Abstract:
Detection and protection against electric power generator stator ground fault conditions in multiple-generator high-impedance grounded installations is provided herein. In one embodiment, a generator protection element may block a determination of a fault using third harmonic voltages when the third harmonic voltage from the generator is less than a factor of the maximum third harmonic voltage from all of the generators on the common bus. A tripping subsystem may issue a trip command based upon detection of a stator ground fault condition.
