INTRODUCTION
BE3 ac voltage relays provide voltage monitoring and protection in
both single-phase and three-phase systems. They are used in
applications such as utility mains failure, regulation of power
supplies, and to protect voltage sensitive equipment. Undervoltage,
overvoltage, and combined over/undervoltage units are available.
BE3 ac voltage relays operate when the adjustable trip point is
reached. An external time delay control is provided with an
adjustment of 0 to 10 seconds (relay operating time is typically 200
milliseconds). This time delay may be used to prevent false tripping
when there are slight variations in the voltage supply. On
overvoltage units, the output relay energizes when the input signal
exceeds the trip point. On undervoltage units, the output relay de-
energizes when the input signal goes below the trip point. A red
LED indicates the state of the relay. A green LED indicates the
condition of the power supply.

OPERATION
BE3-27T and BE3-59T ac voltage relays have two external, user-
adjustable controls marked SET and DELAY. The BE3-27T/59T has
four controls: UNDER SET, OVER SET, UNDER DELAY, and
OVER DELAY. The SET control adjusts the relay trip point. An
overvoltage trip causes the relay output to energize when the
voltage rises above the SET threshold. The overvoltage SET level
is adjustable from 100 to 125% (
±3%) of nominal input (V
nom
). An
undervoltage trip causes the relay output to de-energize when the
voltage decreases below the SET threshold. The undervoltage SET
level is adjustable from 75 to 100% (
±3%) of nominal input. Time
delay is the amount of time that elapses after the trip point is
reached and when the output relay operates.
Setting Example: a BE3-59T relay with a nominal input rating of 240
Vac has the following settings:
•
SET - 120%
•
DELAY - 4 seconds
A trip occurs when the sensing voltage rises above 288 Vac and 4
seconds elapses. Reset occurs when the voltage decreases below
285.6 Vac (1% of nominal below setpoint).
INSTALLATION
BE3 ac voltage relays are designed for mounting on standard DIN
rails that comply to DIN-EN 50022. Mounting involves hooking the
top edge of the cutout on the base of the case over one edge of the
DIN rail. The opposite side of the cutout containing the release clip
is then pushed over the opposite side of the DIN rail. To remove or
reposition the relay, lever the release clip and move the relay as
required. BE3 relays should be installed in a dry, vibration-free
location where the ambient temperature does not exceed the
operating temperature range. Connections to the relay should be
made using wire that meets applicable codes and is properly sized
for the application. Figure 1 shows the terminal connections for the
BE3-27T, BE3-59T, and BE3-27T/59T relays.
CALIBRATION
The calibration marks on the faceplate have a maximum error of
10% and are provided only as guides. Proper calibration requires
using an accurate voltmeter in parallel with the input signal. Use the
following procedure to calibrate your relay.
Overvoltage
1.
Adjust the SET control fully clockwise (CW) and the DELAY
control fully counterclockwise (CCW).
2.
Apply the desired trip voltage to the relay.
3.
Slowly (allow for the 200 ms operating time) adjust the SET
control CCW until the relay trips.
4.
Reduce the applied voltage (do not change the voltage level)
and set the DELAY control to the desired time delay.
5.
Apply the trip voltage to the relay and measure the time to trip.
