This document outlines the agenda and topics to be covered in a generator protection system seminar taking place on January 13, 2016 from 1-3pm at the YTU Electrical Power Department. The seminar will include welcome and introduction sessions followed by presentations on generator protection systems, protection functions and their details, and a question and answer section. Protection topics to be covered include generator differential protection, distance protection, ground protection, unbalance protection, loss of excitation protection, inadvertent energization protection, and breaker failure protection. Sample generator protection relay wiring diagrams and configurations for small, medium, and large generators will also be discussed.

Protection Functions
Generator Stator Differential (87)
• Stator Phase Differential
• Dual Slope Percent Restraint Operating
Characteristic
• Directional Supervision under saturation
conditions
Distance Protection (21/21N)
• set based in percentages of the line
impedances
• zone 1 is 80% of the impedance of the line in
order to not reach the remote end, the
• zone 2 can be set at 120% of the impedance of
the line in order to dependably overreach the
line,
• zone 3 sometimes are disabled or set to cover
an adjacent line.

Frequency Protection (81)
• Overfrequency (81O)
• Underfrequency (81U)
100% Stator Ground Protection (59N/59D)
Protects all of the stator winding
Existing schemes typically only see 90%
Stop low level fault near neutral from
degrading into a high level fault and causing
large amounts of damage

Protection Functions
Reverse Power (32)
Should be sensitive to 0.05 pu to properly detect motoring in large steam turbines
Existing E/M and Static relays not sensitive enough
May cause shutdown difficulties
Negative Sequence (46)
Should be sensitive to low values to detect open poles/conductors on system after
GSU
Existing E/M and Static relays not sensitive enough
Long time low level events may cause excessive rotor heating, thermal tripping and
damage rotor

Volt/Hertz (Overexcitation) (40)
• Detects changes in the Volts/Hertz ratio of the
generator or associated transformer
Loss of Excitation
Loss of Excitation (24)
• Uses Impedance Circle for loss of excitation
detection
• 2 Zones for fault detection and control

Protection Functions
Inadvertent Energizing (27)
• High speed tripping of unit after breaker accidentally closed on dead machine,
also pole flashover prior to syncing
• Most existing schemes do not incorporate
• Many schemes fail due to complexity (reliance on breaker auxiliary switches,
yard distance relays, etc.
• If breaker is not tripped rapidly, mechanical and electric damage can occur to
machine in fractions of a second!
• Pole flashovers must be cleared by high speed breaker failure, as the breaker
is open!
