Rotor earth fault

 The field circuit of the generator is normally isolated from


earth
 With a single earth fault in the rotor circuit it is possible to
have continuous operation without generator damages
 There however creates an increased risk of a second rotor
earth fault. In such a case there will be large current and
risk of severe damages.
 Major damages ensue following a second ground fault
 The requirement of fast fault clearance is moderate

From asymmetric currents, a negative sequence current
component I2, is filtered out.
Negative sequence stator currents rotate in a opposite
direction from the rotor and consequently induce a
120Hz current component into the rotor. As a
consequence rotor ends can over-heat.

Pole slip / out of step protection (78)
 Asynchronous running of a synchronous
machine with the rest of the system but with
excitation intact (opposed to loss of Field)
 Characterized by power
(P & Q) oscillation
 Manifests as impedance movement in R & X
plane
 destructive mechanical impact on turbine and
shaft
 Pole Slip typically caused by:
 Long fault clearance time (especially close
by 3Ph faults are critical)
 Inadvertent tripping of a transmission line
(increase of transmission impedance
between generator and load)
 Loss of large generator unit

Pole slip / out of step protection (78)
 Monitor the swing impedance loci
across the generator unit R-X plane
 78 function typically locates at the
gen terminal (PT/CT location)
 Single or double lens characteristic
typically are employed with mho
supervision
 Must be secure against generator
unit faults or stable power swing
 Double lens (binder) scheme is
more secure
 The delta rotor angle can be
controlled (thru binder impedance
settings) to allow a more favorable
phase shift across breaker poles
when tripping the breaker
 System transient stability studies to
decide who should trip (line or Gen)

Over-fluxing (excessive V/Hz), 24
 Overfluxing protects generator and
transformer magnetic core against
overheating
 Specially critical during start-up and
shut-down
 Wide frequency operation of the
relay important for generator

Accidental energizing, 50AE
 Operates when generator is
energized while offline (field is off)
 Behaved a induction motor
 Significant localized heating
damages to rotor surface (I2 based)
 Operating errors, CB flash-over
 Some relays (functions) usually
taken out of service when the Gen
is offline (40) or not appropriate
 Dedicated voltage controlled OC

Breaker-failure protection (50BF)

 Issues a back-up trip of adjacent breaker in case of failure of the circuit


breaker of the protected object to open (i.e. to interrupt the primary
circuit)
 Its operation in most cases trips only local breakers (Gen breaker)
 Commonly uses the bus bar protection disconnector replica logic to
route its tripping command to adjacent breakers
 On units without Gen breaker, same BF considerations apply as in the
HV breakers (transient stability, DTT requirement)
 Re-trip (t1), Backup trip / bus-strip (t2), Second back-up trip timer
(t3)
 Operating mode
 Current / Contact / Current & Contact
