Through BESTCOMSPlus, all BE1-11g settings and logic can be retained in a file for printing or uploading to other BE1-11g protection systems. Oscillography and sequential events records can be retrieved from a BE1-11g, viewed, and printed.
General Features HMI (Human-Machine Interface) Each BE1-11g has a front-panel display and LED indicators. Protection systems in an H or P style case have five LED indicators: Power Supply Status, Relay Trouble Alarm, Minor Alarm, Major Alarm, and Trip. Protection systems in a J style case have 12 LED indicators: Power Supply Status, Relay Trouble Alarm, Minor Alarm, Major Alarm, Trip, Select Control Switch, Operate Control Switch, and Indicator 1 through 7 (programmable in BESTlogicPlus).
Page 15
NTP synchronizes the real-time clock to network time servers through the Ethernet port. BESTCOMSPlus is used to establish the priority of time reference sources available to the BE1-11g, IRIG-B, NTP, DNP, and RTC (real-time clock). The NTP address is set using BESTCOMSPlus.
Page 16
Reporting of power quality, energy data, and general status is also provided. Alarms Extensive self-diagnostics will trigger a fatal relay trouble alarm if any of the BE1-11g core functions are compromised. Fatal relay trouble alarms are not programmable and are dedicated to the Alarm output (OUTA) and the front panel Relay Trouble LED.
Page 17
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.

CT input (IG) is in phase with the calculated I Each of the four internal polarization methods has designated internal bits that are used in the BE1-11g for direction identification, one for forward direction and one for reverse direction. Combined, these eight bits are referred to as the directional status byte and are used to control the various overcurrent elements.
Page 126
The neutral overcurrent elements can be supervised by various polarization methods using either or both zero-sequence and negative-sequence quantities. This is necessary depending on the application and fault conditions applied to the BE1-11g. For example, negative-sequence polarizing can be used when zero-sequence mutual coupling effects cause zero-sequence polarizing elements to lose directionality. In addition, high Z ground faults might cause values of zero-sequence voltage too low to measure during a fault, making zero-sequence polarization unreliable.
Note that (not forward) does not necessarily imply reverse. Sufficient current and voltage must be present to declare direction. Internally, the BE1-11g also uses several constant limits to determine if the system levels are adequate to perform reliable directional tests and set directional bits. See Table 42.
Negative- and zero-sequence voltage is highest at the fault location, and lowest at the source. This affects how the BE1-11g uses the angle of maximum torque to prevent tripping for unusual load flow.
Page 129
Equation 19. Impedance with Small V and V Source Voltages The calculations in the BE1-11g are account for the negative factor in the above equation and hence a 180° phase shift is implemented in the BE1-11g firmware so that a correct forward/reverse decision is made.

In some applications, the zone of protection may include only the generator. In other applications, a power transformer may be included in the generator zone of protection. If a fault is detected, the BE1-11g initiates a trip signal to isolate the protected zone. This action limits equipment damage and minimizes impact on the power system.

Balancing and Split-Phase Configurations (50/51) The BE1-11g can be configured for the protection of generator stator applications involving the use of self-balancing current transformers for detecting phase faults or for differently connected current transformers of split-phase generator windings to detect turn-to-turn faults. Typical configurations of these protection schemes use a 50 or 51 element, or a combination of both, for each phase or winding.
In the Phase Differential (87) window of BESTCOMSPlus, set the mode to Flux Balance. In this mode, the BE1-11g compares the setting in the Flux Balance Pickup setting (secondary A) on a per-phase basis to the current in CT circuit 1 (CT1). The link between CT1 and the Flux Balance mode is fixed in firmware;...
To clarify the difference between Three of Three and Total Power modes, assume that Two of Three mode has been selected and the pickup setting is 30 watts. Therefore, the BE1-11g picks up when two of the three phases have exceeded 30 watts. Alternately, if two phases are zero (0) watts and the third phase is 70 watts, the BE1-11g does not pickup because two of the phases have not exceeded the pickup threshold required for operation in Two of Three mode.
Page 146
In addition to exceeding the power pickup threshold, direction of power flow (forward or reverse) must match the directional setting for the 32 element to operate. In the BE1-11g, the forward and reverse directions are defined by the polarity voltage and current connections to the BE1-11g as shown in Figure 82.

Figure 150 and Table 83, call-out A. Fault Number This line reports the sequential number (from 1 to 255) assigned to the report by the BE1-11g. Event Type This line reports the type of event that occurred. There are five event categories: Trip: A fault was detected as defined by the pickup expression and the BE1-11g tripped to clear the fault.
Page 225
9424200994 Rev U Fault Clearing Time This line reports the time from when the BE1-11g detected the fault until the BE1-11g detected that the fault had cleared. Refer to Figure 150 and Table 83, call-out C. • If the fault report was triggered through the BESTCOMSPlus interface, the recording of the report was terminated after 60 seconds and this line is reported as n/a.
Maximum data capture resolution is 32 samples per cycle and is user selectable. The BE1-11g can store up to 2,048 cycles of data at 8 samples per cycle or 512 cycles of data at 32 samples per cycle. Refer to Table 81 for Oscillographic Records Settings.
For more information, refer to the BESTnetPlus chapter. Distance to Fault The BE1-11g calculates distance to fault each time a fault record is triggered. Distance to fault is calculated and displayed based on the power line parameters entered using BESTCOMSPlus or the front-panel interface.
Page 228
9424200994 Rev U To perform the actual distance calculation, the BE1-11g first must determine the faulted phase. Faults can be categorized depending on the lines faulted. The various categories are LLL, LL, LLG, or LG where L = line and G = ground.

The answer to the question is yes and no. In general, once the fault goes away the output contacts open. The BE1-11g does offer an option to ensure that the contact will stay closed for at least 200 milliseconds. See the Contact Inputs and Outputs chapter for additional information on that function. Also, a Set Priority Latch in BESTlogic™Plus can keep the relay outputs closed as long as power is applied.
Communications Is the IRIG signal modulated or demodulated? The BE1-11g accepts an IRIG-B signal that is demodulated (dc level-shifted digital signal). See the Specifications chapter for additional information. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
