Loss of Excitation Protection in Generator: Loss of excitation protection in generator can endanger the generator or the connected system or both. It is caused by accidental tripping of field breaker, short circuit in the…

Rotor Earth Fault Protection of Generator: As we know already that field circuits are operated unearthed and it is not necessary to trip such a circuit completely if there is only one earth fault but…

Stator Overheating Protection: Stator Overheating Protection - Generally stator overheating is caused by sustained overloads or by cooling system failure. Overheating because of short-circuited laminations is very localized, and it is just a matter of…

Generator Inter Turn Fault Protection: Merz-Price circulating current protection system does not provide protection against turn-to-turn faults (short circuits between the turns) on the same phase winding of the stator because the current produced by…

Self Balance Protection System of Generator: It necessarily consists of two cables connected to the two ends of each phase and the cables are passed through the circular aperture of the ring type CTs, as…

Percentage Differential Relay Protection of Generator: This system, also called the Merz-Price protection system, is the most common type of protection used for stator windings against phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground faults. It is the standard practice…

Microprocessor Based Digital Relay: With the fast development in large scale integrated (LSI) technology, sophisticated and fast microprocessors are now available. With the rapid growth of modern complex large power system networks, fast, accurate and…

Static Differential Relay Block Diagram and Working Principle: The differential relay measures the phasor difference between two similar electrical quantities (voltage-voltage or current-current). The rectifier bridge amplitude comparator is the most common static form for…
