Why Upgrade? Generator and
Transformer
Existing generator and transformer protection (more than 5 years or
non-digital) may:
– Cause protection security issues
Tripping on through-faults, external faults, swings, load encroachment and
energizing
– May lack comprehensive monitoring and communications capabilities
Not provide valuable forensic info that can lead to rapid restoration
– Not be up to ANSI/IEEE Standards!
Insurance, Asset Reliability and Personal Liability Issues

Desirable Attributes - Generator
– 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
– 100% Stator Ground (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
22. Index
Desirable Attributes - Generator
Inadvertent Energizing (50/27)
– 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!
