INTRODUCTION

BE3 dc millivolt sensing relays provide voltage monitoring
and protection for any application where dc voltage levels
are critical. A common application is overcurrent protection
for dc charging systems. Millivolt input signals from shunts,
sensors, or transducers can provide the input signals.
Undervoltage, overvoltage, and combined over/undervoltage
units are available. A time delay control provides an
adjustment of 0 to 10 seconds (operating time is typically
200 ms). This time delay may be used to prevent false
tripping when there are slight variations in the input signal.
BE3 dc millivolt sensing relays operate when the adjustable
trip point is reached. 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 falls below the trip point. A red LED indicates
the state of the relay. A green LED indicates the condition of
the power supply.

OPERATION

BE3-74SH and BE3-74SL dc millivolt sensing relays have
two user-adjustable controls marked SET and DELAY. The
BE3-74SD has four controls: UNDER SET, UNDER DELAY,
OVER SET, 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 40
to 120% (

±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 0 to 80% (

±3%) of nominal input.

The time delay is the amount of time that elapses after the
trip point is reached and when the output relay operates.

Setting Example

A BE3-74SH relay with a nominal input rating of 100 mVdc
has the following settings:

SET - 80%

DELAY - 4 s

A trip occurs when the sensing voltage rises above 80 mVdc
and 4 seconds elapse. Reset occurs when the voltage
decreases below 75 mVdc (5% of nominal below the
setpoint).
