1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION1.3 PROTECTION FEATURES
1.3.2 STATOR DIFFERENTIAL (87G)
This function provides high -speed pr otection of the genera tor stat or during inter nal pha se-to- phase an d threephase faults. It uses a product-restraint algorithm with dual-slope characteristic described in Section 2.3.2:
STATOR DIFFER ENTIAL 87G on page 2–13. R efer to Figure 1–3: S IMPLE LOGIC DIAG RAM – 87G, 32 , 27 ,
59, AND AE on page 1–12 for the logic diagram of this function.
Function 87G will not operate for turn-to-turn faults in the machine windings.
It will also not operate for single-phase-to-ground faults if the system is ungrounded or high-impedance
grounded. Phase-to-ground protection by this function requires that the neutral of the machine (or another
machine operating i n parallel) be grounded. A small portio n of the windi ng next to th e neutral will no t be protected, the amount being determined by the voltage necessary to cause minimum pickup current to flow
through the neutral-to-g round impedance. Current-limiting devices in the neutral-ground c ircuit increase this
impedance and will decrease the ground-fault-protection coverage of this function.
1.3.3 CURRENT UNBALANCE (46T)
There are several cause s of generator unba lance . Som e of th ese i nclude unbala nced loads , unbal ance d sy s-
I
tem faults, and/or op en circuits. Th e negative-seque nce component (
) of stator current is directly r elated to
2
this unbalance and sets up a co unter-rota tin g flux fie ld in the mach ine . This in turn ca uses local he ating in the
rotor iron. The c apability of machines to withstand heating caused by unbalance current s is typically experessed in terms of an constant, and is supplied by the manufacturer of the machine.
The current unbalance tri p function (46T) of the DGP provides operating-tim e characteristics expressed as

linear reset characteristic is incorporated to approximate the machine cooling following an intermittent currentunbalance condition. In addition to 46T, the DGP s ystem also includes a current-unba lance alarm function,
46A, which is operated by the nega tive-sequence component (I2) with an adj ustable pickup and time delay.
See Figure 1–4: SIMPLE LOGIC DIAGRAM – 46, 40, AND 51V on page 1–13 for the logic diagram.

1.3.4 LOSS OF EXCITATION (40)
This function is used to detect loss of excitation on synchronous machines. It includes two mho characteristics
looking into the machine, each with adjustable reach, offset, and time delay. Logic is provided to block this
function by presence of a negative-sequence voltage (indic ating a voltage trans former fuse failure VTFF condi tion) and/or an external VTFF Digital Input DI6 (see Figure 1–4: SIMPLE LOGIC DIAGRAM – 46, 40, AND 51V
on page 1–13).
Excitation can be los t due to ina dverten t trippi ng of the fi eld brea ker, open or short circui t on the fie ld wind ing,
regulator failure, or loss of the sour ce to the fie ld win ding. Loss of exci tation can b e dama ging to the m achin e
and/or detrimental to t he operation o f the sys tem. When a sy nchronous generator l oses exci tation, it will tend
to act as an induction generator: it will run above normal speed, operate at reduced power and receive its excitation (VARS) from the system. The impedance seen by a relay looking in to a generator will depend on the
machine characteristics, the load flow prior to the loss of excitation, and the type of excitation failure.
Studies indicates that first zone mho function (40-1) can be set to detect severe cases of excitation failure with
a shorter time d elay, whereas the second zone (40-2) c an be set to det ect all the excitation failure cases. A
longer time delay s etting is required for t he 4 0- 2 fu nc tio n fo r se cu ri ty duri ng sta ble power system swin g c ond itions. Figure 2–7: MHO CHARACTERISTICS FOR 40-1 & 40-2 FUNCTIONS on page 2–21 shows the characteristics of this function.

1.3 PROTECTION FEATURES1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1.3.5 ANTI-MOTORING (32)
1
On a total or partial loss of prime mover, if the power generated is less than no-load losses of the machine, real
power will start flowing into the generator. Typical motoring power of different kinds of prime movers are shown
in the table below. For a specific application, the minimum motoring power of the generator should be obtained
from the supplier of the unit.
The DGP system includes a reverse power function with adjustable time-delay. Either one or two (32-1 & 32-2)
independent setpoints are incorporated depending on the model number.

TYPE OF PRIME
MOVERS
Gas Turbine10 to 100
Diesel15 to 25
Hydraulic Turbine2 to 100
Steam Turbine 0.5 to 4
The 32-1 can be configured as a part of sequential tripping logic as shown in Figure 1–3: SIMPLE LOGIC DIAGRAM – 87G, 32, 27, 59, AND AE on page 1–12. If the sequential trip logic is used, 32-1 is enabled when closing of turbine inlet v alves is indicated by digital in put DI2 following a turbine trip . The trip sequence is then
continued when timer TL1 times out. The 32-2, if included, is not dependent on the DI2 and is primarily
intended to provide bac k up t o th e s equ ent ial trip . If the sequential trip is no t en abl ed, the 32-1 can be used as
anti-motoring similar to 32-2.
A system must be protected against prolonged generator contribution to a fault. The DGP incorporates a timeovercurrent functio n with vo ltage re straint (51V ) to provi de part of the syst em backu p protecti on. As s hown in
Figure 1–4: SIMPLE LOGIC DIAGRAM – 46, 40, AND 51V on page 1–13, this function is supervised by a fault
detector and VTFF. The VTFF supervision can be by an internal an d/or external (DI6) VTFF fun ction. See Section 2.3.7: OVERCURRENT WITH VOLTAGE RESTRAINT (51V) on page 2–22 for the characteristic curves of
the 51V . Note that a separate algorithm is processed for each phase, with the restraint provided by corresponding phase voltage. The restraint is proportional to the magnitude of the voltage and is independent of the phase
angle. A linear reset characteristic is incorporated for this function.

1.3.6 TIME OVERCURRENT WITH VOLTAGE RESTRAINT 51V
1.3.7 ST ATOR GROUND (64G/27TN)
This function consists of two overlapping zones (64G1 and 64G2/27TN) to detect stator ground faults in a highimpedance-grounded generator system. The 64G1 is standard in all DGP models; however, the 64G2/27TN
function is provided in some models only. Together, the two zones cover 100% of the stator windings. See Figure 1–5: SIMPLE LOGIC DIAGRAM – 64G1, 64G2, 51GN, AND 24 on page 1–14.
Normally the generator-stato r neutral has a potential cl ose to ground. With the occurren ce of a stator ground
fault, a potential increase will occur on the neutral for all faults except those near the neutral. 64G1 uses a fundamental-frequency neutral overvoltage to cover about 95% of th e stator winding, depending on the pic kup
voltage setting. Alternately, 64G1 can be used as a generator-bus ground detector in a high-impedance
grounded or an ungrounded system. For this application, the VN input must be a zero-sequence voltage
derived from the generator bus, and functions 64G2/27TN must be disabled.

1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION1.3 PROTECTION FEATURES
64G2 is based on the perc entage of third-harmonic vo ltage at the generator neutral (VN 3) compared to the
total third-harmonic vol tage gener ated. This func tion is design ed to cover 15 % of the neutral end o f the stator
windings, and is supervised by fundamental and third-harmonic voltage thresholds. These thresholds are fixed
at 30 and 0.5 volts respectively. The third-harmonic comparator method eliminates the need to know the generator harmonic characteristic to use or set this function.
proper operation of 64G2
27TN is the third- harmonic neutral u ndervoltage functio n with a forward power supervision and can be used
with either wye or delta connected VTs. The percentage of stator windings covered by this function depends on
its threshold setting as well as the VN3 generated b y the machine at the time of th e fault. The magnitude of
VN3 under normal condi tions is a function of several factors, su ch as type of generator, load current, load
power factor, system status, etc. It can be very small (nearly zero) under some conditions. T o enhance security
during low VN3 vo lta ge conditions, this f unc tio n can b e i nhi bi ted by a se tt able window of forward power. However, it should be noted that other condi tions influenci ng the VN3 vol tage may make 2 7TN insecu re. In these
cases, function 64G 2 (available in some models; see the DGP nomenclature guide) or some other means
should be considered.
Digital input DI1 can be co nfigured to bloc k 64G2/27T N when the gener ator is off-line. Thi s provision is made
to enhance security of the functions under conditions such as static start of a gas turbine generator. Temporary
ungrounding of generator neutral during the static start can look like a ground fault near the neutral.
.
Note that wye-connected VTs are required for
1.3.8 GROUND OVERCURRENT (51GN)
1
51GN is an inverse overcurrent function available in some models. It can be used to detect stator ground faults
in a high or low resist ance grounded generator sy stem. See Fig ure 1–5: SIM PLE LOGIC DIA GRAM – 64G1,
64G2, 51GN, AND 24 on pa ge 1–14 for simplified logic diagram and Figure 2 –16: 51GN TIME-CURRENT
CHARACTERISTICS on page 2–39 for the inverse time-current characteristics.
This function uses current INR which can be derived by residual connection or by using a generator neutral CT
as noted in F igures 1–9: ELEMENTARY DIAGRAM WITH TE ST BLOCKS, WYE VTs and 1–12: ELEMENTARY DIAGRAM WITHOUT TEST BLOCKS, DELTA VTs.
Since this function is independen t of the phase current inputs , it can alterna tely be connect ed to a CT in the
neutral of the generator step-up transformer.
1.3.9 OVEREXCITATION (24)
Overexcitation can b e caus ed by reg ulator failure , load r eject ion, or an exce ssiv e excit ation wh en the ge nerator is off-line. It can also resul t from decr easing spee d while the regulator o r an operator a ttempts to m aintain
rated stator voltage. The Volts/Hertz quantity is proportional to magnetic flux in the generator and step-up
transformer cores, and is use d to detect the overexcitation condition. Se e Figure 1–5: SIMPLE LOGIC DIAGRAM – 64G1, 64G2, 51GN, AND 24 for details.
The overexcitation protection includes trip (24T) and alarm (24A) functions. 24T consists of an inverse function
and an instantaneous fu nction with time-delay characteris tics. The combination of these two char acteristics
allows the 24T setting to cl osely follow the generator and/or ste p-up transformer V/Hz limit curve. Bo th 24A
and 24T are computed for each of the three phase voltages (see Table 2–3: 24A VOLTAGES on page 2–30).
Function 24T can be c onfigu red to operate d ifferent ou tput re lays for gene rator on -lin e and o ff-line condi tions.
This function incorpora tes a user-settable li near reset character istic to mimic machi ne cooling. The figu res in
Section 2.3.12: OVEREXCITATION TRIP (VOLTS/HERTZ: 24T) show the characteristics of this function.

1.3 PROTECTION FEATURES1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1.3.10 OVERVOLTAGE (59)
1
This function consists of a positive-sequence overvoltage with an user selectable inverse or definite time characteristic. See Figure 1–3: S IMPLE LOGIC DIAGRAM – 87G, 32, 27, 59, AND AE on page 1–12 fo r the logic
diagram and Figure 2–15: 59 TIME-VOLTAGE CHARACTERISTICS on page 2–35 for the inverse time-voltage
characteristics. A l inear reset charact eristic is incorp orated for this function. The overvoltage functi on can be
considered as a backup to the Volts/Hz function. Some possible causes of this cond ition are a system dis turbance or regulator failure.
1.3.11 UNDERVOLTAGE (27)
This function consists of a positive-sequence undervoltage with an user selectable inverse or definite time
characteristic. See Figur e 1–3: SIMPLE LOGIC DIAG RAM – 87G, 32, 27, 59, AND AE on p age 1–12 for the
logic diagram and Figu re 2–17: 27 TIME -VOLTAGE CHARACTER ISTICS on pa ge 2–40 for the inv erse timevoltage characteristics. A linear reset characteristic is incorporated for this function.
1.3.12 OVER AND UNDERFREQUENCY (81)
This function provides over and underfrequency protection, each with an adj ustable time delay. Two or four
over and underfrequency ste ps are provided dep ending on the model. Al l frequency functi ons are supervise d
by an adjustable positive-sequence voltage level. This undervoltage cut-off level and/or digital input DI1 can be
used to block the freq uency functions during sta rt-up. Fr equency dis turbance c an occur due to a system fault
or islanding of the unit or an unconnected unit can operate at abnormal frequency due to malfunction of speed
control. Figure 1 –6: SIMPLE LOGIC DIA GRAM – 81-O A ND 81-U on page 1 –15 show s the l ogic diag ram for
this function.
1.3.13 VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER FUSE FAILURE (VTFF)
Functions 40 and 51V may operate for a full or partial loss of AC potential caused by one or more blown fuses.
The DGP makes provisions to block tripping by these functions when a fuse failure is detected; all other protection functions are a llowe d to t rip. Fig ure 1–7: SIMP LE L OGIC DIA GRAM – VT F USE FAILURE on pag e 1–1 6
shows the logic diagram for the VTFF function.
If AC potential is lost on one or more phas es, the negative-seque nce voltage (V2) rise s and/or the positivesequence voltage ( V1) drops. Either V2 > 15V or V1 < 50V provides a basic ind ication o f the VTFF c ondition .
This signal is supervi sed by a Distur bance Dete ctor (DD) and gene rator posit ive-se quence cu rrent (I1) dete ctor (see three-inp ut AND gate on the log ic diagram). Supervision by the DD and I1 signa ls provide security
against false ope ration du ring fault a nd genera tor out of service conditio ns respec tively. Security is enhance d
by use of the A/0 and B/0 timers shown in the logic diagram.
Signal DD is derived from a combination of sequence current levels, change in levels, and pickup flags of various protection functions as shown in the logic diagram.
The VTFF logic allows integration of an external VTFF contact. Either of the two fuse-failure signals or both
signals can be configured to block tripping of functions 40 and 51V.
Detection of VTFF energizes the 74FF (Fuse Failure alarm) relay, de-energizes the 74CR (critical alarm) relay,
and turns the status LED red, even though all protection functions except 40 and 51V are unaffected.

1.3.14 ACCIDENTAL ENERGIZATION (AE)
The DGP includes logic to detect accidental energization of the gener ator (see Figure 1–3: SIMPLE LOGIC
DIAGRAM – 87G, 3 2, 27, 59, AND AE on page 1–12). When a generator is energized while at standstill or
reduced speed, it behaves and acc elerates as an induction mot or. The machine terminal voltage and current
during such an event will be a function of generator, transformer, and system impedances.
An instantaneous over cu rren t si gna l (50) is used to det ect t he acci de ntal ener g izati on. T his s ig nal is arm ed by
a logic signal de rived from positive- sequence voltage and GEN O FF LINE input DI1. These two "arming " signals can be confi gured in AND or O R mode by Se tting 2703:
after the generator is taken out of service. The logic automatically disarms itself during a normal start-up
sequence when the voltage detector picks up and/or the generator is on-line.
For the AE logic to perform, special precautions must be taken to ensure that the DGP system and associated
trip circuits remain in service when the generator is out of service. Additionally, the generator off-line input, DI1,
must be reliable. It should also be noted that the pickup flag of function 51V is used as signal 50; therefore this
logic will automatically be disabled if function 51V is disabled.

1.4 OTHER FEATURES1.4.1 INPUTS
The DGP system takes eight current and four voltage inputs (refer to Section 1.5: ELEMENTARY DIAGRAMS).
The input currents in terminals BH1, BH3, and BH5 (I
, IBS, and ICS) are used to process functions 46, 40, 32,
AS
and 51V. As noted in the elementary diagrams, these currents can be derived from system side or neutral side
CTs as de sired. Either the sy stem or n eutral s ide CTs can be used fo r these functi ons if the Stator D ifferential
(87G) function is enabled.
The current input s I
and INR are derived from th e resid ual connec tions of t he respe ctive phas e CTs and do
NS
not require dedicated neutral CTs. Zero-sequence current at system and/or neutral side of the generator stator
windings is calculated and then compared with the measured I
and/or INR values by the DGP as a part of the
NS
background self-test.

icated neutral CT can be used for the input I

A time synchronizin g signal can be connected to the DGP for syn chronization to within 1 ms of a referenc e
clock. Either IRIG-B or GE's G-NET system signal can be used. This signal is required only if it is necessary to
synchronize the DGP to an external reference clock.
Six digital inputs can be connected to the DGP. Two of these inputs (DI3 and DI4) are a ssigned for possi ble
routing of external trip/alarm signals to take advantage of the output configuration or sequence-of-events capability. Generator off-line (DI1), turbine inlet-valve-close indication (DI2), and external VTFF (DI6) inputs are
used for various relay logic functions. A contact input, (DI5), can also be used to trigger the optional oscillography feature. In some models, the DI6 input can be configured as external VTFF or DISABLE ALL PROTECTION (refer to Section 1.5: ELEMENTARY DIAGRAMS for details).

The digital input circuits are universally rated for nominal control voltages of 48 to 250 V DC.
1.4.2 OUTPUT RELAYS
The DGP system includes ei ght user-configur able output relays. Four of these relays (94G, 94G1, 94G2 and
94G3) are high speed (4 ms) trip-duty rated with two form A contacts each. The remaining four (74A, 74B, 74C
and 74D) are standard speed (8 ms) with one form C contact each, intended for alarms. Each of the protection
functions can be configured to operate any number of these output relays. The trip outputs are intended for, but
not limited to, the following purposes:
•94G: trip a lockout relay to shut down the machine
•94G1: trip field breaker
•94G2: trip main generator breaker or breakers
•94G3: operate a lockout relay to trip turbine.
In addition to the configu rable output relays, fi ve pre-defined alarm duty relays with one form C c ontact each
are included. These alar m relays inc lude critical and non-cri tical self- test alarms ( 74CR and 74NC) , the VTFF
alarm (74FF), and loss of power-supply alarms (PS1 and PS2). The form C contact of each of the alarm relays,
except PS1 and PS2, are wired out to the terminal block. A hard wire jumper is used to select either the form A
or the form B conta ct of each of the PS1 and P S2 relays, as shown in Figure 3–3: DGP POWER S UPPLY
MODULE on page 3–4.
All alarm relays, wi th the exc eption of 74CR, PS1 a nd PS2, are e nergized wh en the appr opriate al arm conditions exist. Relays 74CR, PS1 and PS2, however, are energized under no rmal conditions and will dro p out
when the alarm conditions exist.

1.4.3 START-UP SELF-TESTS
The most comprehens ive testing of the DGP is perform ed during powe r-up. Since the DG P is not perform ing
any protection activities at that time, tests (such as RA M tests) that would norm ally be disruptive to ru n-time
processing are per formed during the start-up. Al l processors p articipate in th e start-up sel f-test process. T he
processors commun ic ate th eir results to each other so that any failures foun d c an be r epo rt ed to t he us er an d
to ensure each processor successfully completes its assigned self-tests before the DGP system begins protection activity.
During power-up, the micr oprocessors perfor m start-up self-test s on their associated ha rdware (PROM, local
RAM, shared RAM, interrup t controller, timer chip, serial and parallel I/O ports, non-volatile memory, analog
and digital I/O circuitry, MMI hardware, etc.). In addition, the DGP system verifies that the PROM version numbers in all processor boards are compatible. The components tested at start-up are listed in Table 6–1: ST ARTUP SELF-TESTS on page 6–2.
In most cases, if any critical self-test failure is detected, the DGP will not continue its start-up but will not cause
a reset. An attempt will be made to store the sy stem status, to initi alize the MMI and remote communications
hardware/software for communication status, and to print a diagnostic message. The critical alarm relay will be
de-energized.
If no failures are detected, the DGP completes initialization of its hardware and software. Next, each processor
board (DAP and S SP) will enable the outputs. As a f inal step, the DG P checks the res ults of all the te sts to
determine whether to turn the front panel status LED to green.
The start-up procedure takes approximately one minute. As soon as the SSP successfully completes its
PROM test and in itializ es the disp lay h ardwa re, th e mes sage
system initialization is completed, the display is blanked and the relay begins acquiring and processing data.
Each of the processors has "idle time" when the system is in a quies cent state; that is, when the DGP is not
performing fault or po st-fa ult proc essi ng. During this i dle tim e, each proce ssor pe rforms backg round self-tes ts
that are non-disruptive to the foreground proc essing. If any back ground self-tes t fails, the test is repeat ed. To
declare a component FAILED , the test must fail three consec utive times. In the case of criti cal failures, the
DGP forces a self reset to resume operation again after an intermittent failure. The reset activities are identical
to the start-up activities except that not all start-up self-tests are performed.
A reset is not reported to the user by the DGP system. If the reset is successful, no message is printed, no failure status is recorded, an d the critical alarm is not generated. However, during the reset proc edure, the red
LED on the MMI panel will light and a failure code ma y appear on the MM I displa y. If the reset is not successful, the processor boar d will be shut down, leaving the MMI panel displaying the error information. Ref er to
Section 6.4: ERROR CO DES on page 6–7 fo r error codes. To prevent continual resets in the ca se of a solid
failure, both hardware and software will permit only four resets in a one hour period. On the fifth reset, the DGP
will not perform initialization, but will attempt to initialize MMI, communications, and the critical alarm output, as
in the case of a start-up with a critical self-test failure.
