Abstract:

Due to the unreasonable installation position, the metal cable tray is in severe electromagnetic field of the generator for long time. The electromagnetic eddy current heats the metal tray, and finally the insulation performance of the secondary cable in the metal trough box will be reduced, which leads to relay protection malfunction and unit tripping event. Conduct technical analysis on such accidents, and carry out selfchecking and rectification from the equipment design, material selection, installation, commissioning and operation. Heating fault caused by eddy currentsshould be handled properly as early as possible to avoid such faults and ensure the reliability of power supply.
