BE1-11m Loss of Excitation - Reverse Var Based (40Q) Test
Step 2: Prepare to monitor the 40Q timings. Timing accuracy is verified by measuring the elapsed time
between a sensing current change and OUT1 closing.
Step 3: Connect and apply a 100 Vac, three-phase voltage source to terminals C13 (A-phase), C14 (B-
phase), C15 (C-phase), and C16 (Neutral). Connect and apply a 4.5 A current source (that is in
phase with the voltage) to terminals D1 (A-phase polarity) and D2 (A-phase non-polarity).
Step 4: Step the A-phase current up to 5.5 amps. Measure the time delay and record the result.
Step 5: Repeat step 4 for the 5,000 ms and 10,000 ms time delay settings of Table 68-3. Record the
results.
Step 6: (Optional.) Repeat steps 1 through 5 for settings group 1, 2, and 3.

Pickup Verification
Pickup Setting Range = 1 to 6,000 var for 5A sensing
1 to 1,200 var for 1A sensing
Pickup Accuracy = ±3% or ±2 var, whichever is greater
Dropout should occur between 95-99% of the actual pickup value.
