what is the use of neutral displacement relay ..

Answer / loboreliance2003

The relay comprises an attracted armature element fed via a
rectifier and series resistor. It can be provided with
either a fixed
setting, or variable settings using a plug bridge. It has a
minimum
withstand of rated voltage continuously.
Operation of Neutral Voltage Displacement Relays
The zero sequence current that flows for an earth-fault on
an un-earthed network is determined by the capacitance of
the cable to earth. This flow of current leads to a rise in
the voltage of the neutral point of the incoming supply
(the star-point of either the generator or transformer). It
is this rise that is detected by a neutral voltage
displacement relay. If the network is quite small (i.e.
short cables), then the zero-sequence voltage will be
unstable. This is why an instantaneous relay is only
generally used to provide an alarm. In the event of a
fault, neutral voltage protection cannot detect the
location of a fault, so all sources of supply should be
disconnected.

Our Alternator nameplate specifies a power factor of 0.8. When the Alternator is on light load, the bus bar voltage rises to 11240 volts, whereas the standard value is 10500 volts. Is it ok to increase the power factor to 0.85 or 0.9. I am afraid because the power factor on the name plate is only 0.8 ?
