Figure 208: Typical example of variation of the bias voltage and differential voltage
with a change in the active generated load (the angle between the third
harmonic terminal and neutral voltage is 150°)
Calculating CB Open factor
One of the factors, though not major, governing the magnitude of the generated third
harmonic voltage is the generator terminal capacitance. If there is no generator breaker,
the capacitive coupling to ground is the same under all operating conditions. However, the
generator breaker normally exists between the protected generator and its power
transformer.
