Method of Earthing
Machine stator windings are surrounded by a mass of earthed metal
Most probable result of stator winding insulation failure is a phase-earth fault
Desirable to earth neutral point of generator to prevent dangerous transient
overvoltages during arcing earth faults Several methods of earthing are in use
Damage resulting from a stator earth fault will depend upon the earthing
arrangement

Desirable to limit earth fault current :

reduces possibility of developing into phase - phase fault
Degree to which fault current is limited must take into account :

Directly Connected Generators :
Earthed Generator : Earth fault relay must be time delayed for
co-ordination with other earth fault protection on the power system.
Unearthed Generators : Other generators connected in parallel
will generally be unearthed.
Protection is restricted to faults on the generator, grading with power system earth fault protection is not
required. A high impedance instantaneous relay can be used (Balanced Earth Fault protection).

Pole Slipping
Sudden changes or shocks in an electrical power system
may lead to power system oscillations - regular variationsof I and V and angular system separation
In a recoverable situation these oscillations will die away -a power swing
In an unrecoverable situation the oscillations become so
severe that synchronisation between the generator and thepower system is lost - out of step/pole slipping
Causes
Transient system faults Failure of the generator governor
Failure of the generators excitation control Reconnection of an islanded system without
synchronisation Switching transients on a weak system

Check is used when closing generator CB to ensure synchronism withsystem voltage.
Check synch relay usually checks 3 things:
Phase angle difference Voltage Frequency difference

Phase angle difference
Single phase comparison Can select either A-N, B-N, C-N, A-B, B-C, C-A is settings
Typical setting is 20 to reduce mechanical stresses on generators.
Voltage
Check synch relay inoperative if :-
Generator/busbar voltage is below or above preset limit (independent settings
for generator and busbar under/overvoltages)
voltage difference exceeds preset limit
Typical settings for undervoltage: 80 - 85% Vn Typical settings for difference voltage: 6 - 10% Vn
Frequency difference
Usually measured by time to traverse phase angle limits or direct slipfrequency measurement (Fgen Fbus)
Eg Timer setting of 2 secs over20 :
Slip frequency = 2 x (20 x ) / 360 = 0.055Hz = 0.11% (50Hz)
Timer usually set to 2 secs or 10 x C.B. closing time whichever is greater).

Check synch has 2 stages Check Sync 1/2
Usually only 1 stage is required for generator applications Check Sync 2 has CB closing time compensation
Check Sync2 only permits closure for decreasing angles of slip
Check synch has vector compensation to account for phaseshift across transformer with Main VT Vect Grp setting 0-11
Check synch has ratio correction to correct ratio errors of VTs
Voltage monitors for dead/live generator/busbar
