E. Setting instructions
The value of 'RF -Setting' for alarm must always be higher than
r
that of 'RF -Setting' for tripping. Both alarm and tripping stages
r
have their own timers. Typical delays used for the rotor ground
fault protection are in the range of seconds.
Recommended resistances:

Setting procedure:
How accurately Rfr is measured depends on the values entered
for REr and C. Therefore check the settings and correct them if
necessary by connecting resistors between 100 W and 10 k W
between the rotor and ground while the generator is not running.
The protection function provides a convenient way of setting
these two parameters in the software by switching its mode us-
ing the input 'AdjRErInp' or 'AdjCoupCInp'. In this mode, the set-
tings of the parameters 'REr' and 'C' are calculated with the aid
of simulated ground fault resistances.
Determination of REr
· Apply a logical '1' to the binary input 'AdjRErInp'.
· Short-circuit the coupling capacitors.
· Simulate a ground fault Rf by connecting a resistor to the
