Why reverse power relay is used?

Answer Posted / pundlik wanwe

Generator is normally feeds power to the infinte grid which
is having a number of generators connected.
If by some reson turbine gets tripped but if GCB not get
opened in that case there will be a reverse flow of power
from grid to stator wdg and the generator will behave as a
induction motor. In this case there will be a heating of
rotor end ring and and outer wedges of the same which will
in turn damage the rotor winding. To avoid this reverse
power flow is resricted by tripping the generator on
reverse power flow.

i have a 4 Mva transformer 34.5 kv / 480-277 v and i used 2 parallel 3200 amp bus duct for the secondary feeder using 3 ply of bus bar ( 3/8" x 5" ) as a common where the flexible link terminated and 6300 amps breaker for the main, the lower bus duct reaches 70 degrees and the upper bus duct reaches 55 degrees when i used thermal scanner. why the temperature is not balance when the load reaches 3600 amps.
