Purpose of this Spreadsheet The purpose of this spreadsheet is as a tool to inspect Basler Electric inverse time overcurrent relay time current curves (TCC's), develop programmable curve constants, and to serve as a tool for converting time dial settings for electro-mechanical (e-m) relays to the nearest equivalent time dial setting for your Basler Electric overcurrent relay. Basler Electric inverse time overcurrent relays provide TCC's that very closely emulate most of the common e-m induction disk relays that were manufactured in North America. To further improve proper relay coordination, selection of integrated reset or instantaneous reset characteristics is also provided in most Basler Electric relays. Even though the TCC curve shapes have been optimized to emulate various electro-mechanical (e-m) induction disk overcurrent relays, the e-m relay time dial settings and Basler Electric relay time dial settings are not perfectly equivalent and the user may need to perform a complete coordination study in cases where curve coordination timing is very tight. This tool applies to the following relays: The Basler CT Powered Protective Relay line: BE1-50/51B BE1-50/51M

CO, IAC Retrofit Line: BE1-50/51B -214, -218, -219, -225, -226, etc. BE3-GPR BE1-GPS

The following Basler Numerical Multifunction Protective Relay lines: BE1-851 BE1-951 BE1-1051 BE1-CDS220 Note: BE1-CDS240 BE1-IPS

Some versions of the CT powered BE1-50/51 products listed above do not provide all of the curve types covered in this spreadsheet. Programmable curves are not available in the BE1-50/51B, BE1-50/51M, and BE3-GPR relays. Please consult the appropriate bulletin or instruction manual for the capabilities of each individual device. This spreadsheet does not apply to the BE1-51 and 67 series relays. Please see the file "51-67TCC.XLS" for a tool to plot the characteristics of these relays (available @ www.basler.com). Instructions and Notes Using the spreadsheet to determine nearest equivalent e-m relay time dial. 1. Go to the sheet "TCC Curves and Graphs." Load in the curve for the relay you are trying to emulate by clicking on the appropriate button. 2. If you have a time and multiple of tap test point that you have previously calibrated the elecromechanical relay to, simply enter in these two values into the appropriate fields (cells H37, I37). The nearest Basler Electric time dial for the chosen curve will be calculated for you. 3. As an alternative approach, if you have a time dial setting for the electromechanical overcurrent relay, you may use the cross reference provided on the "EM Relay Cross Reference" sheet to obtain the nearest equivalent Basler Electric time dial. Notes on e-m curve equivalence: 1. The values in the cross reference table were obtained by inspection of the published electro-mechanical time current characteristic curve. The closest approximately equivalent Basler Electric time dial setting was then entered into the cross reference table. The match is not perfect; see further notes below. 2. If your electro-mechanical relay time dial setting is between the values provided in the table, it will be necessary to interpolate (estimate the correct intermediate value) between the electro-mechanical setting and the Basler Electric setting 3. The maximum time dial setting provided by Basler Electric relays is 9.9. The Basler Electric equivalent time dial setting for the maximum time dial setting provided in the electro-mechanical relay is provided in the cross reference table even if it is calculated to be above 9.9. This is provided for the purpose of allowing interpolation as noted above. 4. Basler Electric time/current characteristics are determined by a linear mathematical equation. An induction disk has a certain degree of non-linearity due to inertia and friction effects. For this reason, even though every effort has been made to provide equation constants that provide characteristic curves with minimum deviation from the published electromechanical curves, slight deviations can be observed between them. In applications where the time coordination between curves is extremely close, we recommend that you choose the optimal time dial setting by inspection of the coordination study. Also, in these applications where coordination is tight, it is recommended that you retrofit your circuits with Basler Electric solid state relays due to their high timing accuracy. Using the spreadsheet to plot curves. It is fairly straightforward, but simply click on the appropriate button on the "TCC Curves and Calcs" sheet, and a plot of the curve shows up. You may either print the entire sheet, or by clicking on the graph, print an enlarged graph the fills the page. Also, the TCC Curves and Calcs sheet provides a means of adding the specific time dial that one will be using to the plot. Please inspect the sheet for this and other features.

Time Dial Setting Cross Reference Rev. B

This list is to assist a person that is trying to emulate an old electromechanical relay time with a Basler relay. The table gives the time dial of a Basler relay that most closely matches the indicated time dial of the indicated relay. For instance, if one had a GE IAC 51 relay set at time dial 3, the appropriate curve in the Basler relay would be the I2 curve set at a time dial of 2.7. If one is using some time dial that is between two time dials given in the table, one must interpolate and pick an appropriate value between the two time dials. The valid range for Basler numerical relay time dials is 0 to 9.9 in steps of 0.1. The table indicates some time dials outside this range, indicating that the relay cannot reproduce the curve, but may be useful for interpolation purposes.

Programmable Curve Constants Calculations

This Sheet calculates constants for the programmable curves given a user supplied set of time/current pairs and a target time dial setting.
Notes: 1) To calculate the Programmable Curve constants, this sheet makes use of the Excel "Solver" Add-In. Solver is supplied with Excel, but may not be installed in a partial installation of Excel, and even if installed, it needs to be enabled. You enable the Solver Add-In by the clicking on the appropriate box in the Excel Menu: TOOLS / ADD-INS. 1b) Even if one cannot load and run the Solver Add-In, or if one has specific constants that need to be evaluated, one may enter constants directly into the "Solution" fields below and plot the curves in the TCC Curves and Calcs Sheet. 2) When the Solver routine is run, the program minmizes cell G24, which is the RMS of "time error x sqrt(MOP)". The sqrt(MOP) factor forces improved error at high MOP for higher accuracy at the fast end of the TOC curve. 3) Though an inspection of the time delay equation may at first make it appear there are 5 user-adjustable constants in the time equation (A, B, C, N, and K), there are actually only 3 constants that can be varied: A, B, and N. The value of C is fixed at 1 so that curves will give a time delay that rises to infinity at 1 multiple of pickup, and K is fixed at 0.028 in all Basler relays. Desired Step 1) a: Enter 5 data points from the time-current Multiple of Time Delay Time Dial (D) of Basler Relay to curve of interest in the fields to the right. Pickup (M): (T) be used in calculations: b: Enter in the Time Dial (D) of the Basler relay that Point 1 (Low MOP) 1.300 10.6580 1.0 you want to match to these points.

Select the option, "Keep Solver Solutions." d: Go to the "TCC Curves and Calcs" sheet to plot the results. Equation for time delay: Curve Coefficient Definitions: T: Time to Trip.
