    The document discusses generator protection from negative sequence currents. It notes that negative sequence currents produce a reverse rotating field that can cause severe heating in the rotor and damper windings. The type of generator cooling, whether direct or indirect, determines its maximum allowable negative sequence current and must be considered when setting the ANSI 46 protection function to be below the generator's I2t curve provided by the manufacturer.

    Generation Protection
    The negative sequence

    function, ANSI 46 detects

    current unbalance, with or

    without ground.

    @studiesengineer
    Negative sequence currents

    produce a reverse rotating field

    and induce double frequency

    currents in the rotor.

    @studiesengineer
    There may be severe heating

    in the rotor and damper

    windings.

    @studiesengineer
    You must know the type of cooling

    of the generator, direct or indirect.

    This information is obtained from

    the manufacturer's datasheet.

    The maximum allowable

    negative sequence machine

    current,specifies the continuous

    I2 capability and depends on the

    type of cooling.

    current is expressed as a percentage of rated stator current).

    @studiesengineer
    Unbalanced fault negative-

    sequence current capability is

    expressed in per unit of rated

    current and time in seconds.

    The adjustment of the ANSI 46

    function must be below the I2t

    curve of the generator, provided

    by the manufacturer.
