Improved Model of Thermal Rotor Protection Including Negative Sequence Protection

Abstract

The paper presents a new model of the thermal rotor protection 49R on synchronous generators with self-excitation with the influence of generator negative sequence protection 46I2. The purpose of the analysis is to solve the problem of simultaneous occurrence of rotor overload due to excitation current and rotor overload due to the inverse component of the stator current. The numerical protections are designed to operate independently of each other, and therefore the residual thermal capacity of the copper windings is not defined with higher precision. A mathematical model that integrates these two protections is given and described.
