Generator Protection

• For Stator Faults

• Phase to phase faults-Percentage Differential Protection

• Phase to ground faults-Restricted earth fault Protection

• Inter-turn faults-Split Phase Relay

• Stator overheating-Thermal Relays

• For Rotor Faults
• Excitation failure- Offset mho relay
• Rotor Field to Ground Fault-Sensitive Rotor Earth fault relay
• Rotor Overheating-Negative Sequence Relay

• Prime Mover Failure- Directional relay or Reverse Power relay or Wattmetric

Relay
• Loss of Synchronism- Out of Step Tripping Relay
• Over Speed- Centrifugal mechanical device or Flyball Governer

• Over Load- Over Current Relay

• Over voltage- Over Voltage Relay

• Failure of cooling medium-Thermal Relay
