are delivered in sturdy cartons to prevent shipping damage. Upon receipt of a
relay, check the model number against the requisition and packing list for agreement. Inspect for damage
and, if there is evidence of such, file a claim with the carrier and notify the Basler Electric regional sales
office, your sales representative, or the Technical Sales Support department of Basler Electric.
If the relay is not installed immediately, store it in the original shipping carton in a moisture- and dust-free
environment.
Storage
This device contains long-life aluminum electrolytic capacitors. For devices that are not in service (spares
in storage), the life of these capacitors can be maximized by energizing the device for 30 minutes once
per year.
Mounting
Because the BE1-79A is of solid-state design, it does not have to be mounted vertically. Any convenient
mounting angle may be chosen. The BE1-79A is available in an FT-32 cradle that is intended for
installation in an existing FT-32 case.
Connections
Incorrect wiring may result in damage to the relay. Be sure to use the correct input power for the power
supply and the correct input voltage for the contact inputs. Connections should be made with a minimum
wire size of 14 AWG. Figure 5-1 provides a typical connection diagram for an AC application. Figure 5-2
provides a typical connection diagram for a DC application.
Application
The intended function of the BE1-79A Reclosing Relay is to duplicate an ABB recloser with only minor
variations. To ensure that your BE1-79A relay functions properly, you should consider the adjustments
and settings described in the following paragraphs.
