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.

Equipment used for Measurement: Multimeter
4.1. Voltage Measurement at 20Hz Generator with field side wires disconnected
R primary = 22kV/220V
V divider ratio = 5/2
CT ratio = 400/5A
Make the Earth at NGT side and correct the angle compensation
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.
6.2 Short made at NGT primary side and following reading were noted
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.
The CT input was revised as per the recommendation and the above conditions were
simulated.
7.1 Short made at NGT primary side and following reading were noted
RPrimary : 17 Ohm
R Secondary : 106 mili Ohm
I mag : 17.57 mA
V mag : 3.154 V

8. Relay setting after calibration: (secondary)
9. Commissioning Measurement:
10. Conclusion: The relay operation was found stable during above condition.
Detail:
For this test the setting values are primary and local value display also in Primary only.
The machine is standstill condition and Earthing simulated at Generator star point.
