This functionality can be achieved by using one CVGAPC function. The following shall be done in
order to insure proper operation of the function:
1. Connect three-phase generator currents and voltages to one CVGAPC instance (for example,
GF05)
2. Set

be used for restraining. Alternatively, positive sequence voltage can be used for restraining by
selecting
4. Set base current value to the rated generator current primary amperes
5. Set base voltage value to the rated generator phase-to-phase voltage in kV
6. Enable one overcurrent step (for example, OC1)

Proper operation of the CVGAPC function made in this way can easily be verified by secondary
injection. All other settings can be left at the default values. Furthermore the other built-in
protection elements can be used for other protection and alarming purposes.

Loss of excitation protection for a generator

Example will be given how by using positive sequence directional overcurrent protection element
within a CVGAPC function, loss of excitation protection for a generator can be achieved. Let us
assume that from rated generator data the following values are calculated:
• Maximum generator capability to contentiously absorb reactive power at zero active loading
38% of the generator MVA rating
• Generator pull-out angle 84 degrees
This functionality can be achieved by using one CVGAPC function. The following shall be done in
order to insure proper operation of the function:

instance (for example, GF02)
