100% Stator Ground

(59N/27TH)

Stator Ground Protection

Provides protection for stator ground fault on generators which
are high impedance grounded
Used on unit connected generators
Ground current limited to about 10A primary
Provides 100% stator ground protection (entire winding)

High Impedance Grounding

3rd Harmonic Comparator for 100%

Stator Ground Fault Protection
3rd harmonic levels change
with position of ground fault
and loading
Using
a
comparator
technique of 3rd harmonic
voltages at line and neutral
ends allows an overvoltage
element to be applied

Settings summary per IEEE C37.102
59G element: Pickup = 5 V; t = 5 s
Note: Time setting must be selected to provide
coordination with other system protective devices.
27TH element: Pickup = 50% of minimum normal
generator 3rd harmonic. t = 5 s
