Introduction
BE1-32R, Directional Overpower and BE1-32O/U, Directional Over/Underpower Relays sense real power
(IE times the cosine of θ). These solid-state relays are designed for use in single- or three-phase systems
to protect equipment against overpower and/or underpower conditions. They may also be used in the
supervisory control of circuits.
Model and Style Number Description

BE1-32R and -32 O/U Directional Power Relays electrical characteristics and operational features are
defined by a combination of letters and numbers that make up the style number. Model numbers
BE1-32R or BE1-32O/U designate the relay as a Basler Electric, Class 100, Directional Power Relay. The
model number and style number describe the options included in a specific device, and appear on the
front panel, draw-out cradle, and inside the case assembly. Upon receipt of a relay, be sure to check the
style number against the requisition and the packing list to ensure that they agree.
The Style Number Identification Chart (Figure 1) illustrates the manner in which the relay style number is
determined. For example, if the style number were A1G-A1P-A0N1F, the device would have the following
characteristics:
A Single-phase current sensing and line-to-neutral voltage sensing
1 120 Vac, 0.5 to 20 W sensing input range
G One output relay with normally closed (N.C.) contacts
A1 Instantaneous timing characteristics with one setpoint
P 125 Vdc/120 Vac power supply
A One internally operated target
0 No option 1
N No power supply status output
1 One normally-open, auxiliary output relay
F Semi-flush mounting case

Functional Description
BE1-32R and BE1-32O/U relay functions are illustrated in Figure 3 and described in the following
paragraphs.
Figure 3. Function Block Diagram
Current Sensing
System current transformers (CTs), with 5 Aac (nominal) secondary windings, supply the relay current
sensing transformers with current. For current sensing input ratings, refer to the Introduction chapter.
Sensing Input Range 1, 4, and 7 Current Rating

In some applications, the 7 ampere current rating for sensing input ranges 1, 4, and 7 may be exceeded if
due care is not exercised. The most common CT has a thermal rating factor of 1.33, yielding a maximum
continuous current of 6.67 amperes, which is below the rating of the relay. However, many CTs have
thermal rating factors of 1.5 or 2. In many applications, current that exceeds the rating of the relay might
be applied. The designer/engineer needs to recognize this relay limitation when setting up the steady-
state current that the relay is exposed to.
Sensing Input Range 1, 4, and 7 Burden

The burden for sensing input ranges 1, 4, and 7 can be high and have a substantial impact on the total
CT burden calculations and CT performance during fault conditions. The high burden can be easily
accounted for in normal operation and CT selection. However, the larger concern is what occurs during
fault conditions and how other relays on the CT string will be affected by the BE1-32 burden.
BE1-32R and BE1-32O/U Functional Description

Phase Rotation Sensitivity

Relays that use phase current and phase-to-phase voltages to determine direction are sensitive to phase
rotation. BE1-32 Directional Power Relays with sensing type B, E, or V are phase rotation sensitive.
Unless otherwise noted, all connections shown in this manual assume ABC rotation.
Type E Sensing
Relays with type E sensing (two elements) monitor two phase-to-phase voltages (the third phase is used
as a reference) and two phases of current to determine directional power flow. This is sometimes referred
to as the two-wattmeter method for power flow measurement. Figure 4 shows the phasor representation
for ABC rotation. Figure 5 shows the phasor representation for ACB rotation.
Figure 4. Type E Sensing with ABC Rotation
Figure 5. Type E Sensing with ACB Rotation
Type B and V Sensing

Relays with type B sensing (60 hertz) and type V sensing (50 hertz) monitor one phase-to-phase voltage
and one phase of current to determine directional power flow. An internal 30-degree phase delay network
(frequency dependent) aligns the voltage signal with the current signal. Figure 6 shows the phasor
representation for monitoring A-phase to B-phase voltage and A-phase current with ABC rotation. Figure
7 shows the phasor representation for monitoring A-phase to C-phase voltage with ACB rotation.

Sensing Input Types

The following paragraphs describe the current and voltage sensing types available in BE1-32R and
BE1-32O/U relays.
Type A Sensing: Single-Phase Current and Single-Phase Voltage

In three-phase, four-wire circuits, relays with type A sensing calculate the power flowing in the tripping
direction by monitoring line-to-neutral voltage and a single phase of current. Relays with type A sensing
can also be applied in a three-phase, three-wire system using phase-to-ground voltages. Type A sensing
configurations are not phase rotation sensitive. The range switch for this sensing type is calibrated in
single-phase watts. Figure 8 illustrates the type A sensing configuration.

8 9171100990 Rev U
Figure 8. Type A Sensing
Type B and V Sensing: Single-Phase Current and Single-Phase Voltage

In three-phase, three-wire circuits, relays with type B or type V sensing calculate the power flowing in the
tripping direction by monitoring the line-to-line voltage and a single phase of current. The power equation
assumes balanced conditions. Because the input voltage leads the input current by 30 degrees
(assuming unity power factor), a 30 degree lagging phase shift network is designed into the voltage input
circuit. Type B or V sensing configurations are sensitive to phase rotation. The range switch of this
sensing type is calibrated in single-phase watts. Figure 9 illustrates the type B/V sensing configuration.
Type C Sensing: Single-Phase Current and Three-Phase Voltage

In three-phase, three-wire circuits, relays with type C sensing calculate the power flowing in the tripping
direction by monitoring three line-to-line voltages and a single phase of current. The relay measures
actual power even if the system voltages are not balanced. Therefore, the power equation using EAVE is
approximate. Type C sensing configurations are not sensitive to phase rotation. The range switch of this
sensing type is calibrated in three-phase watts. Figure 10 illustrates the type C sensing configuration.
Figure 9. Type B/Type V Sensing

9171100990 Rev U 9
Figure 10. Type C Sensing
Type D Sensing: Three-Phase Current and Three-Phase Voltage

In three-phase, four-wire circuits, relays with type D sensing calculate the power flowing in the tripping
direction by monitoring three line-to-neutral voltages and three phases of current. This sensing type can
also be applied on a three-phase, three-wire system using phase-to-ground voltages. Type D sensing
configurations are not phase rotation sensitive. The range switch of this sensing type is calibrated in
three-phase watts. Figure 11 illustrates the type D sensing configuration.

10 9171100990 Rev U
Figure 11. Type D Sensing
Type E Sensing: Two-Phase Current and Three-Phase Voltage

In three-phase, three-wire circuits, relays with type E sensing calculate the power flowing in the tripping
direction by monitoring the three line-to-line voltages and two phases of currents. The relay measures
actual power under balanced or unbalanced conditions. The power equation assumes that conditions are
balanced. Type E sensing configurations are sensitive to phase rotation. The range switch for this sensing
type is calibrated in three-phase watts. Figure 12 illustrates the type E sensing configuration.

9171100990 Rev U 11
Figure 12. Type E Sensing
kW Transducer
Single-phase or three-phase current and voltage signals (determined by the sensing input circuitry type)
are applied to the kW transducer. The signals are applied to a multiplexor that selectively combines the
input conditions and feeds them to a multiplier circuit. The output of the multiplier is true power (watts)
that is then integrated to produce a dc voltage proportional to the monitored power flow. The conditioned,
proportional signal is then applied to the comparator circuits.

12 9171100990 Rev U
Comparator Circuits
A dc signal that represents the monitored power level is applied to the comparator circuits for comparison
with the front panel underpower and overpower settings. When the reference level of the comparators is
surpassed, the appropriate output is energized (if instantaneous timing is selected) or timing is initiated.
Pickup
The overpower pickup point is selected by the front panel Overpower Tap Selector and Range Select
Switch. The overpower pickup range for each sensing input type in listed in the Specifications chapter.
The underpower pickup point is selected by the Underpower Pickup Selector and has an adjustment
range of 10 to 95% of the overpower pickup setting.
Pickup accuracy is ±2% of the front panel setting at unity power factor and ±5% at a power factor above
0.5. The specified accuracy is for current below 10 times the current required to pick up at nominal volts
and unity power factor. The maximum current to maintain specified accuracy can be expressed by

This product is not recommended for power factors below 0.10. Contact Basler Electric for recommended
products.
Timing
BE1-32R and BE1-32O/U timing is defined by the style number and can be instantaneous, definite time-
delayed, or inverse time-delayed.
A relay with instantaneous timing responds to a trip condition with no intentional time delay. For a real-
power magnitude of two times the pickup setting, overall response time is less than 80 milliseconds at 60
hertz and less than 100 milliseconds at 50 hertz. The response time decreases as the magnitude of the
input signal increases. Typical response curves are illustrated in the Specifications chapter.
A relay with definite timing begins timing toward a trip when the power level exceeds the relay overpower
setpoint or decreases below the underpower setpoint. Overpower and underpower definite time delays
are adjusted by the corresponding Time Delay Control thumbwheel switches and the Time Delay
Multiplier switch. The definite time delay can be adjusted from 0.1 to 9.9 seconds with the Time Delay
Multiplier switch in the times 0.1 position and from 1 to 99 seconds with the Time Delay Multiplier switch
in the times 1.0 position. A Time Delay Control setting of 00 enables instantaneous timing.
Inverse timing is available only for the overpower function. A relay with inverse timing begins timing
toward a trip when the power level exceeds the relay overpower setpoint. The desired inverse time curve
is selected by the Overpower Time Delay Control thumbwheel switches. The available inverse time
characteristic curves are illustrated in the Specifications chapter.
Outputs
BE1-32R and BE1-32O/U relay outputs are divided into three categories: Overpower and Underpower,
Auxiliary, and Power Supply Status.
Overpower and Underpower Outputs

A dedicated output relay is provided for each overpower and underpower protection function. The BE1-
32R is equipped with a set of overpower output contacts that are configured as normally-open (NO) or
normally-closed (NC). The BE1-32O/U is equipped with a set of overpower output contacts and a set of

9171100990 Rev U 13
underpower output contacts. The BE1-32O/U outputs may be any combination of NO or NC contact
configurations. Output contact configuration is determined by the output digit of the relay style number.
Auxiliary Outputs
Auxiliary output contacts are supplied when specified by the Option 3 digit of the relay style number.
Auxiliary outputs are provided for both overpower and underpower protection functions. The auxiliary
output contacts may be NO, NC, or single-pole, double-throw (SPDT).
Power Supply Status Output

The power supply status relay has a set of NC contacts and energizes when operating power is applied to
the BE1-32R or BE1-32O/U. If either side of the power supply output (+12 Vdc or –12 Vdc) fails, the
power supply status relay de-energizes and closes the power supply status output contacts. Shorting bars
within the relay case short-circuit the power supply status output when the upper connection plug is
withdrawn from the case.
Output Test Pushbuttons

The output test pushbuttons allow testing of the overpower and underpower outputs and optional auxiliary
outputs. To prevent accidental operation, the pushbuttons are recessed behind openings in the front
panel. An output is tested by inserting a nonconductive rod through the access holes.
Power Supply
Operating power for the relay circuitry is supplied by a wide-range, electrically isolated, low-burden power
supply. The power supply operating power input is not polarity sensitive. The front panel Power Indicator
and power supply status output indicate when the power supply is operating. Power supply specifications
are listed in the Specifications chapter.
Target Indicators
Target indicators are optional components selected when a relay is ordered. The electronically latched
and reset targets consist of red LED indicators located on the relay front panel. A latched target is reset
by operating the target reset switch on the front panel. If relay operating power is lost, any illuminated
(latched) targets are extinguished. When relay operating power is restored, the previously latched targets
are restored to their latched state.
A relay can be equipped with either internally operated targets or current operated targets.
Internally Operated Targets

The relay trip outputs are directly applied to drive the appropriate target indicator. Each indicator is
illuminated regardless of the current level in the trip circuit.
Current Operated Targets

A current operated target is triggered by closure of the corresponding output contact and the presence of
at least 200 milliamperes of current flowing in the trip circuit.
Note
Prior to September 2007, BE1-32 and BE1-32O/U target indicators
consisted of magnetically-latched, disc indicators. These mechanically
latched target indicators have been replaced by the electronically
latched LED targets in use today.

9171100990 Rev U 15
Installation
BE1-32R and BE1-32O/U relays are shipped in sturdy cartons to prevent damage during transit. Upon
receipt of a relay, check the model and style number against the requisition and packing list to see that
they agree. Inspect the relay for shipping damage. If there is evidence of damage, file a claim with the
carrier and notify your sales representative or Basler Electric.
If the relay will not be installed immediately, store it in its original shipping carton in a moisture- and dust-
free environment. Before placing the relay in service, it is recommended that the test procedures in the
Testing chapter be performed.
Relay Operating Guidelines and Precautions

Before installing or operating the relay, note the following guidelines and precautions.
• For proper current-operated target operation, a minimum current of 200 milliamperes must flow
through the output trip circuit.
• If a wiring insulation test is required, remove the connection plugs and withdraw the relay from its
case.
Caution
When the connection plugs are removed, the relay is disconnected
from the operating circuit and will not provide system protection.
Always be sure that external operating (monitored) conditions are
stable before removing a relay for inspection, test, or service.
Note
Be sure that the relay is hard-wired to earth ground with no smaller
than 12 AWG copper wire attached to the ground terminal on the rear
of the unit case. When the relay is configured in a system with other
devices, it is recommended to use a separate lead to the ground bus
from each device.
Mounting
Because the relay is of solid-state design, it does not have to be mounted vertically. Any convenient
mounting angle may be chosen. Relay outline dimensions and panel drilling diagrams are illustrated in
Figures 13 through 31.

Maintenance
BE1-32R and BE1-32O/U relays require no preventative maintenance other than testing performed
according to scheduled practices.
Repair
Repair of the draw-out assembly by replacement of individual circuit boards is not recommended. The
printed circuit boards are not intended to be field serviceable.
If a relay failure occurs in a critical application without sufficient redundancy, protection can be restored by
inserting a spare relay in the mounted and wired case of the relay requiring service. The draw-out
assembly requiring service can then be returned for service in the case from the spare relay. If a spare
case is not available, care should be used when packing the draw-out assembly for shipment. Use anti-
static packing material that prevents mechanical damage during transit.
Before returning a relay for repair, contact the Basler Electric Technical Services Department for a return
authorization number.

46 9171100990 Rev U
Maintenance Accessories
Test Plug
Test plugs (Basler P/N 10095) enable relay testing without removing the relay from the case. Test plugs
are simply substituted for the connection plugs. This provides access to the external stud connections as
well as the internal circuitry.
Test plugs consist of black and red phenolic moldings with 20 electrically separated contact fingers
connected to 10 coaxial binding posts. Fingers on the black side are connected to the inner binding posts
(black thumbnuts) and tap into the relay internal circuitry. Fingers on the red side of the test plug are
connected to the outer binding posts (red thumbnuts) and connect to the relay case terminals.
When testing circuits connected to the bottom set of case terminals, the test plug is inserted with the
numbers 1 through 10 facing up. Similarly, when using the test plug in the upper part of the relay, the test
plug is inserted with the numbers 11 through 20 facing up. Due to the construction of the test plug, it is
impossible to insert it with the wrong orientation.
Storage
This device contains long-life 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.

9171100990 Rev U 47
Application
Directional Power Relays are typically used in applications where excessive power flow in the tripping
direction is undesirable. Over and/or underpower protection is desirable where:
• Power flows into a generator, indicating loss of prime mover torque (motoring).
• Power flows into the secondary of a station distribution transformer, indicating an industrial or
private customer is supplying power into the utility system.
• Excessive load has been connected to a system.
• Overload has been placed on a distribution system.
• Overspeeding is a prime concern.
• An open breaker creates an overload on a local generation facility.
• Loss of excitation can be determined by var sensing.
Note
This product is not recommended for power factors below 0.10.
Contact Basler Electric for recommended products.
Example 1: Anti-Motoring
When a synchronous generator, operating in parallel with a power system, loses prime mover torque, it
remains in synchronism with the system and continues to run as a synchronous motor. Motoring draws
power from the system to drive the prime mover and can cause severe damage to the prime mover.
Steam turbines require a constant flow of steam to remove the heat caused by turbulence or cavitations
on or about the blades. Without this flow of steam, heat builds up and may cause softening or distortion of
the turbine blades. Diesel engines and gas turbines are less susceptible to immediate damage, but
unburned fuel may present a fire or explosion hazard.
BE1-32 Directional Power Relays can detect power flow into the generator and disconnect the generator
before the prime mover sustains inevitable damage. Unlike the conditions arising from faults, the electrical
conditions involved in anti-motoring protection are balanced. Therefore, single-phase relay protection is
adequate. Figure 46 shows connections for single-phase relay (type B or V sensing). This connection
measures real power if the system voltages are balanced.
The BE1-32R, Reverse Power Relay must be sensitive enough to detect power levels lower than those
required to motor the generator. Sensitivity is much more important on steam and hydro turbines than on
reciprocating engines and gas turbines.
Table 2 represents the reverse power requirements to motor a generator when the prime mover is
rotating at synchronous speed with no input power supplied by the prime mover.
The Reverse Power Relay is generally set for levels as low as possible with steam turbines typically being
set not higher than three percent and diesels and gas turbines slightly below ten percent.
Time delays are usually employed to avoid nuisance tripping caused by reverse power transient surges
that may result from synchronizing or other system disturbances. These time delays are typically set from
2 to 10 seconds, but may be set as high as 30 seconds or more.
An operating condition with very low power levels at a low power factor may not be detected by this
product. For very low power levels at power factors of 0.10 or lower, contact Basler Electric for
recommended products.

Example 2: Co-Generator Control

In this example, cogeneration concepts are addressed. To illustrate, assume that the cogeneration
system has automatic engine controls, an auto-synchronizer, automatic kW, and kvar controls. The
system operates virtually by itself. The only function lacking is the start/stop signals to the generators.
Two system configurations may be implemented to generate contact closures for start/stop signals.
The first configuration (Figure 47) shows a directional power relay connected to the utility to sense kW.
The pickup point of the relay is set at the maximum desired utility power level. When the utility power level
exceeds the relay pickup point, the output relay contact closes and the generator is automatically started
and paralleled with the utility. A time delay is generally included in the start circuit of about 15 or more
seconds to ignore transient overload conditions.
When the generator is paralleled and loaded, the kW signal of the utility decreases by the amount of load
the generator has accepted. An underpower relay can measure utility power and generate a stop signal
when the utility power decreases below a selected level. A time delay is typically provided for the stop
signal of one minute or more (however, time delays are totally user controlled). The Basler Electric Model
BE1-32O/U Power Relay incorporates both overpower and underpower sensing in a single relay unit and
is ideal for this type of application.
In the second configuration, the start signal is generated in the same manner as that of Figure 47. The
start signal setpoint may be set above the import power setting. The stop signal will require an
underpower relay on the generator output. This system is illustrated in Figure 48.
Application BE1-32R and BE1-32O/U

9171100990 Rev U 49
Figure 47. Power Relay Start Control
Example 3: Generator Overload

When excessive load has been connected to a generating system, the directional power relay can initiate
corrective action. Corrective action could be energizing an alarm to alert the station operator. For
automated systems, corrective action could be initiating the sequence to either shed non-critical load or to
start and parallel an in-house generator to assume the excess load.
Figure 48. Power Relay Start/Stop Control

50 9171100990 Rev U
Example 4: Intertie
Another typical use of the directional power relay, addresses excessive load and concerns distribution
protection (Figure 49). A high voltage bus supplies two transformers: T1 and T2. Both T1 and T2 can
supply all connected load. However, neither T1 nor T2 alone can supply the total load. A BE1-32O/U,
over/underpower directional relay can protect this distribution system by providing overload protection for
each transformer (overpower function) or by sensing power flow through the transformers (reverse power
function) in an undesired direction.
Figure 49. Power Relay Distribution Protection
Example 5: Delays Electrical Trip

On large steam units, where overspeeding is a prime concern, a reverse power relay can be used to
supervise electrical tripping (field and main ac breakers) for selected relay operations (e.g., non-electrical
trips, loss of field relay), as shown in Figure 50. The reverse power relay delays breaker tripping until
trapped steam has been removed from the piping. In this case, a separate direct-tripping anti-motoring
relay can be used to protect for situations not related to an automatic shutdown of the unit.
Figure 50. Single-Phase, Non-Electrical Trip Supervision

9171100990 Rev U 51
Example 6: Breaker Opening Detection

Figure 51 shows a reverse power relay used to detect the opening of a source at an industrial (or other
independent generation) location. A location with no generation but multiple ties from a common source is
a good candidate for this relay application. With local generation, the relay is applicable if the local
generation is not to deliver real power to the utility.
Figure 51. Breaker Opening Detection

Under near-floating conditions (minimal flow of real power from the utility), the relay can encounter a wide
range of power factor angles in the first and second quadrants (see Figure 52). If the local generation is
underexcited, reactive power is supplied by the utility and operation is in the first quadrant. Figure 52
shows the range of power factor angles (also in the first two quadrants) under heavy line loading.
Because of these power factors, the relay must not operate for any angle in the first and second
quadrants.
Figure 52. Power Factor, First and Second Quadrants

When breaker N opens, operation transfers to the third or fourth quadrants (see Figure 53). If transformer
exciting current predominates, operation falls in the third quadrant. If cable charging current pre-
dominates, operation falls in the fourth quadrant. In either case, the transformer losses must be supplied.
In Figure 53, a real current component of four milliamperes is shown and represents core losses of the
transformer (about 0.1% of rated).
Figure 53. Power Factor, Third and Fourth Quadrants

52 9171100990 Rev U
When breaker N opens, real power reverses from normal and flows toward the utility. This power may be
flowing to the tapped load. At this time, the relay operates and causes the 52 breaker to open.
Figure 54A shows an underpower tripping application based on the BE1-32O/U, model A1F with an
overpower setting of 0.5 watts and an underpower setting of 50%. The control circuit for this application is
shown in Figure 54B. Figure 1-10 shows the operating characteristic in the first and second quadrant. The
relay Under contact closes to trip the breaker when the real power flow from the utility drops below 0.25
watts. Because this contact is pre-closed at the instant of breaker closing, the trip circuit must be disabled
by a timing relay (62) until after the breaker has closed.
Figure 54. Underpower Tripping
Example 7: Reactive Power (Vars) Detection

This example illustrates a directional power relay configured to distinguish between real and reactive
power. Real power (watts) is supplied to the synchronous generator by the prime mover, and reactive
power (vars) is supplied to the field by the exciter. When field excitation is significantly reduced and the
connected system can provide sufficient reactive power to maintain the generator terminal voltage,
reactive power flows into the machine and causes it to operate as an induction generator with essentially
the same kW output. This situation causes two major problems. First, the additional reactive loading of
the faulty generator must be redistributed to other synchronous generators on the system. Secondly, a
synchronous generator is not designed to operate as an induction generator. Excessive heating results in
the damper (amortisseur) windings, slot wedges, and in the surface iron of the rotor due to the slip
frequency current flow when a synchronous generator is operated as an induction generator.
BE1-32R and BE1-32O/U Directional Power Relays are designed to respond to true power (P) as defined
by the following equation and illustrated in Figure 55.
P = EI (cos θ)
where: P = real power (watts)

I = effective current
E = effective EMF or system voltage
θ = the power factor angle
However, reactive power (Q) is defined by the equation:
Q = EI (sin θ)

9171100990 Rev U 53
Using the trigonometric identity sine θ = cos(θ – 90 )
then: Q = EI (cos(θ – 90 ))
Figure 55. True Power Response

If the phase of the sensed voltage is shifted +90°, the true power relay can be used to monitor reactive
power. In practice, this can be accomplished by applying the appropriate line-to-line voltage to a true
power measuring relay designed for line-to-neutral sensing. Figure 56 illustrates how a single-phase
BE1-32R or BE1-32O/U can be connected to measure either real power (watts) or reactive power (vars)
flow in a three-phase system. Note the difference of phase relationship between the alternate connections
in Figure 56.
