Application Coordination
In a typical application coordination scheme, a BE1-50/51B-237 or BE1-50/51B-238 is used to provide
primary protection for a radial distribution feeder. An electromechanical overcurrent relay with extremely
inverse timing provides protection for the transformer and bus. To improve coordination with the
electromechanical relay, the BE1-50/51B-237 or BE1-50/51B-238 is configured with the following settings:
•
Integrating reset enabled (SW3-4 ON)
•
GE IAC type curves selected (SW3-3 ON)
The feeder reclosing relay is set for two reclose attempts at 3 and 15 seconds after the initial trip. If a
permanent fault occurs (magnitude 10 times pickup), calculate the feeder breaker trip time for each of the
three operations. Refer to Appendix A for the characteristic curve constants and definition of the terms
used in the following time characteristic curve equations.
