Types of equipment required to protect 3 phase generators+transformers

AI Thread Summary
To protect 3-phase generators and transformers, several types of equipment are essential, including protective relays, circuit breakers, and surge arresters. These devices help prevent damage from overloads, short circuits, and voltage spikes. Resources such as technical articles and manufacturer catalogs provide detailed information on specific protection equipment and their applications. For further research, users are encouraged to explore links to reputable sources that discuss generator protection in depth. Understanding the right equipment is crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of electrical systems.

Hi

I have been trying to find the types of equipment required to protect 3 phase generators+transformers for a while now but I just cannot seem to find anything.

If you could help me out and give me examples of the equipment it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
