The difference between LV and MV neutral cubicles from the standard neutral grounding resistance is that the 3 phases coming from the generator are combined in the cubicle to obtain the neutral point. The purpose of this application;
- Maximizing operating continuity and safety by limiting the ground short circuit current to levels that will not damage the generator
- Detection of the fault through relays and identification of the fault duration, thanks to the current transformer in the Neutral Grounding Resistor
- Sending information to the relay with phase current transformers installed on the three phases before the neutral point
- Limiting the oscillatory and non-oscillatory transient voltage fluctuations that will occur when the fault current is cut off, thus protecting the insulation levels of the equipment in the system
- Increasing personnel safety by ensuring that the step voltage in the field is kept at reliable levels
- It is to prevent overheating and mechanical stress of all equipment exposed to fault current
Generator Lead Cubicles are;
Generator Lead Cubicles are measurement cubicles and used to control the output voltage of the generator and to regulate the voltage via the excitation transformer. It also enables the generator to quickly adapt to load changes and provide a stable output voltage. In this way, efficient and stable operation of power generators in energy production plants is ensured.
