SEMOD143241-4 v4
Short circuit between the phases of the stator windings causes normally very large fault
currents. The short circuit generates risk of damages on insulation, windings and stator
core. The lar
ge short circuit currents cause large current forces, which can damage
other components in the power plant, such as turbine and generator-turbine shaft. The
short circuit can also initiate explosion and fire. When a short circuit occurs in a
generator there is a damage that has to be repaired. The severity and thus the repair
time are dependent on the degree of damage, which is highly dependent on the fault
