Step 2: Use BESTCOMSPlus to configure the BESTlogicPlus programmable logic previously shown in
Figure 66-1.
Step 3: Prepare to monitor the 87R function operation. Operation can be verified by monitoring OUT2
(see Figure 66-1).
Step 4: To test the Minimum Restrained Pickup setting, connect two balanced three-phase current
sources to the BE1-11m in ABC rotation: 0.5∠0°, 0.5∠–120°, 0.5∠120° amps to terminals D1
through D6 and 0.5∠180°, 0.5∠60°, 0.5∠–60° amps to terminals F1 through F6 (0.25x tap).
Step 5: Slowly increase the A-phase current in CT circuit 1 or 2 until OUT2 closes and record the
pickup. This should occur at 0.70 A ±0.05 A. Verify that there is an 87A target on the front-panel
display.
Step 6: Slowly decrease the A-phase current in CT circuit 1 or 2 until OUT2 reopens and record the
dropout. See the functional test report for acceptable ranges.
Step 7: Reset to the current levels in step 4 and reset all targets.
Step 8: Slowly decrease the A-phase current in CT circuit 1 or 2 until OUT2 closes and record the
pickup. This should occur at 0.30 A ±0.05 A. Verify that there is an 87A target on the front-panel
display.
Step 9: Slowly increase the A-phase current in CT circuit 1 or 2 until OUT2 reopens and record the
dropout. See the functional test report for acceptable ranges.
