Table 35: Dead machine protection (51, 27)
Features:
· Quick separation from network at accidental energization of generator (e.g. at stand-still or on turning
gear)
· Instant overcurrent measurement
· Voltage-controlled overcurrent function e.g. blocked at voltage values >0.85 U

This function does not exist in the library, it must be combined from the voltage, current and time function
Settings:
Voltage 0.01 to 2 U
N
in steps of 0.002 U

Reset delay 0 to 60 s in steps of 0.01 s
Current 0.02 to 20 I

Delay 0.02 to 60 s in steps of 0.01 s
Table 36: 100% Stator earth fault protection (64S)
Features:
· Protection of the entire stator winding, including star points, even at standstill. Works also for most of
the operating conditions.
· Also suitable when 2 earthings (groundings) are in the protection zone
· Permanent supervision of the alsostate of the insulation
· Based on the earth (ground) voltage displacement principle and calculation of the earth (ground) fault
resistance
· Alarm and tripping values are entered, resp. measured and displayed in kW
Type of earthings (groundings):
· Star point earthing with resistors (requires REX011)
· Star point earthing with grounding transformer (requires REX011-1)
· Earthing transformers on generator terminals (requires REX011-2)
Settings:
Alarm stage 100 W to 20 kW in steps of 0.1kW
Delay 0.2 s to 60 s in steps of 0.1 s
Tripping stage 100 W to 20 kW in steps of 0.1kW
Delay 0.2 s to 60 s in steps of 0.1 s

(All values are based on the starpoint side)
The actual earthing resistances R

have to be calculated in accordance with the User’s Guide:
The 100% stator earth fault protection function always requires an injection unit type REX010, an injection
transformer block type REX011 and a 95% stator earth fault protection function.
