GUID-5A3F67BD-7D48-4734-948C-01DAF9470EF8 v2
A relay type used for generator subsynchronous resonance overcurrent protection shall
be replaced. The relay had inverse time operating characteristic as given with the
following formula:
01 op
s
K
t T
I
= +
EQUATION13000029 V1 EN-US
(Equation 104)
Where:
• t
op
is the operating time of the relay
• T
01
is fixed time delay (setting)
• K is a constant (setting)
• I
S
is measured subsynchronous current in primary amperes
The existing relay was applied on a large 50Hz turbo generator which had shaft
mechanical resonance frequency at 18.5Hz. The relay settings were T
01
= 0.64
seconds, K= 35566 Amperes and minimal subsynchronous current trip level was set at
I

=300 Amperes primary.
Solution:
First the IED configuration shall be arranged as shown in Figure 102 . Then the settings
for SMAI HPAC filter and multipurpose function shall be derived from existing relay
settings in the following way:
The subsynchronous current frequency is calculated as follows:

In order to properly extract the weak subsynchronous signal in presence of the
dominating 50Hz signal the SMAI HPAC filter shall be set as given in the following
