The type of protection system specifically designed to detect internal faults within a generator stator winding is differential protection. Differential protection operates on the principle of Kirchhoff's Current Law, which states that the sum of currents entering a node (or winding) must equal the sum of currents leaving the node. In a generator, current transformers (CTs) are installed at both ends of each stator winding phase. These CTs p....
