When there is a generator breaker, the capacitive coupling to ground differs between the
operating conditions when the generator is running with the generator breaker open
(before synchronization) and with the circuit breaker closed.
With the generator breaker open, the total capacitance is smaller compared to normal
operating conditions. This means that the neutral side third harmonic voltage is reduced
compared to the normal operating condition. Therefore, there is a need to reduce the
sensitivity of the protection. When generator breaker is open, 27/59THN desensitizes the
protection by multiplying the
Beta
setting with a set constant
CB open factor
setting.
