Instantaneous Overcurrent (50-4) - Unbalanced Protection Alarm
If there is an increasing voltage unbalance in the power system (incorrect phase connections, stator turn-
to-turn faults, or motor winding connections corroding or loose, for example), the BE1-11m can alarm so
that you can take action before tripping the motor on unbalance current. Use the 50-4 element to alert
operations and maintenance personnel to take corrective action.
The pickup setting calculation is shown in Equation 84-31.
