5.6.10 GENERATOR UNBALANCE
PATH: SETTINGS  GROUPED ELEMENTS  SETTING GROUP 1(6)  GENERATOR UNBALANCE
The generator unbalance element protects the machine from rotor damage due to excessive negative-sequence current.
The element has an inverse time stage which is typically used for tripping and a definite time stage typically used for alarm
purposes. The inverse time stage operating characteristic is defined by the following equation:
where I
nom
is the generator rated current and K is the negative-sequence capability constant nor-
mally provided by the generator manufacturer.
• GEN UNBAL INOM: This setting is the rated full load current of the machine.
• GEN UNBAL STG1 PICKUP: This setting defines the pickup of the stage 1 element expressed as a percentage of the
nominal current as specified by
GEN UNBAL INOM setting. It is typically set at the maximum continuous negative
sequence current rating of the machine.
• GEN UNBAL STG1 K-VALUE: This setting is the negative sequence capability constant. This value is normally pro-
vided by the generator manufacturer (refer to ANSI C50.13 for details).
• GEN UNBAL STG1 TMIN: This is the minimum operate time of the stage 1 element. The stage will not operate before
this time expires. This is set to prevent false trips for faults that would be cleared normally by system protections.
• GEN UNBAL STG1 TMAX: This is the maximum operate time of the stage 1 element. This setting can be applied to
limit the maximum tripping time for low level unbalances.
