current flows through the neutral CT and relay. However, only the difference between the secondary
currents will flow through the generator differential CTs. Since the spurious ground current is small,
there should be no effect on the accuracy of the CTs.
If the machine is solidly (or low-impedance) grounded, and protected with a neutral CT and relay
51N as shown in Figure 7.9, an instantaneous overcurrent relay is applicable. In high-impedance
grounding schemes, with the same protection, although the fault current is low and the potential
damage is reduced, a time-delay overcurrent relay is preferred since it can be set lower than an
instantaneous relay to accommodate the lower ground current and it would be set with sufficient
time delay, e.g. 5–10 cycles, to override any false ground current that could be caused by switching
or other system transients.
