Protection of Alternators
Protection of Alternators:
The generating units, especially the larger ones, are relatively few in number
and higher in individual cost than most other equipments. Therefore, it is
desirable and necessary to provide protection .
(i) failure of prime-mover :
When input to the prime-mover fails, the alternator runs as a synchronous
motor and draws some current from the supply system. the machine can be
safely isolated by the control room attendant. Therefore, automatic
protection is not required.
(ii) failure of field
The chances of field failure of alternators are undoubtedly very rare.
not to provide automatic protection against this contingency.
(iii) over current
Due to overload on the supply system. On the occurrence of an overload, the
alternators can be disconnected manually.

(iv) Over speed
This is due to sudden loss of all or the major part of load on the
alternator.
Modern alternators are usually provided with mechanical centrifugal
devices mounted on their driving shafts to trip the main valve of the
prime-mover when a dangerous over speed occurs
v) Overvoltage
overvoltage in an alternator occurs when speed of the prime-mover
increases due to sudden loss of the alternator load.
(vi) stator winding faults
These faults occur mainly due to the insulation failure of the stator
windings. The main types of stator winding faults are
(a) fault between phase and ground (b) fault between phases
(c) inter-turn fault involving turns of the same phase winding
differential method of protection (also knows as Merz-Price system) is
most commonly employed.

(vii)Unbalancedloading
Unbalancedloading arises fromfaults to earth or faults between phases on the
circuit external to the alternator.
Under normal operating conditions, equal currents flow through the different
phases ofthe alternatorand their algebraic sumis zero.
Therefore, the sum of the currents flowing in the secondaries is also zero and no
current flows through the operatingcoil of the relay.
However, if unbalancing occurs, the currents induced in the secondaries will be
differentand the resultant ofthese currents will flow through the relay.

DifferentialProtectionofAlternators
The most common system used for the protection of stator winding faults employs circulating-
current principle .(Merz-Price circulating current scheme)
Schematicarrangement
• Identical current transformer pairs CT1 and CT2 are placed on either side of each
phaseof the statorwindings.
• Thesecondariesof each set of current transformersare connected in star.
• The two neutral points and the corresponding terminals of the two star groups
being connected togetherby means of a four-corepilot cable.

Protection of Alternators
Underearth fault:
Suppose an earth fault occurs on
phase R due to breakdown of its
insulationto earth as shown in Fig.
The current in the affected phase
winding will flow through the core
and frame of the machine to earth,
the circuit being completed through
theneutral earthlingresistance.
The currents in the secondaries of
the two CTs in phase R will become
unequal and the difference of the
two currents will flow through the
correspondingrelay coil (i.e. R1),
returning via the neutral pilot.
Consequently, the relay operates to
trip the circuit breaker.
Undershort circuit:
The short-circuit current circulates via
theneutral end connection through
the two windings and through the fault
as shown by the dotted arrows.
The currents in the secondaries of two
CTs in each affected phase will
become unequal and the differential
current will flow through the operating
coils of the relays. (i.e. R2 and R3)
connectedin these phases.
The relay then closes its contacts to
trip the circuit breaker

Protection of Alternators
It is a prevailing practice to mount current transformers CT1 in the neutral
connections (usually in the alternator pit) and current transformers CT2 in the
switch-gear equipment.
Under these circumstances, balancingresistancesare inserted in the shorter
lengths of the pilots so that the relay tapping points divide the whole
secondaryimpedance oftwo sets of CTs into equal portions.

Protection of Alternators
Limitations.
•It is a general practice to use neutral earthing resistance in order to limit the
destructive effects ofearth-fault currents.
•In such a situation, it is impossible to protect whole of the stator windings of a star-
connectedalternatorduring earth-faults.
•When an earth-fault occurs near the neutral point, there may be insufficient voltage
across the short-circuited portion to drive the necessary current round the fault circuit
to operate the relay.
•The magnitude of unprotected zone depends upon the value of earthing resistance
and relay setting.
Makers of protective gear speak of “protecting 80% of the winding” which means
that faults in the 20% of the winding near the neutral point cannot cause tripping i.e.
this portionis unprotected.

Protection of Alternators
Modified Differential Protection forAlternators:
If the neutral point of a star-connected alternator is earthed through a high
resistance, previous protection Scheme will not provide sufficient sensitivity
for earth-faults.
• However, too low a relay setting is undesirable for reliable stability on
heavy through phase-faults.(Through fault is secondary side limited fault
which can not be recognized by over current relay as their value is very low)
• In order to overcome this difficulty, a modified form of differential
protection is used in which the setting of earth faults is reduced without
impairing stability.
The modifications affect only the relay connections and consist in connecting
two relays for phase-fault protection and the third for earth-fault protection
only.

Protection of Alternators
Balanced Earth-faultProtection:
In small-size alternators, the neutral ends of the three-phase windings are often
connectedinternallyto a single terminal.
Under these circumstances, it is considered sufficient to provide protection
againstearth-faultsonly by the use of balanced earth-faultprotection scheme.
This scheme provides no protection against phase-to-phase faults, unless and
until they developinto earth-faults,as most of them will.

Protection of Alternators
Operation:
Under normal operating conditions, the currents flowing in the
alternator leads and hence the currents flowing in secondaries of
the line current transformers add to zero and no current flows
through the relay.
If an earth-fault develops at F2 no current flow through relay.
When an earth-fault occurs at F1 or within the protected zone, these
currents are no longer equal and the differential current flows
through the operating coil of the relay.

Protection of Alternators
Stator Inter-turn Protection:
Merz-price circulating-current system protects against phase-to-ground and
phase-to-phasefaults
It does not protect against turn-to-turn fault on the same phase winding of
thestator.
It is because the current that this type of fault produces flows in a local
circuit betweentheturns involved.
In single turn generator (e.g. large steam-turbine generators), there is no
necessity of protection against inter-turn faults. However, inter-turn
protection is provided for multi-turn generators such as hydro-electric
generators need inter-turnprotection.

  • 2. Protection of Alternators: The generating units, especially the larger ones, are relatively few in number and higher in individual cost than most other equipments. Therefore, it is desirable and necessary to provide protection . (i) failure of prime-mover : When input to the prime-mover fails, the alternator runs as a synchronous motor and draws some current from the supply system. the machine can be safely isolated by the control room attendant. Therefore, automatic protection is not required. (ii) failure of field The chances of field failure of alternators are undoubtedly very rare. not to provide automatic protection against this contingency. (iii) over current Due to overload on the supply system. On the occurrence of an overload, the alternators can be disconnected manually.

  • 3. (iv) Over speed This is due to sudden loss of all or the major part of load on the alternator. Modern alternators are usually provided with mechanical centrifugal devices mounted on their driving shafts to trip the main valve of the prime-mover when a dangerous over speed occurs v) Overvoltage overvoltage in an alternator occurs when speed of the prime-mover increases due to sudden loss of the alternator load. (vi) stator winding faults These faults occur mainly due to the insulation failure of the stator windings. The main types of stator winding faults are (a) fault between phase and ground (b) fault between phases (c) inter-turn fault involving turns of the same phase winding differential method of protection (also knows as Merz-Price system) is most commonly employed.

  • 4. (vii)Unbalancedloading Unbalancedloading arises fromfaults to earth or faults between phases on the circuit external to the alternator. Under normal operating conditions, equal currents flow through the different phases ofthe alternatorand their algebraic sumis zero. Therefore, the sum of the currents flowing in the secondaries is also zero and no current flows through the operatingcoil of the relay. However, if unbalancing occurs, the currents induced in the secondaries will be differentand the resultant ofthese currents will flow through the relay.

  • 5. DifferentialProtectionofAlternators The most common system used for the protection of stator winding faults employs circulating- current principle .(Merz-Price circulating current scheme) Schematicarrangement • Identical current transformer pairs CT1 and CT2 are placed on either side of each phaseof the statorwindings. • Thesecondariesof each set of current transformersare connected in star. • The two neutral points and the corresponding terminals of the two star groups being connected togetherby means of a four-corepilot cable.

  • 6. Underearth fault: Suppose an earth fault occurs on phase R due to breakdown of its insulationto earth as shown in Fig. The current in the affected phase winding will flow through the core and frame of the machine to earth, the circuit being completed through theneutral earthlingresistance. The currents in the secondaries of the two CTs in phase R will become unequal and the difference of the two currents will flow through the correspondingrelay coil (i.e. R1), returning via the neutral pilot. Consequently, the relay operates to trip the circuit breaker. Undershort circuit: The short-circuit current circulates via theneutral end connection through the two windings and through the fault as shown by the dotted arrows. The currents in the secondaries of two CTs in each affected phase will become unequal and the differential current will flow through the operating coils of the relays. (i.e. R2 and R3) connectedin these phases. The relay then closes its contacts to trip the circuit breaker Kongunadunadu College of Engineering and Technology Depar tment of EEE Protection of Alternators
  • 7. It is a prevailing practice to mount current transformers CT1 in the neutral connections (usually in the alternator pit) and current transformers CT2 in the switch-gear equipment. Under these circumstances, balancingresistancesare inserted in the shorter lengths of the pilots so that the relay tapping points divide the whole secondaryimpedance oftwo sets of CTs into equal portions.

  • 8. Limitations. •It is a general practice to use neutral earthing resistance in order to limit the destructive effects ofearth-fault currents. •In such a situation, it is impossible to protect whole of the stator windings of a star- connectedalternatorduring earth-faults. •When an earth-fault occurs near the neutral point, there may be insufficient voltage across the short-circuited portion to drive the necessary current round the fault circuit to operate the relay. •The magnitude of unprotected zone depends upon the value of earthing resistance and relay setting. Makers of protective gear speak of “protecting 80% of the winding” which means that faults in the 20% of the winding near the neutral point cannot cause tripping i.e. this portionis unprotected.

  • 9. Modified Differential Protection forAlternators: If the neutral point of a star-connected alternator is earthed through a high resistance, previous protection Scheme will not provide sufficient sensitivity for earth-faults. • However, too low a relay setting is undesirable for reliable stability on heavy through phase-faults.(Through fault is secondary side limited fault which can not be recognized by over current relay as their value is very low) • In order to overcome this difficulty, a modified form of differential protection is used in which the setting of earth faults is reduced without impairing stability. The modifications affect only the relay connections and consist in connecting two relays for phase-fault protection and the third for earth-fault protection only.

  • 11. Balanced Earth-faultProtection: In small-size alternators, the neutral ends of the three-phase windings are often connectedinternallyto a single terminal. Under these circumstances, it is considered sufficient to provide protection againstearth-faultsonly by the use of balanced earth-faultprotection scheme. This scheme provides no protection against phase-to-phase faults, unless and until they developinto earth-faults,as most of them will. Kongunadunadu College of Engineering and Technology Depar tment of EEE Protection of Alternators
  • 12. Operation: Under normal operating conditions, the currents flowing in the alternator leads and hence the currents flowing in secondaries of the line current transformers add to zero and no current flows through the relay. If an earth-fault develops at F2 no current flow through relay. When an earth-fault occurs at F1 or within the protected zone, these currents are no longer equal and the differential current flows through the operating coil of the relay.

  • 13. Stator Inter-turn Protection: Merz-price circulating-current system protects against phase-to-ground and phase-to-phasefaults It does not protect against turn-to-turn fault on the same phase winding of thestator. It is because the current that this type of fault produces flows in a local circuit betweentheturns involved. In single turn generator (e.g. large steam-turbine generators), there is no necessity of protection against inter-turn faults. However, inter-turn protection is provided for multi-turn generators such as hydro-electric generators need inter-turnprotection.
