problems. The BE1-47N has the ability to detect negative
sequence voltage levels of this magnitude. The BE1-47N may also be used to provide over/
undervoltage protection. A separate time delay is uti-
lized to prevent shutdown of equipment for minor volt-
age dips and to permit sequential operation when the
relay is being used in a supervisory capacity.
