    Dead machine protection is used to protect generators from damage if the circuit breaker closes while the generator is offline. If energized while offline, the generator would draw a high starting current and could be damaged. Dead machine protection consists of overcurrent and undervoltage protection. It monitors current and voltage - if current is too high or voltage too low, it will trip the circuit breaker to de-energize the generator. The protection helps prevent bearing and assembly damage that could occur if the generator was energized while offline.

    Dead Machine Protection Working Principle – 94G ANSI


    Code

    Dead machine Protection Working Principle -94G ANSI Code


    Dead machine protection is used to protect the generator or alternator from accidental circuit
    breaker closing when the machine in off condition Example in standstill position or rolling
    condition. Incase, the machine energized which means the generator circuit breaker closed
    during off condition, the machine takes high starting current. Typically, generator goes to
    motoring action. It may be few seconds, but during the off condition the generator’s thrust
    bearing oil pressure will be low or not present. Hence the bearing sleeve and bearing assembly
    may damage. Since conventional protections do not provide adequate protection when the
    generator is out-of-service, a dedicated high-speed protection is recommended by most major
    equipment manufacturers.

    Dead machine Protection Working principle:

    When current flow increases in an electrical circuit, simultaneously the voltage drop increase.
    Since when the generator acts as an induction motor, the machine starts take high inrush
    current. This causes the voltage across the generator terminal get reduced. Therefore, The
    dead machine protection consists of an over current protection + under voltage protection. The
    overcurrent protection sense the current flow through the generator winding and the under
    voltage relay detects the voltage across the generator. The under voltage relay trips the circuit
    breaker, if the voltage falls below 85% of the related voltage.

    The Dead Machine Protection initiates the trip command to the generator breaker on stage-I x
    but still the fault exits it gives the trip command to the upstream 110kV grid circuit breaker.
