CLASSIFICATION OF TRIPPING

Objective is to trip only the absolutely essential so that

- Damage is minimum
- Overspeeding of the TG due to sudden load throw off is avoided
- Impact of tripping of large set on the grid is minimum
- Auxiliaries if possible are kept energised and time to restart the unit is
minimum

CLASS-A TRIPPING

This is adopted for those electrical faults of Generator and Generator


transformer and unit auxiliary transformer for which tripping can not
be delayed.

This leads to simultaneous tripping of


- Generator Transformer HV side CB
- Field Circuit Breaker
- LV side incomer breakers of UAT
- Auto changeover from unit to station for unit auxiliaries and
tripping of turbine

GENERATOR PROTECTION Combiflex R
CLASS-B TRIPPING
This is adopted for all turbine faults (Mechanical) and for some
electrical faults of Generator, Generator transformer and unit auxiliary
transformer for which it is safe to trip the turbine.

Subsequently the Generator is tripped through low forward power


interlock

Ensures that unit does not overspeed due to trapped steam in the
turbine during the shutdown and also the loss of power to the grid from
the Generator is not sudden.

GENERATOR PROTECTION Combiflex R
CLASS-C TRIPPING

This is adopted for all faults beyond the Generator system which can be
cleared by tripping of Generator transformer HV side CB alone.

In this case the TG set runs with HP-LP bypass system in operation and
the Generator continues to feed the unit auxiliary load through unit
auxiliary transformers.

GENERATOR 100% EARTH FAULT RELAY
Calculations:
95% Element:
When a fault occurs on the high voltage side of a / Y step-up transformer,There is no voltage
displacement of the generator neutral due to Zero Sequence currents. But still a small generator
neutral voltage exists for an External ground fault due to a small capacitive coupling between
primary and secondary of the generator step-up transformer. If the data to Calculate this small
neutral voltage is not available, then relay sensitivity Is restricted to about 4-5%.

Also, the 95% relay of RAGEA is suitable for operation at lower frequency and thus can act as a
reliable earth fault protection during start-up. It Operates with increased sensitivity down to about 25
Hz, the operating value being about 0.6x set voltage. At still lower frequency of 10Hz, the relay
operates at 0.8 x set voltage.

Secondary side voltage of grounding transformer for a fault on generator terminal is 240/ 3 = 138V.

From experience it is found that, a setting of 5.4 V of the voltage gives adequate discrimination
against such faults.

Time delay setting need to be selected considering PT fuse operating time in case of a fault on

100% Element:
Setting of this relay is approx. 50% of 3rd harmonic voltage measured across the Generator
grounding transformer.
Typical value of this 3rd harmonic voltage = 1-2V
