*Answer can only contain numeric values
Test: Power Systems- 9 - Question 6

A star connected 3 phase, 12 MVA, 8 KV alternator is protected by Merz-Price circulating current principle using 1000/5 amperes current transformers. The start point of the alternator is earthed through a resistance of 10 Ω. If the minimum operating current for the relay is 1 A. Calculate the percentage of each phase of the stator winding which is unprotected against earth-faults when the machine is operating at normal voltage.


Detailed Solution for Test: Power Systems- 9 - Question 6

Let x% of the winding be unprotected.

Earth resistance, r = 10 Ω

Voltage per phase, 
Minimum fault current which will operate the relay =  
EMF induced in x% winding = 
= 46.19 x volts

Earth fault current which x% winding will cause

⇒ 4.62x = 200

⇒ x = 43.29%

Hence, 43.29% of alternator winding is left unprotected.
