Generator Protection

Classes of TG trips • Class A – Trip generator breaker, field breaker and turbine – Electrical trips before the output breakers

• Class B – Trip generator output but leave it supplying station service – Electrical faults in the switchyard

Classes of TG trips • Class C – Over excitation high V/Hz – Only used when generator is isolated from grid

• Class D – Trip turbine – Trip Generator after motoring is detected – Mechanical type turbine trips high condenser pressure
