Introduction
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
WARNING injury.
Follow the requirements of this manual, including adequate wiring size and type,
terminal torque settings, voltage, current magnitudes applied, and adequate isolation/
clearance in external wiring from high to low voltage circuits.

GPM FIELD AND STATOR GROUND FAULT PROTECTION MODULES – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 1
FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Ensure that the control power applied to the device, the AC current, and voltage input
match the ratings specified on the relay nameplate. Do not apply current or voltage in
excess of the specified limits.
Only qualified personnel are to operate the device. Such personnel must be thoroughly
familiar with all safety cautions and warnings in this manual and with applicable
country, regional, utility, and plant safety regulations.
Hazardous voltages can exist in the power supply and at the device connection to
current transformers, voltage transformers, control, and test circuit terminals. Make
sure all sources of such voltages are isolated prior to attempting work on the device.
Hazardous voltages can exist when opening the secondary circuits of live current
transformers. Make sure that current transformer secondary circuits are shorted out
before making or removing any connection to the current transformer (CT) input
terminals of the device.
For tests with secondary test equipment, ensure that no other sources of voltages or
currents are connected to such equipment and that trip and close commands to the
circuit breakers or other switching apparatus are isolated, unless this is required by
the test procedure and is specified by appropriate utility/plant procedure.
When the device is used to control primary equipment, such as circuit breakers,
isolators, and other switching apparatus, all control circuits from the device to the
primary equipment must be isolated while personnel are working on or around this
primary equipment to prevent any inadvertent command from this device.
Personal safety can be affected if the product is physically modified by the end user.
Modifications to the product outside of recommended wiring configuration, hardware,
or programming boundaries is not recommended end-use practice. Product
disassembly and repairs are not permitted. All service needs to be conducted by the
factory.

Protection Modules
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,
8R) to connect stator ground protection CT (204-SD-43737) input to the G60 device.

WARNING INTERNALLY CHARGED CAPACITORS
A high voltage potential exists across terminals A1/B5 and terminals B1/A5 after
power is removed (up to 500 V). Take extra care to avoid accidental short circuit with
terminals A1/B5 and B1/A5.
HOW TO REMOVE CHARGE FROM TERMINALS
Discharge the GPM-S-B through terminal A1 and B1 before installation or maintenance
as follows. Temporarily connect one wire (minimum 18 AWG) between terminals A1 and
A7 and another wire (minimum 18 AWG) between B1 and B6 for two seconds. Remove
these connections after the capacitor discharge routine.

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
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

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

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.
