The impedance Z

is equal to the capacitive reactance between the rotor
winding and earth (1/ωC
rot
) and the earth fault resistance (R
f
). The series resistance in
the injection circuit is eliminated. R
f
is very large in the non-faulted case and the
measured impedance, called the rotor reference impedance and can be calculated as :

The injected frequency f
inj
of the square wave, is a set value, deviating from the
fundamental frequency (50 or 60 Hz). The injected frequency can be set within the
range 75 – 250 Hz with the recommended value 113 Hz in 50 Hz systems and 137 Hz
in 60 Hz systems.
R
series
is a resistance in the REX061 unit used to protect against overvoltage to the
injection unit. Such overvoltages can occur if the unit is fed from static excitation
system.
