Differential protection of solar power station generator

4 FAQs about [Differential protection of solar power station generator]

What is differential protection for a generator?

Differential protection for a generator is mainly employed for the protection of stator windings of generator against earth faults and phase-to-phase faults. When the system is in normal operating condition, the magnitude of currents is equal on the secondary windings of the current transformers.

What is differential protection?

Differential Protection Definition: Differential protection is a method used to clear internal faults in the stator winding of a generator or alternator. Current Transformers: Two sets of current transformers (CTs) are used, one on the line side and one on the neutral side, and their characteristics must match to avoid relay malfunctions.

Which current transformer should be used for differential protection?

It is also always preferable to use all current transformers for differential protection of generators or alternators should be of same characteristics. But practically there may be some difference in characteristics of the current transformers installed at line side to those installed in neutral side of the generator.

How is a generator protected against a phase to ground fault?

A generator is protected by restricted earth fault protection. The generator ratings are 13.2 kV, 10 MVA. The percentage of winding protected against phase to ground fault is 85%. The relay setting is such that it trips for 20% out of balance. Calculate the resistance to be added in the neutral to ground connection.
