Generator Current and Voltage Asymmetry Settings

Hello All,

I am currently reviewing the protection details of a 2100kW 690V 50Hz generator. In the document handed to me, the following settings for the current and voltage asymmetry were given:

Voltage asymmetry setting: 3.0%
Current Asymmetry setting: ± 350 A

The interpretation is that the allowed voltage asymmetry of 3% is the maximum phase-to-phase voltage deviation from the norminal value. And the current asymmetry is the maximum phase current deviation from the average phase current.

<b>moderator's note:</b> not sure if that is normal value or nominal value.

Now, my question is this: Is there a rule of thumb for estimating a suitable value for the current and voltage asymmetry for protection purpose? I will appreciate your guide.

Thanks
