overvoltage protection or a residual differential protection. These protection schemes
are simple and have served well during many years. However, at best these schemes
protect only 95% of the stator winding. They leave 5% at the neutral end unprotected.
Under unfavorable conditions the blind zone may extend to 20% from the neutral.
Some dif
ferent ground fault protection solutions are shown in figure
213 and
figure 214.
