An independent general fault detector is equipped in management module. Power source of output relay can be connected only when the fault detector operates. Besides, various other fault detectors are provided for various protection functions. Tripping outputs of protective elements on CPU module is valid only when the corresponding fault detector on management module pickup. Any component failures during normal condition will not cause unwanted operation. Variable slope percentage characteristic is adopted for differential protection. The slopes can be so set that high sensitivity can be got during internal fault and transient unbalance current can be avoided during external fault. In order to prevent unwanted operation of differential protection due to CT saturation, measures to discriminate CT saturation are provided for phase current on each side. DPFC percentage differential protection reflects only deviation components of differential current and restraint current and is not affected by load current. It can detect slight fault within transformer and generator. Besides, it is insensitive to CT saturation since its restraint coefficient is set comparatively high. Inrush current discrimination technique is used for the

equipment. Second harmonic and waveform of current can be used for discrimination of inrush current by option. CT saturation detecting logic can be put into operation automatically by the protection according to occurring sequence of DPFC of restraint current and DPFC of differential current, to ensure the security in case of external fault but reliability in internal fault cases. For external fault, criterion of waveform of current is adopted. Unwanted operation will not occur if the correct transfer time from primary to secondary side of CT is not less than 5 ms. As to internal fault, the equipment will operate quickly. High sensitive transverse differential protection adopts percentage phase current restraint and floating threshold. The equipment can operate for internal fault with high sensitivity and not operate for external fault with high security. New criterions for percentage current differential protection of generator are integrated in the relay. DPFC current is used as restraint for external three phase fault. DPFC and negative sequence current are used as restraint for external unbalance fault. Longitudinal zero sequence voltage is used as restraint for small turn-to-turn fault of stator. Stator ground fault protection adopts third harmonic voltage as the criterion. It can adopt proportion relation of third harmonic voltages between generator output and neutral point around parallel operation of the generator with the system. This criterion ensures that no unwanted alarm can be sent during startup/shutdown process of the generator. Rotor ground fault protection adopts ping-pong principle. Its DC input uses high performance isolated amplifier. Real-time display of voltage and insulation resistance of the rotor as well as the location of its ground point can be realized. Loss of excitation protection adopts open criterion. Many criterion such as stator impedance, reactive power, rotor

voltage, busbar voltage and active power reduction of stator can be combined flexibly. Requirements of operation of different type generator-transformer unit can be met then. Triple impedance elements are adopted by Out-of-step protection and system swing and out-of-step can be discriminated correctly. It can also locate the swing center and can make real-time record of number of pole slipping of internal swing and external swing respectively. VT circuit failure supervision is integrated. Two groups of VT inputs are equipped for generator end. If one group fails the equipment will send alarm and switch to the healthy group automatically. It doesnt need to block protective function relevant to voltage of generator. CT circuit failure alarm and blocking is integrated. This function adopts percentage differential principle. Detection ability of CT circuit failure can enhanced significantly and unwanted operation can be avoided then. The connector type can be selected as connectorized wiring connector and crimp terminal connector. The unique connectorized wiring connectors from the relay rear panel to the terminal blocks on the rack or cabinet makes the on-site commissioning and replacement much easier than when you do the commissioning using the traditional screw terminals on the rear panel. Various GPS clock synchronizations are provided: second/ minute pulse via binary input or RS-485, message via communication ports and IRIG-B synchronization. The format of event report is compatible with international COMTRADE file. The relay is equipped with Ethernet ports with IEC 61850 (one additional communication unit is required) and RS-485 ports with IEC 60870-5-103.
