Protection Modules

Chapter 4: Stator ground module

Stator ground module

Overview
Using 100% stator ground fault protection based on sub-harmonic injection, a 20 Hz
voltage is injected to detect ground faults at any point across 100% of the winding. The
stator ground module works in combination with the G60 or MiCOM Agile P345 to provide
100% stator ground fault protection that is operational during generator start-up, running,
and stopped conditions.

Mechanical installation
The stator ground protection system consists of three modules: the stator ground
protection 20 Hz generator module (GPM-S-G), the stator ground band pass filter module
(GPM-S-B), and the stator ground protection CT (204-SD-43737). All three are required. The
following figures show dimensions and mounting.
With GPM-S, use a CT/VT module with Sensitive Ground capability (for example 8G, 8J, 8M,

Stator ground protection


Overview
For the sub-harmonic injection based 100% stator ground protection, configure the stator
ground source as follows:
• Configure the voltage measured at the neutral of the machine as the auxiliary VT
bank. The element extracts the 20 Hz component of the auxiliary voltage from the
source in order to calculate resistance. The fundamental frequency component from
the same input is extracted when the same source is configured for auxiliary
overvoltage protection element to provide 95% stator ground fault protection. Select
the auxiliary VT connection setting as “Vn” for this element.
• Configure current measured at the secondary of the neutral grounding transformer of
the machine as the sensitive ground CT bank. The element extracts the 20 Hz
component of the ground current from the source in order to calculate resistance.
• This source can be independent of any of the other inputs from the generator, such as
neutral end CTs, terminal end CTs, and terminal VTs. Or combine these auxiliary VT
and sensitive ground CT with either neutral side or terminal side inputs within the
same source settings.
• In addition, set the relay with frequency tracking enabled and, for the source used as
the G60 Frequency And Phase Reference setting, use the one connected to generator
terminal VTs. The tracking frequency, which is essentially the generator frequency,
blocks the sub-harmonic stator ground protection and auxiliary over-voltage
protection in the frequency range of 15 to 25 Hz.

Sub-harmonic stator ground fault settings


A voltage source placed at the neutral of the generator produces a current for ground
faults anywhere on the stator winding. This source is coupled to the primary circuit using
the existing neutral grounding transformer. The following figure shows a typical high-
impedance grounded generator that is protected against ground faults using the sub-
harmonic injection method. The neutral resistor is chosen to limit the ground fault current
to a low value (less than 25 A) in order to minimize damage. A sub-harmonic frequency

GPM FIELD AND STATOR GROUND FAULT PROTECTION MODULES – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 31
STATOR GROUND PROTECTION CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS

voltage signal is injected into the neutral of the generator. Under normal conditions, a
resulting current flows through the surge capacitors (Cs) and through the stray
capacitance of the stator and step-up transformer windings. When a ground fault
develops on the stator winding, an additional current flows through the resistance RG. The
value of RG is derived from the measurement of the injected voltage and the resulting
current.
Figure 31: Stator ground fault detection by sub-harmonic injection

An AC signal is injected so that it can be coupled through an injection transformer to the


primary circuit. The signal is of a low frequency in order to minimize the effects of the
capacitance of the primary circuit. A frequency of 20 Hz is chosen.
Referring to the figure, the admittance seen looking into the grounding transformer is

2 IG 1
Y = N × ----- = ----- + jωC T Eq. 1
VX RG

where
RG is the ground fault resistance
CT is the total capacitance to ground
N is the neutral grounding transformer ratio
VX is the measured sub-harmonic voltage
IG is the measured sub-harmonic current
The ground fault resistance can be calculated by measuring the 20 Hz voltage and current
phasors at the secondary of the grounding transformer. This is done by the G60. An
overcurrent element responding to the sub-harmonic provides backup protection.
For machines that can operate at sub-synchronous frequencies (for instance a gas turbine
that employs static starting), the function is blocked at frequencies between 15 and 25 Hz.
This ensures that the voltage and current produced by the generator does not leak into the
sub-harmonic ground fault measurements.
In addition, a check for minimum values of injected voltage and current guards against a
failure of the injection unit or a short or open circuit in the external circuit. In addition, the
critical-fail relay contact of the 20 Hz generator can also be connected to one of the
contact inputs of G60 and the sub-harmonic stator ground element can be blocked.
The stator ground source settings determine the signals that are applied for VX, IG, and
frequency. The resistance is reported in primary ohms. Therefore, the VT ratio setting of the
auxiliary VT input must match the turns ratio of the neutral grounding transformer and the
CT primary setting of the ground CT input must match that of the CT used to measure
ground current.

32 GPM FIELD AND STATOR GROUND FAULT PROTECTION MODULES – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS STATOR GROUND PROTECTION

When the magnitude of RG is large, the resulting current IG is very small and the G60
sensitive ground input is used to make this measurement. Thus, a CT/VT module with
sensitive ground current input needs to be present in a G60 when used for sub-harmonic
stator ground protection.
The following accessory modules are required for sub-harmonic injection based stator
ground protection:
• 20 Hz injection module (GE Multilin order code): GPM-S-G
• Coupling filter (GE Multilin order code): GPM-S-B
• Current transformer (GE order code): 204-SD-43737

typical settings fall in the range of 1 to 5 kΩ. This setting is given in primary ohms.
SH Stator Ground Stage 2 Pickup Delay

SH CT Angle Compensation
Range: –30.00 to 30.00 degrees in steps of 0.01
Default: 0.0 degrees
The CT used can introduce phase shifts. This setting compensates for the phase shifts to
obtain accurate fault resistance calculations. Perform a test during commissioning at no
fault condition by measuring the SH Current Angle reported by the G60. In a healthy
machine, the sub-harmonic impedance is purely capacitive and the angle is 90°. The
difference in angle can be used as the SH CT Angle Compensation setting. The preferred
method of doing this is by inserting a resistance equal to the SH Stator Ground Stage 2
Pickup setting at the neutral of the generator and compensating the angle at this
setting.
SH Stator Ground OC Pickup
Range: 0.001 to 1.000 pu in steps of 0.001
Default: 0.010 pu
This setting specifies the backup overcurrent pickup level based on sub-harmonic
current. This protection can be used in addition to the sub-harmonic injection based
100% ground fault and fundamental phasor over voltage based 95% ground fault
protection. One per-unit value of current is the sensitive ground CT secondary rating
setting, which is always 5 A since the CT used is rated for 5 A secondary.
SH Stator Ground OC Delay
Range: 0.10 to 600.00 seconds in steps of 0.01
Default: 1.00 seconds
This setting specifies a time delay for sub-harmonic current based backup over current
protection. Consider thermal capabilities of the loading resistor or neutral grounding
transformer when setting this delay.
SH Stator Ground Voltage Supervision
Range: 0.000 to 0.100 pu in steps of 0.001
Default: 0.000 pu
The 20 Hz source can be monitored using this voltage supervision. This setting in per-
unit values (pu) provides the voltage level below which if the sub-harmonic voltage
phasor magnitude remains for a period of 10 seconds, the SH STAT GND TRB OP operand is
asserted. One per-unit value of voltage is the auxiliary VT nominal secondary voltage
setting or the equivalent primary voltage if used in primary. A typical setting of 1 V is
suggested. However, when the neutral grounding transformer’s load resistance is less
than 0.5 ohms, the use of voltage supervision is not recommended.

LED indication follow the operate state of the element, and self-resets once the operate
element condition clears. When set to “Latched”, the target message and LED indication
remain visible after the element output returns to logic 0 until a reset command is
received by the relay.

Field ground fault protection


Overview
The following figure shows a field ground detection scheme using the G60 and the GPM-F.
The field winding of a synchronous generator is represented electrically by the impedance
ZF = ZF1 + ZF2. Under normal conditions, the field circuit is ungrounded. The capacitance CF
is the stray capacitance of the field, distributed along the field winding. This capacitance
represents the only path for current to flow to ground under normal conditions.

GPM FIELD AND STATOR GROUND FAULT PROTECTION MODULES – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 35
FIELD GROUND FAULT PROTECTION CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS

Figure 33: Field ground fault detection

The resistance RG represents a breakdown of the field winding insulation providing a


resistive path to ground through the field grounding brush. The insulation failure can occur
anywhere, so the impedances ZF1 and ZF2 are unknown. The fault impedance RG is also
unknown. The purpose of the field ground detector is to measure this resistance.
Measurement of RG is accomplished by injecting a voltage, VINJ and measuring the
resulting current, IG. The measurement algorithm must be capable of discriminating
between capacitive current due to CF (which can be significant) and resistive current due to
a fault. The exciter voltage, VFLD is a DC value with a small ripple such that the impedance
of the field is essentially resistive. The current IFLD is a DC current with a range of tens,
hundreds, or thousands of amps.
Figure 34: Equivalent circuit, single-point and double-point injection

Referring to the single-point injection circuit, the magnitude of IFLD makes it evident that
VINJ cannot have a significant impact on the voltage drop across ZF2. Therefore if two
values (VINJ1 and VINJ2) are injected, the following equations can be written:
V INJ1 = I G1 R G + I G1 R CL V F2
Eq. 2
V INJ2 = I G2 R G + I G2 R CL V F2

where

36 GPM FIELD AND STATOR GROUND FAULT PROTECTION MODULES – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS FIELD GROUND FAULT PROTECTION

IG1 is the current flowing due to VINJ1


IG2 is the current flowing due to VINJ2
Solving for RG we get:
( V INJ1 – V INJ2 ) – ( I G1 – I G2 ) × R CL
R G = ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Eq. 3
I G1 – I G2

For the double-point injection circuit, RCL is defined as:


R
R CL = ----C- Eq. 4
2
The VINJ voltage is therefore composed of a square wave to create two levels of injection.
Once the value of RG is known it can be substituted into the VINJ equation above to
determine VF2. If the VFLD voltage (refer to the single-point injection circuit) is known
through measurement then the location of the fault is simply VF2 / VFLD. This gives the
location of the fault as a percentage of field winding from negative terminal in case of
single point injection. If double point injection is used, fault location cannot be determined.
The relay displays an invalid fault location for approximately 10% for such conditions. The
fault location cannot be determined if the field voltage is zero (that is, when the generator
is not running). The fault location is displayed only when the measured field ground
resistance is less than 500 KΩ.

Ground undercurrent
A brush lift-off condition prevents the field ground detector from operating. This is
detected by calculating the RMS value of the ground current. It normally has a non-zero
value due to the capacitance of the field winding. A drop in this signal indicates an open
circuit in the injection path and the field ground under current feature detects this
condition.

Field current monitoring


The G60 can monitor the field current via a Hall effect transducer that produces a 4 to
20 mA output. This device must be wired to a DCmA input of the G60 or a HardFiber Brick.
Note that the relay must be configured with a transducer input card for the former case.
Assignment of this signal to the field ground function allows the user to detect a field
overcurrent or undercurrent condition. The maximum and minimum settings configured
for scaling of this DCmA input is used to get the per-unit values of field current.

Range: Single Point, Double Point
Default: Single Point
Field ground protection can be implemented by injecting a low frequency signal either
into both positive and negative terminals of the field winding or only into the negative
terminal of the field winding. For single point injection, the G60 provides the feature of
fault location. In case of a field ground fault, the G60 displays the location of the fault in
the field winding as a percentage of the winding from the negative terminal. If the
preference is to keep the injection symmetrical into the field winding, then double point
injection has to be done but the fault location feature is not available. This setting has to

Field Ground Stg2 Delay
Range: 0.1 to 600.0 seconds in steps of 0.1

This setting specifies a time delay for stage 2. Typical settings are in the range of 3 to 5

This is detected by calculating the RMS value of the ground current. It normally has a
non-zero value due to the capacitance of the field winding. A drop in this signal indicates
an open circuit in the injection path. To set this value, the ground current in a healthy

CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS FIELD GROUND FAULT PROTECTION

Field Current Function


Range: Enabled, Disabled
Default: Disabled
This setting enables and disables the field current fault element.
Field Current Origin
Range: None, dcmA 1, dcmA 2,..., dcmA 24, RTD1,RTD2,..., RTD8
Default: None
This setting selects the DCmA input to be used for the field current protection element. A
DCmA input can be selected from up to 24 possible inputs, depending on the number of
installed transducer modules. In a HardFiber Brick / G60 system, this setting can point to
one of the Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) inputs mapped to a Brick DCmA input.
In both cases, the minimum and maximum scaling settings of that transducer input are
used to perform the per-unit conversion. The unit setting are configured as “Amps” if the
transducer input is used.
These minimum and maximum settings are set as per the Hall sensor current rating. The
per-unit computation is scaled to a base equal to the maximum value setting, with a
zero per-unit value corresponding to zero in the unit system used by the maximum value
setting. For example, in the case where the maximum value setting is 100 A, a trip level
of 75 A is achieved by setting the operate level at 0.75 pu, regardless of the range (for
example, 4 to 20 mA, 0 to 20 mA, and so on) and regardless of the minimum value
setting.
Field Current OC Pickup
Range: 0.05 to 1.00 pu in steps of 0.01
Default: 0.80 pu
This setting specifies the field current level (in per-unit values) above which the
overcurrent element picks up.
Field Current OC Delay
Range: 0.00 to 600.00 seconds in steps of 0.01
Default: 1.00 seconds
This setting specifies a time delay for the overcurrent element. This delay is added to the
operating time of the element to obtain the overall delay.
Field Current UC Pickup
Range: 0.05 to 1.00 pu in steps of 0.01
Default: 0.20 pu
This setting specifies the field current level above which the undercurrent element picks
up.
Field Current UC Delay
Range: 0.00 to 600.00 seconds in steps of 0.01
Default: 1.00 seconds
This setting specifies a time delay for the undercurrent element. This delay is added to
the operating time of the element to obtain the overall delay.
Field Current Block
Range: any FlexLogic operand
Default: OFF
Assertion of the FlexLogic operand assigned to this setting blocks operation of the field
current ground element.

GPM FIELD AND STATOR GROUND FAULT PROTECTION MODULES – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 41
FIELD GROUND FAULT PROTECTION CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS

Field Current Target


Range: Disabled, Self-Reset, Latched
Default: Self-Reset
This setting defines the operation of the field current ground target message. When set
to “Disabled”, no target message or illumination of a faceplate LED indicator is issued
upon operation of the element. When set to “Self-Reset”, the target message and LED
indication follow the operate state of the element, and self-resets once the operate
element condition clears. When set to “Latched”, the target message and LED indication
remains visible after the element output returns to logic 0 until a reset command is
received by the relay.
Field Current Events
Range: Enabled, Disabled
Default: Disabled
This setting enables and disables the logging of field current ground events in the
sequence of events recorder.
