Differential protection is best understood as a fault control philosophy rather than a component category. The relay itself is secondary to the scheme it enforces. Once a zone is defined, the system ...

The loss of excitation (LOE) in synchronous generators represents a critical fault condition that can lead to severe operational disruptions and damage within power systems. Under normal conditions, ...

How you should treat the neutral conductor depends on your system design. Neutral conductors must be grounded to prevent inadvertent potentials on conductive surfaces of equipment, enclosures and ...

The objective of protective relays and protective schemes is to protect electrical equipment such as transformers, lines, cables, bus bars, etc. during abnormal system conditions. Hence, protective ...

The design of a generator system requires many hours of detailed planning with the goal of creating an extremely reliable backup power source. Properly installed, the ...

Since the early days of electric power systems, protection has been essential for the operation and safeguarding of power system assets as well as the safety of its users. Developed for the ...

Fire protection systems for air-cooled hydroelectric generators have several special requirements due to these generators’ unique geometries. This survey of options will help plant owners and ...
