    The document describes different generator station arrangements including the unit generator-transformer configuration, multiple generators with a common unit transformer, cross-compound generators, and generators connected directly to a distribution system. It also discusses factors that influence generator protection schemes such as the neutral grounding method and presence of unit auxiliary transformers.

    The different generator station arrangements described are the unit generator-transformer configuration, multiple generators with a common unit transformer, cross-compound generators, and generators connected directly to a distribution system.

    The protection scheme for a generator is influenced by the generating station arrangement, the generator neutral grounding method, and whether any unit auxiliary transformers are present.

    The protection scheme for a generator is influenced to some extent by the generating
    station arrangement.

    Unit Auxiliaries

    A generator and associated step-up transformer can be connected as a unit. One or


    two unit auxiliary transformers (UAT) may also be present.

    Note that the UAT will influence the number of restraint windings necessary for
    overall differential protection. The generator neutral grounding method and
    transformer winding configurations shown are typical for this arrangement.

    Two or more generators share a unit transformer in this arrangement. This and the

    Either of the two approaches shown is typically found with small hydroelectric or
    combustion-turbine generators. The neutral grounding method in use for the
    generators affects selective relaying for generator ground faults.

    Cross Compound Generators

    This is the most common neutral grounding method used for cross-compound
    generators. One should ground only a single HP/LP neutral, typically using a high-
    resistance grounding method.

    Generators Connected Directly to a


    Distribution System

    Reactor or
    Resistor

    This arrangement is typical for small generators connected directly to a distribution


    system. IEEE 1547-2003, “IEEE Standard for Interconnecting Distributed Resources
    with Electric Power Systems,” applies to aggregate capacity of 10 MVA or less.

    The generator neutral grounding depends on the system grounding, which may, or
    may not, be grounded effectively. There may also be special operating and
    performance requirements because of the interconnection at distribution level.
