Abstract :
Generator protective systems are sometimes very complex incorporating many different equipment groups. The inherent dependability parameters such as reliability, availability, maintainability and security of such complex systems are a concern of the protection engineer and present a significant analytical problem. This paper describes the use of fault tree analysis as a method for analyzing the dependability parameters of generator stator phase fault protection system and shows the advantages of a backup protection system.
