889 GENERATOR PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
PROTECTION
CHAPTER 4: SETPOINTS
Third Harmonic
Voltage Difference
This element responds to third harmonic voltage measured at the generator neutral and
output terminals. When used in conjunction with the neutral overvoltage (fundamental
frequency) element, it provides 100% ground fault protection of the stator windings. Since
the amount of third harmonic voltage that appears in the neutral is both load and machine
dependent, the protection method of choice is an adaptive method. The following formula
is used to create an adaptive operating quantity based on the amount of third harmonic
that appears at the generator terminals.
Where:
V
N(3rd)
is a magnitude of the the 3rd harmonic in the voltage measured at the machine
neutral point measured via an auxiliary channel of the VT bank, and V0
(3rd)
is a magnitude
of the 3rd harmonic in the zero-sequence voltage measured at the machine terminals.
NOTE
NOTE:
The setpoint Aux VT Connection (under
Setpoints > System > Voltage Sensing > Ph VT Bnk1-
J2
) must be selected as “VN” for this element
NOTE
NOTE:
This element requires wye-connected VTs for measurement of the third harmonic in the
zero-sequence voltage at the generator output terminals.

TRIP FUNCTION
Range: Disabled, Trip, Configurable
Default: Disabled
This setting enables the Third Harmonic Voltage Difference trip functionality.
TRIP PICKUP
Range: 0.005 to 0.900 in steps of 0.001
Default: 0.100
This setting specifies a pickup level for the operating quantity. It may be beneficial to
measure the operating quantity under various load conditions for a particular machine
in order to optimize this setting. This can be achieved using the actual values menu of
the 889.
TRIP PICKUP DELAY
Range: 0.00 to 600.00 s in steps of 0.01 s
Default: 0.50 s
This setting specifies a time delay for the trip function. A trip will occur once the
operating conditions remains valid for the Trip Pickup Delay time.
TRIP SUPV
Range: 0.5 to 30.0 V in steps of 0.1 V
Default: 5.0 V
This setting specifies a signal level supervision for the vectorial sum of the third
harmonic at the machine neutral and the zero-sequence terminal voltage. The safe
value of this setting can be established after putting a given machine into service and
reading the quantity from the relay under actual values menu
(Metering > Generator >
Stat Gnd 3rd Harm)
.
TRIP RELAY
Range: Do Not Operate, Operate
Default: Do Not Operate
