100% STATOR EARTH FAULT PROTECTION WITH LOW FREQUENCY
INJECTION

1. Obstruct:
The 500MW Unit-5 Generator commissioned on May 2007 except 100% stator
earth protection in MiCOM P343 relay.The concept is low frequency injection (20Hz)
of voltage to stator.The MiCOM P343 relay was used ISEF input for 100% Stator
Earth Fault protection.This is just current based principle. Due to this Problem we
went to MiCOM P345 with internal 100% Stator Earth fault protection.

With MiCOM P345 same protection tried and observed the value of R Primary
measurement is beyond the setting value.During this visit also the protection not taken
into service.The detail of observation is available on section 11.

2. Action:

The connections were revised as per MiCOM P345 relay 100% stator Earth Fault
Protection (low frequency) and the following results were noted.

3. Connection diagram:

Equipment used for Measurement: Multimeter

4. Measurements at Various Stages:

4.1. Voltage Measurement at 20Hz Generator with field side wires disconnected

20Hz Voltage at 4A1 to 4A3 terminal : 28.95V


BPF - At 1B1 to 1A4 terminal : 21.40 V
BPF – At 1A1 to 1A3 terminal : 12.85 V
BPF - At 1A3-1A4 Terminal : 8.54 V
P345 – At F21 to F22 terminal : 8.54V (Meter) & 8.887 (Measure-3)
At Field side wire at TB’s : 21.40 V

4.2. Stator side field wires connected (Now injection to Stator)

At Field side TB’s : 8.54V


P345 at F21 to F22 : 3.4V (meter) & 3.35
(Measure-3)
Current Measurement at TB’s : 1.92A
Current Measurement at relay panel : 3.84mA
Voltage Measurement at NGT location : 0.450V
Current Measurement at NGT location TB’s : 4.95mA
Lead loop resistance from relay 20HZ Generator to NGT : 4.3 Ohm

5. Rfactor : 104 (Ratio of Rprimary to Rsecondary)

The R factor calculated from following formula.

R primary = 22kV/220V
V divider ratio = 5/2
CT ratio = 400/5A

Make it relay setting as per below detail for calibration


R series :0
R parallel :0
Compensation angle : 0 deg

Make the Earth at NGT side and correct the angle compensation

6. Setting of Compensation Angle:

3
Check the Compensation angle at Measurement 3 and it should lead +90 deg.If the
Compensation angle is not leading +90 and adjust the value of Compensation angle
setting at Stator Earth fault menu until the current leading +90 deg.This is for
compensating the instrument transformer error.

6.1 Relay Measurement before Earth at NGT Primary side:

Note: The CT input terminated at 5A of P345 relay

RPrimary : 9.99 kilo Ohm


R Secondary : 9.99 Kilo Ohm
Compensation angle : 89.8 deg
I mag : 888 micro Amps
V mag : 3.35 V

6.2 Short made at NGT primary side and following reading were noted

Note: The CT input terminated at 5A of P345 relay


RPrimary : 104 kilo Ohm
R Secondary : 1.002 Kilo Ohm
Compensation angle : 25.74 deg
I mag : 3.536 mA
V mag : 3.184 V

For compensating the above R primary value at setting parameter the setting limitation
was observed. In Technical manual it was mentioned for 5A input the fault current
should be above the 2A and for 1A the fault current should be below 2A.

7. Relay CT Input connected at 1A terminal

The CT input was revised as per the recommendation and the above conditions were
simulated.

8. Relay setting after calibration: (secondary)

R series : 195 Ohm


R Parallel :0
