GENERAL INFORMATION
r
DESCRIPTION
The
available
fault
current
for
single
-
phase
-
to
-
ground
faults
is
very
limited
for
ungrounded
systems
and
systems
which
are
grounded
through
a
high
resistance
.
This
current
limiting
reduces
the
possibility
of
extensive
equipment
damage
,
and
eliminates the need
for
a
neutral
breaker
by
reducing
the
fault
current
below
the level
required
to
sustain
an
arc
.
But
,
it
remains
important
to
detect and
isolate
single
-
phase
-
to
-
ground
faults
in
order
to
prevent
their
evolution
into
more
dangerous
faults
such
as
phase
-
to
-
phase
-
to
-
ground
and
three
-
phase
-
to
-
ground
faults
.
Sensitive
voltage relays
can
be used
to
detect
ground
faults
where
the
fault
current
is
very
small
.
The
BE
1
-
59
N
Ground
Fault
Overvoltage
Relay
is
especially
suited
to
this
task
.
HIGH
RESISTANCE
GROUNDING
A
common
method
of
grounding
an ac
generator
is
to connect
a
distribution
transformer
between
the
neutral
of
the
generator
and
the
station
ground
.
The distribution
transformer
’
s
primary
voltage
rating
is
equal
to
,
or
greater
than
,
the
generator
’
s
rated line
-
to
-
neutral
voltage
.
The
distribution
transformer
secondary
is
rated
at
200
/
240
Vac
or
100
/
120
Vac
,
and
a
resistor is connected
across
the
secondary
winding
.
When
reflected
through
the
transformer
,
the
resistor
is
effectively
a
high
resistance
.
Rp
=
Rs
x
N
2
where
Rp
is the
effective
primary
resistance
Rs
is the actual value
of
the
secondary
resistor
N
is the
turns
ratio
of
the distribution
transformer
Available
single
-
phase
-
to
-
ground
fault
current at
the
generator
terminals is
greatly
reduced
by
the
high
effective
resistance
of
the distribution
transformer
and
secondary
resistor
.
The
distribution
transformer
provides
isolation
for
the
protection
scheme and reduces
the
voltage
to
a
convenient level
.
The
BE
1
-
59
N
Ground
Fault
Overvoltage
Relay
is
connected
across
the
secondary
resistor
to
detect the
increase
in
voltage
across
the
distribution
transformer
caused
by
a
ground
fault
in
the
generator
stator
windings
.
A
ground
fault
at
the
generator
terminals
will
result
in
rated
line
-
to
-
neutral
voltage
across
the
transformer
primary
,
while
ground
faults
near
the
neutral
will
result
in
lower
voltages
.
The
overvoltage
relay
setpoint
must
be
higher
than
any
neutral
voltage
caused
by
normal
unbalances
in
order
to
avoid
nuisance
trips
.
This
will
allow
a
certain
percentage
of
the
stator
windings
to
go
unprotected
by
the
overvoltage
relay
.
The
overvoltage relay
function
typically
protects
90
to
95
%
of
the
generator
stator
windings
.
The
BE
1
-
59
N
Ground
Fault
Overvoltage
Relay
monitors the
fundamental
frequency (
50
or
60
Hz
)
voltage
which
accompanies
a
ground
fault
,
but is
insensitive
to
the
third harmonic
voltage
present
during
normal
operation
.
One
hundred
percent
protection
of
the
generator
stator
windings
is
obtainable
with
the
optional
overlapping undervoltage
element
.
The
under
voltage
element is
tuned
to
the third
harmonic
voltage
which
is
present
in
the
generator
neutral under normal
conditions
.
The
undervoltage
element detects
the reduction
of
the normal
third
harmonic
voltage
which
accompanies
a
ground
fault
near
the
neutral
point
of
the
generator
.
An
undervoltage
inhibit
feature
is included with
the
third
harmonic
undervoltage
element
.
This
feature
supervises
the
operation
of
the
ground
fault
relay
to
prevent
operation
during
startup
and
shutdown
by
monitoring
the
generator
terminal
voltage
.

primary
and
a
broken
delta
secondary
.
The
BEI
-

N
is
connected
across
the
broken
delta
.
It
is
often
necessary
to
connect
a
resistor
across
the
broken
delta
to
avoid
ferroresonance
.
Grounded
wye
/
broken
delta
voltage
transformers
act
as
a
zero
sequence
filters
by
summing
the
three
phase
voltages
.
Under
normal
conditions
this
sum
is
zero
.
When
a

occurs
,
the
