function and label is programmable using BESTlogicPlus. A user-meaningful name can be assigned to
each output and to each state (energized and de-energized) for use in reporting functions. Output logic
can be overridden to open, close, or pulse each output contact for testing or control purposes. All output
contacts are trip rated.

Reporting and Alarms

Several reporting and alarm functions provide fault reporting, differential reporting, demand, breaker, and
trip circuit monitoring. 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 BE1-11t 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. Additional relay trouble alarms and all other alarm
functions are programmable for major or minor priority. Programmed alarms are indicated by major or
minor alarm LEDs on the front panel. Major and minor alarm points can also be programmed to any
output contact including OUTA. Over 50 alarm conditions are available to be monitored including user-
definable logic conditions using BESTlogicPlus.

Active alarms can be read and reset at the front panel or through the communication ports. A historical
sequence of events report with time stamps lists when each alarm occurred and cleared. These reports
are available through the communication ports.

Breaker Monitoring

Breaker statistics are recorded for a single breaker. They include the number of operations, fault current
interruption duty, and breaker time to trip. Each of these conditions can be set to trigger an alarm.

Transformer Monitor (51TF)

The 51TF (through-fault) monitor measures the current flowing through a transformer and compares the
current magnitude and duration to a damage characteristic defined by the user. When the current
exceeds the threshold setting, a through-fault pickup counter increments to indicate the excessive current.
If the duration of the current exceeds the damage characteristic, a through-fault duration counter
increments. The pickup counter or duration counter can be used to trigger a 51TF through-fault alarm
which would prompt inspection of the transformer. The number of counts for each counter is shown on the
Transformer Damage Report screen in BESTCOMSPlus.

Trip Circuit Monitor (52TCM)

The trip circuit of a breaker or lockout relay can be monitored for loss of voltage (fuse blown) or loss of
continuity (trip coil open). Additional trip or close circuit monitors can be implemented in BESTlogicPlus
using additional inputs, logic timers, and programmable logic alarms.

Demands

Demand values are continuously calculated for phase currents, neutral current, negative-sequence
current, ground current, real power, reactive power, and apparent power. The demand interval and
demand calculation method are independently settable for phase, neutral, and negative-sequence
measurements. Demand reporting records peak and present demand with time stamps for each register.

Power Quality

The BE1-11t offers IEC 61000-4-30 Class B power quality measurement performance. Power quality
settings include a fixed or sliding reference mode, dip hysteresis, dip ratio, swell hysteresis, and swell
ratio.

Energy Data Reporting

Energy information in the form of watthours and varhours is measured and reported by the BE1-11t. Both
positive and negative values are reported in three-phase, primary units.
