GENERATOR DIFFERENTIAL PROTECTION (87 G):

It is unit-type protection, covering the stator winding for phase-to-phase faults due to breakdown of
insulation between stator phase windings. This relay is not sensitive for single line-to-earth faults as the
earth fault current is limited due to the high neutral earthing resistance. If CTs of identical ratios are used
on the neutral and line side of the generator, an operating current setting of 20% can be adopted. It is
instantaneous in operation and it trips the generator breaker (Class – A) to eliminate the system in – feed
to the fault along with the field breaker and turbines.
For all machines of ratings 10 MVA and above, this protection shall be provided.
