 PURPOSE OF DYNAMIC TESTING OF THE
GENERATOR

To ensure the healthiness and operation/Stability of

 Generator differential protection under actual fault conditions.
 Over all differential protection under actual fault conditions.
 Generator back up impedance protection under actual fault
conditions.
 Generator earth fault protection under actual fault conditions.
 Generator differential protection while supplying through currents.
 Over all differential protection while supplying through currents.
To obtain and check the
 Short circuit characteristic of the generator
 Open circuit characteristic of the generator
To ensure the healthiness of all the CTs and its
associated circuits.

1. TA set is running at 3000 rpm.
2. Faults created at different locations (as per
the diagram)
3. Controlled excitation for controlling the fault
current.
4. Set up required for measurements while
test.

 DYNAMIC TESTING
PROCEDURE

1. Modifications Require to facilitate controlled

Excitation
2. Faults to be created in power circuit
3. Different Tests to be Carried out by feeding the
faults

4
1. Remove Excitation Transformer HV links and Extend HT Unit
Supply (6.6KV/11KV) supply to Excitation Transformer HV
side
2. Extend Excitation protection tripping to 6.6 KV/11KV) Bkr
3. Inhibit FFB closing to bypass the FF disturb proton.
4. Tier fan supply: Extend the 230V ac supply to tier fan from
station supply
5. Thyristor Fan Supply: Extend 415 V 3phase supply to
thyristor fans through FF supply
6. Bypass Generator to Turbine Tripping.

5
1. Short phase side CT for Generator Diff and
220KV for Over All Diff Protection
2. Close the Transfer Bus Isolator to Connect
Three Phase Short to GT HV Side
3. Bypass the 220KV Bus-Bar diff. Protection.
4. Bypass the tripping of 50LBB protection
5. Roll the TA set to 3000 RPM
6. Establish Generator Cooling System
7. Close the Field Breaker and go on increasing
excitation current till operation of Gen diff
protection & FB tripping. 10min
6
1. Normalize the CT circuit of Generator diff
protection
2. Close the Field Breaker and go on increasing
excitation current till operation of relay. Take the
readings.
3. Observe operation of Master trip with FB tripping.
4. Normalize the CT circuit of over all diff
Protection.
10min (20)
7
1. Close the field breaker, increase excitation
gradually up to @ 2000A Stator current.
2. Record the current flowing in each CT.
3. Record the short circuit characteristics by further
gradually increasing the excitation.
4. Make the FB OFF
5. Open the isolator to isolate three phase shorting
from point D
6. Give clearance to remove shorting from point D
7. Normalize the 220KV Bus-Bar diff. Protection.
8. Normalize the tripping of 50LBB protection 8
1. Create single phase to earth fault with the help of
Earth Rod at point B
2. Close the Field Breaker
3. Go on increasing excitation current till operation
of master trip relay 86G1/86G2 along with FB
tripping.
4. Remove the earth rod
10 min(45)

Close the field breaker, increase excitation
gradually & record the Open circuit
characteristics
15 min(60)

10
1. Trip the TA set and bring to barring.
45 min(105)
1. Normalize the excitation transformer HV
links
2. Normalize the modifications done for slow
built up in excitation.
