Relay Protection

:.................................................................................

1. Stator ground fault relay is used to protect the generator against

- Stator phase to ground fault

- Stator phase to phase fault

- Ground fault on the network
- Generator over voltage
- AVR fault

2. Overvoltage may be occurred on generator when:

-Ground fault on stator
-generator over loading
- Phase to phase fault
- Supplies light load with long transmission line
- Unbalance load
- Phase opening
3.

What will happen if the first ground fault occurs on the rotor
winding?
-

It may cause high damage due to high fault current

It may cause high over voltage
It may cause loss synchronism
It may cause unbalanced load

4. In the case of following faults occurs the unit must be forced into
following state:

Faults
Generator differential
Generator ground fault
transmission lion
Buchholz relay
Bearing temperature high
Loss synchronism

5. Relay

Electrical fault

Mechanical fault
