what happen if rotor earth fault in AVR system?

Answer Posted / a.p.nanjappa

Nothing happen. DC ground fault alarm persists. Generator
works as usaual.a single dc earth fault will not damage the
device.Just annouces there is weak insulation, trouble
shoot it. rotor is a dc circuit.
Do you mean DC circuit earth fault in avr
caabinet,slipring.
AVR means automatic voltage regulation -i.e when generator
voltage is high or low ,it corrects the filed current and
correct the voltage.
Now if there is a rotor earth fault, the AVR maintains the
voltage but there is current leaking. rotor fault should be
conveys through the air gap or oil film to ground. It is
detected by by a separat rotor earth fault detector known
as singlerotor earth fault. This single rotor must become
double rotor earth fault .Then there is circulating current
flowing and completes grund circuit , till the double earth
fault relay annuciate and isolate the generator.

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.

how does the terminal voltage of transmission lines increase when a capacitor is connected???? This happens not only in transmission lines but also in all circuits. How??? When a capacitor is connected in a transmission line, capacitor also takes energy from the same supply. But how is it able to increase the terminal voltage??? Practically What sequence of events happen during increase in voltage???
