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.
The following Basler Numerical Multifunction Protective Relay lines:
BE1-11 BE1-700 BE1-951 BE3-GPR BE1-1051
BE1-851 BE1-CDS240 BE1-IPS BE1-GPS BE1-CDS220
Note:

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.

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 electromechanical 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.

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.

Using the spreadsheet to develop the programmable curves constants.

The sheet "Programmable Curve Calcs" provides a means to develop a programmable curve from a set of points from your existing target TCC curve that you may
wish to emulate. See that sheet for instructions.

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 minimizes 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

Point 3 4.000 0.5060
Point 4 10.000 0.1190
Point 5 (High MOP) 20.000 0.0700
Step 2) a: Run the Excel "Solver" routine by clicking on the Excel Menu: TOOLS / SOLVER.
b: Accept the Solver settings that you will see and click on "SOLVE."
c: When Solver is done, a dialog box will pop up. Select the option, "Keep Solver Solutions."
d: Go to the "TCC Curves and Calcs" sheet to plot the results.
