8.9.2 Functionality
Negative-sequence time overcurrent protection for machines NS2PTOC is intended
primarily for the protection of generators against possible overheating of the rotor
caused by negative sequence current in the stator current.
The negative sequence currents in a generator may, among others, be caused by:
• Unbalanced loads
• Line to line faults
• Line to earth faults
• Broken conductors
• Malfunction of one or more poles of a circuit breaker or a disconnector
NS2PTOC can also be used as a backup protection, that is, to protect the generator in
case line protections or circuit breakers fail to clear unbalanced system faults.
To provide an effective protection for the generator for external unbalanced
conditions, NS2PTOC is able to directly measure the negative sequence current.
NS2PTOC also has a time delay characteristic which matches the heating
characteristic of the generator
as defined in standard IEEE C50.13.
