Abstract
The purpose of this research is to develop models which can be used to produce redistic test waveforms for the evaluation of protection systems used for generators and transformers. Software models of generators and transformers which have the capability to calculate voltage and current waveforms in the presence of interna1 faults are presented in this thesis.
The thesis dso presents accurate models of current transformers used in differential
current protection schemes. These include air gapped current transformers which are widely used in transformer and generator protection.
The models of generators and transformers can be used with the models of current
transformers to obtain test waveforms to evaluate a protection systern
The models are validated by comparing the results obtained fiom simulations with
recorded waveforms.

Introduction
The purpose of this research is to develop models which will allow the engineer to produce realistic test waveforms for the evaluation of protection systems used for generators and transformers. Models of generators and transformers capable of r e p resenting internal faults are the most important elements of the project but an accurate mode1 for a current transformer used in dinerential current schemes also requires attention. Chapter 1 outlines the motivation and the reason for undertaking such
a project despite the fact that accurate models of synchronous machines and power
transformers are already avaiiable for system studies. This chapter also describes the importance of protecting these two important elements in an electrical power system
and examines the various protection schemes employed to detect faults when a probIem occurs inside the unit or in the system to which it is comected. The causes for
internal faults and the resulting adverse effects on the power system and the faulted
unit are aIso briefly addressed. The current transformer plays an important role in
the performance of a protection scheme and should be accurately represented when
studying a protection scheme. It is very cornmon in machine and transformer protection to employ air gapped current transformers. Models of solid core and air gapped

Synchronous generators
The synchronous generator can be described as one of the most important pieces of equipment in an electrical power system. In an interconnected system, the proper functioning of the generators is critical in maintainhg an uninterrupted power s u p
ply to the customer. The ever increasing demand for electrical energy has made it
essential for most systems to be operated close to their capacity limits. In such a situation, the maloperation of a generator can cause the system to become unstable leading to possible supply interruptions. Undesirable conditions can occur inside the generator due to fadts in the extemal system to which it is connected and also due to faults inside the generator itself. It must be properly protected so that any abnormal condition is detected quickly, enabling corrective measures to be implemented. An
interna1 fault usually means that the machine is already damaged. Protection will limit further damage by de-energising the machine.
l damaging the machine are far worse [Il. The generators in a system are not a l identical. They ciiffer in size, type, winding design and many other features. Thus, any
given generator must be studied with due attention to its design before the protection
engineer can corne up with the appropriate protection. The engineer needs a variety
of information about the generator, the system to which it is connected, the method
used to ground the generator, the equipment to be used in the protection scheme and

A generator protection scheme has t O consider many possible abnormal conditions. Some typical situations requiring protection are listed below [4].
1 Fauits in the stator winding . These are caused by the failure of the insulation between the conductors
or by the faiiure of the insulation between a conductor and the iron core.
2. Faults in the rotor windings
The insulation of the rotor windings can break down giving rise to ground faults. Open circuit faults can occur in the rotor circuit due to damage to the structural parts of the rotor.This is a consequence of heating due to unbalanced stator currents and over-speed.
3. Abnormal currents in the stator windings due to faults in the extemal system
Extemal short circuits can cause large currents through the stator. Generators which are grounded through a low impedaace are the ones at a higher risk.

These include malfunctioning of the cooling system, vibration and bearing problems.
relay. Turn to turn faults in the same phase are not detected by dinerential relays and split phase relaying is generaily used to detect them. The dielectric strength of the insulation gets weakened due to factors such as age, presence of corona inside the machine, presence of moisture, baking of the insulation
and accumulation of dirt. This can ultimately lead to interna1 short circuit faults.
Over-voltage too can seriously damage the winding insdation and give rise to internai faults. The over-voltages are caused by lightning surges, switching surges, or over speed and over voltage due to a sudden loss of load.
A wlliding fault in the stator is considered serious as it causes severe damage to the
winding itself and possibly to the shafts and couplings of the machine [2]. When a fault is detected inside the windings, it is necessary to isolate the machine from
the rest of the system and to de-energise the field supply. If the field is not shut
off, the fault current will continue to flow inside the machine as can be seen fkom
the schematic diagrams shown in Figures 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3. The fault current will
continue to flow for a kw cycles even after the machine is isolated and the field shut off, because of the energy stored in the magnetic field inside the machine [2].
Heavy fault currents can badly weaken the insulation of the stator. I the fault can f be cleared before the laminated core is affected, then the repair cost and the repair

are much more severe. The asymmetric nature of the winding faults gives rise to
unbalanced currents which, in-turn, exert unbalanced magnetic forces. These forces
cause the machine to vibrate and, as a result, the shaft and couplings of the machine
can be damaged. Also, the windings can be displaced fiom their original location inside the slots. The possibility of a f i e is another concern and the fault should be
cleared before there is a chance for this to occur. To minimize the damage arising
Fom interna1 faults they are detected and cleared in the least possible tirne. Several protection strategies are employed to achieve this objective and to protect the stator.

1.5.1
The fault current in the event of a turn to ground fault is influenced by the method used to ground the generator, as can be seen Fom Figure 1.4.
If the generator is solidly grounded, an external line to ground fault will produce
a very high magnitude fault current in the machine windings. In an ungrounded
system, the fault current is generdy extremely small. However, the neutral point voltage can shift to a high value in the presence of an external line to ground fault
and, as a result, the winding insulation may experience a large stress that may lead

harm the machine and, thus, these two grounding methods are almost never used in
practice.
The grounding impedance should ideally be sufficient to limit any fault curent to a
moderate level and a t the same time it should not be too large to cause severe over

which are very close to the neutrai. The third harrnonic detection method uses the
fact that, for most machine designs, the third harmonic current in the neutral wire for
such faults is very small. Thus, a third harmonic under-voltage detection relay is used
with filters tuned to the appropriate fiequency to detect faults which are very close

resulting sub-harmonic current in the neutral is increased in the presence of a ground fault and this is used to operate the relay. This scheme can provide protection to the entire winding and its performance is independent of the operating conditions of the generator. The disadvantage of the method is the need to provide a sub-hannonic source. This method can be used to detect open circuits in the neutral circuit because
an open circuit wiU reduce the harmonic current to zero.
The number of t u s involved aiso determines the induced voltage across the faulted section which will drive this fauit current. Since these faults can cause severe damage
to the machine, high speed protection with no intentional time delay is generally employed to detect them. High speed dinerential relays are used to detect phase to phase faults. They can detect three phase and two phase to ground faults as well. However, differential relay schemes cannot detect turn to turn short circuits on the
same phase since the curent at the two ends of the winding would be the same despite
the presence of the fault. Split phase relaying is used to detect turn to tum faults in machines where there are two or more coils in parallel in each phase winding.
The current tramformers make up a very important portion of almost all protection
schemes. Their behaviour influences the performance of the relays and therefore this must be carefdiy taken into consideration at the design stage of the protection
and when setting the relays. T i is especially tme in Merential and split phase hs
protection since external fault currents with a sigxdicant dc exponential and high magnitude, caused by faults close to the generator, can saturate the CTs leading to malfunction. The following methods can be used to protect the machine h m phase to phase and

variations of this method are illustrated in Figures 1.12 and 1.13. The method can
only be employed in generators with two or more pardel windings per phase. The
parallel windings of each phase are grouped into pairs and the currents are compared.

location of the fault and the grounding impedance, and aiso by the leakage reactance
of the windings. It is also d e c t e d by the three phase transformer connection. The
current in the case of turn to turn faults or phase fadts is determined by the fault

Figure 1.13: Split phase protection using t hree single window current t ransformers location, the number of tums involved, the winding resistance and the leakage reactance of the faulted sections of the windings. These faults are caused mainly by
voltage surges arising due to switching or lightning. The citculating current within
the faulted loop can be very high. However, this current would not be seen at the
terminais of the transformer due to the high turns ratio between the wlliding and the
fadted section of the coil. This makes turn to turn faults hard to detect.
The voltages and currents on the two sides of the transformer are not equal as they are related by the turns ratio. This is further complicated by the taps available on most power transformers. The current transformer ratios stiould be selected accordingly.

3. Magnetizing in-rush current
The differential relays see the magnetizing in-rush curent as an internal fault. T i occurs when a transformer is switched on to the power system. hs The harmonic content present in the in-rush cwrent is used to distinguish
it h m internal f a d t currents.
When the transformers are connected in a delta-star configuration, it introduces a phase shiR of 30 between the voltages at the two ends. The current transformers shouid be connected in a manner which accounts for
this phase shift.
Three phase banks made out of single phase transformer units, zig-zag transformer connections, auto-tramformers and multiple winding transformers make the task of protecting a transformer more complicated.
The relay operates only for faults in the star winding of the transformer. In the event
of a fault, the relay sees the whole fault current and this increases the reliability
of operation. The line currents flowing into delta connected windings or unearthed,
star connected windings will always add to zero unless there is a turn to ground
fault. Thus, normal earth fault protection can be applied to these windings. Here
Chapter 1
Transformer winding
Difkrential protection
Differential protection is used almost universally on Iarger transformer banks to detect
winding faults. Many factors must be carefully assessed before the relays are set. The
current transformers must be selected with special attention given to their saturation characteristics. Heavy external fault currents can saturate the CTs to dinerent leveis
and this can drive a Uerential current through the relay. Measures must be provided
to distinguish these fiom internal fault currents for which the relay is set to operate

Magnetic in-rush is another consideration in dinerential relay schemes for transformers
[IO]. This problem does not occur in generators since the generator voltage is built-up
gradually during initial startup. The in-rush current can be present when the unit is

Figure 1.15 shows the connection of the CTs in a differentid scheme of a delta star connected three phase transformer. The CTs on the star side are connected in a
hs delta and those on the delta side are connected in a star. T i accounts for the phase
shift between the currents on the two sides of the transformer. Since zero sequence
currents cannot flow in the iines on the delta side of the transformer, the CTs on the
star side must be connected in delta to eliminate any zero sequence currents being diverted to the relay fkom this side.
The relays should be properly biased to account for tap changes and also for CT mismatches. A typical biasing characteristic is shown in Figure 1 1 where more .6 current is required to operate the relay as the through fault current increases [ ] 7.

The behaviour of the current transformers influences the performance of protection schemes in synchronous machine and transformers [2], [9]. Thus caretul attention must be given to the selection of current transformers. Their characteristics should
be measured before they are connected. Some of the key factors which must be
Chapter 1
The flux-magnetizing current relationship of the current transformer core is non-linear. As a result, heavy fault currents can drive the device into the saturation region. This gives rise to ratio errors. Since the magnetizing current required now is much larger than in the linear region, the primary current will not be accurately reproduced at the secondary. This problem is further complicated when the faults are close to the generator or the transformer. The fault current in a case iike this is likely to be limited by a highly inductive impedance, and, as a result, an initial exponential with
a long time constant can be superimposed on the fault current. This will
result in the CT being heavily saturated on one haIf cycle [51].

wave of the CT secondary voltage when the primary current is interrupted. The remanent fluxcould cause the relays to malfunction upon re-closure
of the breakers leading to false tripping.
The current transformers on either side of the Merential scheme must have identical characteristics. However two CTs with the same design will
show dissimilarities when their characteristics are measured [2]. These
dissimilarities must be measured and taken into consideration to avoid misoperation. This is fkther complicated in transformer protection where the two sides are a t ditlFerent voltages and carry different currents.
these the remanence is accurately represented and, as a result, can be used in relay studies where a transformer or a generator is successively re-closed into a permanent
external fault [l4].

The need for machine and transformer models to simulate internd faults
The discussion thus far indicates the harmful effects of interna1 faults in machines and transformers and the need to provide adequate protection to minimize the harmful effects. It also indicates the complexities that arise when designing protection for these equipment. The design and the features of large synchronous machines and transformers are unique and thus each case must be studied independently. Also the fault currents and voltages depend not only on the design but also on the location of the fault, the external system which is connected to the device, and other factors. A

prior knowledge of fault current and fault voltage waveforms is very usehi to the relay

readily available. It i not practically viable to generate these waveforms using the s
usefid to the relay engineer. These models should be able to sirnulate internal faults taking into account the particular design, the fault type and location and the features of the system to which it is connected. Such models are not readily available at present and even the ones available do not
have the capability of taking into account most of the constructional features of the

Interna1 fault simulation in
synchronous machines
This chapter investigates the existing synchronous machine models which are widely
used in power system studies. The limitations of these models in interna1 winding
fault studies are outlined. The need to develop the machine mode1 in the phase
domain is explained and a method to calculate the inductances involving the machine windings is presented. The machine equations are then solved using a suitable
numerical technique. To show the vaiidity of the direct phase domain approach, comparisons are made between the simulated waveforms obtained using this method and
those obtained using standard machine models based on the d-q-O transformation.
These cornparisons were done on external faults.

The machine models available on most of the electro-magnetic transient simulation programs [17] based on the two reaction theory and the resulting Park transforare mations [39] [18][19]. This transformation makes use of the symmetrical nature of the windings inside the stator. However, an interna1 fault divides the faulted winding

into a number of sections. The symmetry which existed earlier i no-longer present s
between these faulted sections and the rest of the machine windings. Thus, the above models cannot be used in internal fault studies and the transformations cannot be
readily applied in such a situation. A machine model in the direct phase domain,
which is capable of extemal fault simulation, is presented in [20], [21]. The data
supplied by the manufacturer can be readily converted tu a form which can be used
in this model [22], [18].

transformed inductance matrix is time independent and, as a result, if the machine equations are solved in the d-q-Odomain, the matrut need not be inverted at each calculation time step. This is the major advantage of the Park Transformation. Most
of the existing machine models are based on this approach. Since faults extemal to
the machine do not alter the direction of the magnetic axes of the phase windings,
this approach can be readily used to analyze extemal faults. However, faults on the machine windings do affect the direction of the magnetic axis of the faulted phase
winding. In addition, the fault would effectively break the faulted winding into a
between the faulted sections of the winding and the other phase windings. This is described in detail in the following section.

In addition, the representation of the faulted machine depends on the fault type, the location of the fault and the design of the stator winding.

was also mentioned that diagonalizing the inductance matrix of the fadted machine
would not guarantee a transformed matrix with non tirne varying elements. This

Introduction
There has been a need for a machine model to simulate internal faults for a long
time. The main use of such a model would be in power system protection studies as
indicated in Chapter 1. However, models or methods which can be generalized and applied to any type of machine are not readily available. Due t o the nature of the problem, the models based on d-q-O transformation [39] canmt be used in internal
Chapter 3
fault studies.
41
It is essential that the models be validated by comparing the results with recorded waveforms before these can be used confidently. The absence of recorded data is another major drawback to the development of a mathematical mode1 to study internal faults [16].
33 .
fault simulation was presented in Chapter 2. The data supplied by the manufacturer
can be readily converted to a form which can be used in this model as can be seen
from Appendix C.
The performance of a machine under internal faults has not been widely published
and recordings of internal fault wavefonns are very hard to corne by. There are
few machine models available for internal fault analysis [23],[24], [25], [26]. Most
of these methods do not consider the placement of the conductors inside the stator
winding arrangement and any model that does not consider this will lead to errors.
The method used in [23] and [24] neglects the higher order harmonics and this leads t o errors since intemal faults give rise to stronger harmonics. The rnethod used in
[25] does not consider the winduig arrangement inside the machine and, hence, it is
Limited in application. The method described in [26],[46], and [47] considers a two pole, sinusoiddy distributed winding. Such winciings are hardly ever found in power systems and, hence, it is also iimited in application.
The method present ed in t his thesis t akes intO account the winding arrangement inside
the stator and, hence, it can be extended and used for any type of winding design
[41].A turn to ground fault is considered here but any fault type can be analyzed in
a similar manner. The machine is represented as a system of coupled coils and the
number of coils i this system is determined by the nature of the machine winding n
and the type of fault. The main challenge is to derive the self inductances of these
coils and the mutual inductances between any two of them. The following sections describe the metbod used in this thesis to compute these elements. A machine with four poles is considered to outline the method.

The two equations below give the voltage-current relationship of a synchronous machine, represented as six coupled coils [18].

Consider a short circuit fault to ground on coil (6) which is on one parallel path of phase A. This breaks coil ( 6 ) into two parts, A3 and A4 as shown in Figure 3.3. The phase A winding can now be considered to be made up of five parts, A l , A2, A3, A4 and A5.
Winding A l consists of coils (1) - (4) connected in series. A2 is coil (5). A4 is the
portion of coil (6) that is connected to coil (7). A3 is the other portion of coil ( 6 ) and it is connected to coil (5). A5 is the combination of the coils (7) and(8), connected
in series. This arrangement is shown in Figure 3.3. The machine can now be viewed

The inductance matrix of the system is symmetric and hence there are 55 independent
elements of which 10 are self inductance terms. The self inductance of a coi1 and the mutual inductance between two coils for a given position of the rotor depend on the
following features and parameters.

then the effects of saturation can be negiected. The permeability of the iron core of the stator and the rotor would be constant. Thus, under this assumption, the
self inductances of the normal windings are not affected by the fault. The mutual
inductance between any two normal windings is also not affected by the presence of
the fa&. Such elements in [Lsyna] are directly known from the inductance matrix [Lsynl] of the normal machine. Thus, 40 elements involving the faulted coils need to
be evaluated to define the inductance matrix [Lsynz]and to solve the equations to

The winding A l in Figure 3.3 makes up one parallel path of the phase A winding. The self inductance of the phase A winding is given by the foilowing equation where
The angle 0 in this case is the actual mechanical angle of the reference pole on the
rotor shown in Figure F.2, with respect t o the magnetic axis of coils (1) and (2) or coils (5) and (6) shown in Figure F.5. This is explained in detail in Appendix F. The
relationship between the 'electrical angle', O., and the actual mechanical angle, 0, is
given by

this rather than the more common approach of using the 'eleetrical' angle. Eiuther,
in intemal fault studies, there is no real advantage of transforming the angle to an
shown i Figure 3.5. Thus, it c m be shown that the magnetizing component of the n self inductance of the phase A winding is equal to the magnetizing component of the self inductance of any one parallel path of this winding. This is proved in Appendix

Since the two parallel windings have a common flux path, it can be shown that the mutual inductance between A l and any other unfauited winding i equal to the mutual s inductance between the phase A winding and that unfaulted winding. This can be seen from the results derived in Appendix D. This leads to the following inductance terms involving the un-faulted paralle1 path Al.
Now consider any one parallel path of phase A. This can be thought of as being made
up of two windings,
3 7 The winding X is .. made up of coils (5) and (6) and the winding Y is made up of coils (7)and (8). If this parallel path is energized with a voltage, V I , with the rotor kept stationary a t the position shown in Figure 3.7 and if the current drawn is il, then the voltage current relationship can be written in terms of the self inductance of the coi1 as follows.

The winding A5, which consists of the coils (7) and (8) is identical to winding (Y).
Thus the self inductance of this coil can be written as

The axis of the coil A2 is shifted by an angle (6) fkom the axis of the coiI X. The

inductance and the number of tu-
coils A2 and A5 can be written as follows. The detailed description of this is given in Appendix F.

manner. These are shown in Section F 1 . The details of these calculations are .4

The mutuai flux that crosses the air gap and couples both the stator and the rotor
windings causes the energy transfer from one point to the other. In addition to the
mutual f u ,there are flux lines that link only one winding. Such a f u is called the lx lx

windings but would not couple any rotor windings would also be considered part of

to ground faults i negligible. However, the fault current i the case of turn t o turn s n faults is limited by the leakage inductance of the faulted section of the coil and the resistance of that section. The fault current in phase to phase faults is limited by the resistances and the lealcage inductances of the involved coil sections. Machine designers treat the estimation of the leakage inductance in many difEerent
ways. The Ieakage flux is divided into Merent categories which are considered sepa-
rately. The resultant leakage inductance is the s u m of all these components [35], [54].
The following categorization of leakage fields is commody used for design purposes.
These fields are f i s t r a t e d in Figures 3-8 and 3.9.
1. Slot leakage
Slot leakage accounts for the flux that crosses the dot where the coil is embedded.
In the computation of this portion of the leakage inductance, the reluctance of the
stator core can be neglected compared to that of the air path. A method to estimate
the slot leakage of a phase winding is given in [35]. This method can be used, with
modifications, to compute the slot lealrage inductance of part of a winding. Since the slot dimensions , the way the coils in the slot are electrically connected and the
position of the conductors inside the slot must all be considered in the calculations,
each case must be considered separately. Appendix G shows how the method is
applied to the machine considered in this chapter.
End winding leakage fields are shown in Figure 3.9. These fields are formed around the coil ends protruding fiom the dots at the two ends. The estimation of this part is mainly based on formulas derived empiricaliy. The formula described in [42] and [35] is widely used. T i is used to compute the end leakage of the entire phase winding hs and takes the following form.
D is the diameter of the air gap and y is the winding pitch. The other parameters are explained in Appendix G. This formula is used with suitable modifications in Appendix G to calculate the end leakage of a coi1 of the example machine considered
in t his chapter.
The dinerential or the air gap leakage is due to the flux that crosses the air gap but which does not couple the rotor windings. This flux accounts for the space harmonies
present in the air gap magnetic field. In [42], this leakage is considered in two parts

be solved. The machine described in Section 3.4 gave rise to a system of 10 coupled coils. This number would be' different for another machine with a different winding design or a dinerent type of fault. However, in the case of a tum to ground fault, the
final system can be reduced and be viewed as a system of 8 coupled coils and hence
is described by a matrix equation of the order 8. It has the following form where [RI
is the diagonal resistance matrix of the system.
This reduces to

Faults between phases and turn to turn faults can be analyzed in a similar manner.
Figures 3.10, 3.11 and 3.12 illustrate a few possible fault situations inside the machine
of Figure 3.1.
The method outlined in the earlier section was applied to obtain the inductance parameters of a 4 KVA salient pole type machine with six poles. A number of faults were applied on the stator winding and the resulting waveform recordings were compared with those obtained fkom simulations. Three cases are shown in Figures 3.13,

Figure 4.2: Three phase transformer cores practice employed to ground the star point of the transformer comection. Unlike in synchronous generators, it is common to have solidly grounded transformers. In such
a case the fault current is limited only by the resistance and the leakage inductance
of the faulted part of the winding. The voltage driving this current is the induced
voltage across this faulted section. There could be some magnetic flux trapped in the core once a transformer is deenergized upon the detection of a fault. If the transformer is re-closed onto the fault, the current is influenced by the trapped flux in its core. Thus, it is important to accurately represent the saturation of the core and the remanent flux. The presence
of the air gap in the synchronous machine causes the trapped flux to decay at a much
faster rate. Thus this is not a major concem in synchronous machine simulation.

Consider a single phase transformer connected to a load as shown in Figure 4.14. The
turn to turn fault on one of the windings has broken this winding into three segments.
The circuit representation of this scheme is given in Figure 4.15. The flwces passing
through the windings (a), ( ) (2) and (3) are all equal since they are on the same l,
core. The leakage fluxes are neglected in the calculations, assuming that they are not
significant compared to the main f u . However, the voltage drop across the leakage lx
inductances cannot be neglected and these inductances, represented by

data for this analysis. The parameters a,k, and c are generally not supplied by the
manufacturer, In the absence of such information, these parameters can be estimated. This is explained in [14].This is a suitable mode1 t o study the in-rush phenornena

and other core configurations. Here, the problem becomes more involved since the

Summary

types of interna1 faults. Some results are presented in this chapter. In addition,
results from tests performed on the models to verify their consistency are presented.

Consistency of the equations derived for the faulted coils

The relationships between the inductances of the coils of the faulted machine should
be consistent with those of the normal machine. Thus the elements in the inductance matrix [Lsyn2] described in Equation 3.4 must satisfy the following constraints.

LOfZf can be regarded as a diagonal element in matrix [Lsynl] described in Appendix A. The second constraht involves any two coiis of the faulted machine and is shown in Equation 5.4. If this constraint is not satisfied the inductance matrix cannot be inverted and hence the equations cannot be solved. The shift in magnetic axes of the faulted coils mwt be given careful consideration in order to satisfy this condition. Equation 5.5 gives to the third condition to be satisfied for the matrix [Lsy*] be consistent aith the

represents the fault shown in Figure 3.4, should reduce to matrix [Lsynl] under the
conditions given in Equations 5.6, 5.7 and 5.8. e, is the voltage across the phase A

Equation 5.9 is satisfied. A similar analysis can be used for a l other elements. Thus, i
if al1 elements in [Lsyn*]meet the above conditions the system shown in Figure 5.4
should behave exactly the same way for extemal faults as a normal model derived
on the a-b-c domain or on the d-q-O domain. The fault resistance Rtit in Figure 5.4
was set to a very large value so that conditions in Equations 5.6, 5.7 and 5.8 are
met. An external fault involving h e A and ground was simuiated using the n o d machine model described in Section 2.5 and the model described in Section 3.7. The
comparison of the results obtained fiom the two are shown in Figure 5.1. The line
currents, the field current and the c m e n t in the damper windings indicated in Figure
5.4 are shown in Figure 5 1 ..
The agreement shown by this comparison is further evidence that the inductances derived in Appendix F are accurate and consistent.

The fault causes a current to fo in the damper windings. Sime the magnetic field lw

current reaches a steady state. This was not the case with balanced extemal fadts where the damper currents died out after a few cycles from the inception of the fauit.

The results in Figures 5.11 and 5.12 are obtained by isolating the machine before the field is de-energized after 0.7 seconds. This would prevent the fault being fed by the remote source. Such analysis can be used to determine the protection strategy for
synchronous machines.

the leakage impedances of the respective windings. The current i2 for a fault at 1 %

synchronous machines are almost never solidly grounded in practice.

Certain relaying schemes use the harmonic content of the line currents to identify the presence of a ground fault inside the machine. Such a scheme which employs the third harmonic content is described in Chapter 1 Due to the distributed nature of . the windings, the inductance terms are not purely sinusoidd. The expressions for

cosine terms to keep the analysis simple. When the higher order terms are taken into
account, the inductance of phase R would take the following form [22].
Similar expressions c m be written for other inductance terms and are shown in 1221.
The data required to estimate the additional parameters are not readily a d a b l e
and thus are generaiiy not considered in machine analysis. However [22] explains a
method to estimate them by performing tests on the machine. The waveforms in

inductance of the phase windings is considered. The fault is at 2.5% from the neutral

Figure 5.16: A turo to turn fault on phase A The diagram in Figure 5.16 shows a turn to turn fauit in phase A. Turn to turn faults
can occur when the minor insulation separating the turns breaks d o m . These fauits are generally hard to detect and if left undetected for a polonged period could lead
to more damage to the insulation. In machines where more than one parallel path is
present, split phase relaying is employed to detect turn to turn faults. The foilowing
figures show the currents in dinerent windings when such faults are present. Point
in Figure 5.16 is at 12.5% from the neutral.
The waveforms in Figure 5.17 result when the fault is at X and involves 7.5% of the
winding. The current i3 is very high The currents in the other windings of phase A
are higher than the currents in phases B and C. If the fault resistance Rtit is high
the current in the faulted section would be smaller and this effect is shown in Figure
5.18
There is no noticeable difference in the line currents before and after the fault. Currents il and i 2 are almost 10 out of phase indicating a circulating current. Since 8' these two currents are monitored in spt phase relaying, this fault would be easily
detected by the relay.

Tuni to turn fadts can be simulated using the models and Figures 5.40, 5.41, 5.42,
5.43 and 5.44 show simulation results for faults on the delta side of a transformer.
The transformer connection is schematically shown in Figure 5.39. The fault curent
depends on the number of tums in the faulted part. It can be seen that the fault
current is not reflected onto the currents in other sections of the winding or on the other side of the transformer. This is because the turns ratio between the faulted section and any other winding is very small when only a few turns are shorted. The influence of the load current on the fault current is not s i w c a n t as can be seen from Figures 5.43 and 5.44.
The B-H loop for the transformer material is shown in Figure 5.46. The input voltage, Ea, was increased above the rated value in this simulation t o drive the core

the flux density B too will show a sinusoidal variation even in the saturation region
and the current w i l l be distorted. This can be seen from the waveforms in Figure
5.47.
The waveforms shown in Figure 5.48 display the situation when there is a turn to turn fault in the high voltage winding. The important thing to note is that the core
does not go into saturation as a result of the fault.
Figure 5.49 shows a case where the supply was interrupted at a current zero. The flux
in the core does not drop to zero but maintains its remanent value. This feature makes
this mode1 suitable to analyze the effects of in-rush currents when a transformer is energized or when the breakers are re-closed after the detection of an external fault .

Summary
The models developed in the previous chapters can to be used to design protection
schemes for transformers and synchronous machines and to study how they would behave in difFerent situations. Current transformer models are developed in this chapter
to be used in such studies. Behaviour of certain protection schemes are presented with
the fault waveforms obtained fkom the machine model and the transformer model being used as the input to the CTs.

Introduction
The fault wavefonns obtained kom the machine and transformer models can be used
to analyze the behaviour of protection schemes. The current transformer plays a very important role in the protection schemes and must be properly represented in such studies. Zkipping of the breakers due to signals fkom Merential relays is treated
with utmost precaution and the unit is never re-closed. Thus, it is important to set

the differential relays so that they would not operate for external faults. Extemal faults with a high initial exponential component and a large t h e constant tend to saturate the current transformers giving rise to a number of p r o b h . Such fault currents are common if the fault occuts close to the transformer or the machine. It is
very common for utilities to use air gapped current transformers in transformer and
machine protection to overcome t hese problems. However, the higher magnetizing current drawn by air gapped CTs leads to 1! arger ratio errors and larger phase angle errors. These must be carefully studied before such CTs are used. Models of solid core current transfonners which have been tested for accuracy are available and can
be used in protection studies [14], [48]. However analytical methods to predict the behaviour of a r gapped CTs are not readily available [50]. An analytical method to i

Transmission line faults occurring ciose to a generator give rise to a fault current of
very high magnitude. In addition, since the fault wili experience a high reactance to resistance ratio X/R, there will be an initial dc exponential component in the
fault current which will decay very slowly. Figure 6.2 shows typical fault currents
during a line to ground fault for two different values of
the dc exponential component will decay slowly. Now consider the simple single
CT connection shown in Figure 6 1 The resulting secondary currents for different ..
burdens are shown in Figure 6.3. The CT in this case is made of a solid core with no
air gaps. Methods described in [l4] and [48] were used to simulate these secondary

a lower level upon the clearance of the fault. If the breakers are re-closed while the
fault is still present, the secondary curent then will be influenced by this remanent

Time (s) XI o4 Figure 6.4: Flux in the CT core under different conditions
depicted in this figure. DiEerent gap lengths were used in the simulations. The shape and the magnitude of the secondary current depend on the gap length. The initial exponential component in the primary current waveform is not as prominent in the secondary currents in the cases where the gap length is larger. This is an important feature of a r gapped CTs. Another feature to note is the ratio error i
between the primary and secondary waveforms. This is caused by the magnetising
current which builds up the flux in the core and the air gap. The larger the is air
gap, the more current is required to maintain the flux and, as a resdt, the ratio
error increases with the gap length. This error is also infiuenced by the relay burden, the secondary impedance of the CTs and the lead impedances since these determine the voltage across the CT secondary coi1 and this voltage, in turn, determines the
flux density in the core. The slow decay of the primary current and the rapid decay of the remanent flux upon the removal of the fault can be seen in Figure 6.6. The
higher magnetising currents also give rise to a larger phase angle error between the

complicated to visualize in protection schemes where multiple CTs are connected together i .different configurations and accurate simulation models become an absolute
necessity.
The flux in the core for the cases presented in Figure 6.5 is shown in Figure 6.8. It is
clear from this diagram that the problems caused by saturation can be controlled by
having an air gap of suitable length in the CT core. Upon the removal of the fault
the trapped flux decays a t a much faster rate. This would result in a lower level of
remanence when the breakers are te-closed and hence less chance for the protection
system to malfunction. The features of the gapped CTs highlighted in this section

The model of the air gapped CT was validated by comparing the simulated waveforms
with those recorded from a relay manufacturer's synthetic test plant in Stafford, UK.
Three air gapped CTs were connected in a star and the currents in the CT secondary
windings were recorded. Figures 6.11, 6.12, and 6 1 show the calcdated and the .3
measured secondary current for two different cases. The close agreement of the two waveforms indicates the accuracy of the model. The high fiequencies observed in the measured waveforms are due to noise introduced by the measuring equipment.

In addition, the line currents feeding the relays contain a significant amount of second

for a turn to ground fault on phase A, at 31% from the neutral. The relay, whether
high impedance type or low impedance type, would not have a problem detecting this fault. However, if a fault occurs very close to the neutral, the relay current can get very small. The current into a relay, with a low impedance of 5 Ohms, due to a fault at 2.8% fiom the neutral is shown in Figure 6.22. This current is small and is comparable with the relay currents during external faults. Fault discrimination thus becomes a problem when the fault is close to the neutral.

Figure 6.20: Restricted earth fault protection on a transformer star winding The performance of a restricted earth fault protection scheme is shown in Figure
6.23. The scheme is used to protect the star connected windgins of a three phase
transformer as shown in Figure 6.20. The transformer mode1 is used to derive the fault currents and these currents are fed to the primary windings of the CTs in the protection scheme. The relay current depends on the relay impedence and this can be seen Tom the results shown in Figure 6.23. The CTs tend to saturate when the relay impedence is high and as a result the the current to the relay gets distorted.
The dinerential relay current due to a tuni to ground fault on a synchronous machine
is shown i Figure 6.24. Six CTs are employed in this scheme as shown in Figure 1.7. n
The machine models, the transformer models and the CT models presented here provide the relay engineer with the necessary tools to simulate a protection scheme and decide on the relay settings. Such analysis would enable the engineer to enhance the performance of the protection scheme such as the speed of operation, fault discrimination and security.

Chapter 7 Conclusions
The main aim of this thesis has been to develop models of synchronous machines,
transformers and current transformers which c m be used in power system protection studies. Models with the capability to accommodate faults inside the windings have
long been sought after in the area of power system relaying because there is no recouse
to experimentation on the actual machine or the transformer to gather the necessary
7.2
This model takes into account the way conductors are actually placed inside the winding. This is necessary because the fault divides the faulted coil into a number of sections. The method presented here is very general
and can be easily extended to study any type of fault on any type of winding configuration. Interna1 fault current was shown to be dependent

on several factors such as the grounding method, position of the fault,
number of tums involved, the winding design and the loading condition.
Interna1 fault current in solidly grounded transfomers is mited only by the winding resistance and the leakage inductance. The method used to calculate the leakage inductance was tested by comparing the calculations with those measured by a transformer manufacturer. Like in the machine, details of the winding and the core are necessary to calculate the parameters needed to simulate internai faults. A method to include saturation
Air gapped CTs are widely used by utilities in transformer and machine
protection to overcome problems caused by CT saturation. Hysteresis and saturation are accurately modeled and the simulations were tested with recorded waveforrns to validate the model. A configuration in which three
CTs were comected in star was considered in these tests. There is hardly any published material covering this topic and this model would enable an engineer to select a gapped CT with the desired characteristics. It is important to match the gapped CT with the other CTs, gapped or solid core, to make sure of satisfactory operation of the protection. The air gap is considered as a series reluctance in the iron core. This allows the model
to display accurately key features of the component such as the slow decay of the secondary current once the fault is removed and the rapid decay of the trapped flux in the core.
4. Model of three CTs connected in a delta configuration
Since the delta connected side shows characteristics that are not seen on
the star connected side of a differential relay connection, steps must be taken to avoid maloperation of the relays. In most cases problems occur when the CTs are driven into saturation by heavy fault currents. The presence of a large circulating current in the delta windings was observed
in the simulation results. The presence of third harmonies in the delta
winding as w l as in the lines connecting the CTs to the relays was another el
It was shown how aiI the components modeled here are integrated to study the performance of a particular relay connection.
73 .
The transformer models should be tested with recorded waveforms during interna1 faults. Inchsion of saturation in the a-b-c domain machine models was not considered
in this thesis. The coefficients in the inductance terms that were treated as constants
would change in the presence of saturation and this change has to be calculated and
included in the model. Saturation and hysteresis in three phase transformers can be
treated in a fashion siniilar to how the saturation in a single phase transformer was treated.

Conversion of the d-q-O data t o the
a-b-c domain
The machine data supplied by the manufacturers or those derived fiom standard tests, are in a form applicable in dqO based models. These must be converted so that they can be used with abc domain models.
The leakage inductance of the machine is supplied in data sheets. It can also be
estimated by performing an open circuit test and the zero power factor test and then using the Poitier triangle approach [33]. The parameters Ld, and Lo are again supplied by the manufacturer. They can Lq
be estimated with reasonable accuracy by performing a slip test on the machine [59].
The following derivations show that the results of the slip test give the values of Ld and L, directly. A zero sequence test, where al1 three phase windings are connected
in series and a current passed through them can be used to estimate the value of
Lo.
In the slip test a balanced voltage is supplied to the three phase windings with the field winding kept open. The machine is tumed a t a speed slightly below or above the rated speed. The current in the phase A winding would be a minimum when the direct axis is in line with the axis of Phase A. Similarly it WU a maximum be when the two axes are 90 apart. Thus, maximum current occurs at 0 = 90" and the minimum current is at 0 = oO. The currents in the three windings would be balanced.
Hence at any given instant the currents are out of phase by 120" from each other.
Typical voltage and current waveforms for Phase A, obtained from this test are shown
in Figure C.1.

The equation i2,. for the steady state current shows the ratio error and the phase
angle error. The equation iad, for the initial exponential component shows that this
gets attenuated when it is transformed fkom the primary to the secondary. A larger
air gap in the core would result in a greater attenuation. In addition, a larger air
gap would aiso result in a larger ratio error and a larger phase angle error. This is
because, the presence of a larger air gap requires a heavier magnetising current to produce the required flux in the core. Thus, deciding on the length of the air gap
leads to a compromise between these errors and the attenuation in the exponential
component.
