This document discusses rotor earth fault protection for generators. It begins by explaining the problem of earth faults causing magnetic imbalances and high currents. It then describes the requirements for rotor earth fault protection, including detecting earth faults early. The document provides details on different methods for rotor earth fault protection using numerical relays, including injecting AC voltages at 50/60 Hz or square waves at 1-3 Hz to measure earth currents and calculate fault resistances. Diagrams and formulas are given to illustrate the operating principles and calculations. Settings, logic diagrams, and connections are discussed for implementation of numerical rotor earth fault protection.
