Answer / prakash

no, it is not possible to generater 4 and 5 phases.The main
thing is symmetrical phase diffrence. In 3 phase the phase
diffrence is 120 deg. between each phase.Hence we can
generate 3 phase .We can also generate 6 phases with phase
differance 60 deg.

One of our gas turbine generator unit "1st stage rotor ground fault" alarm was occured several times. we tried to measure some voltage vulue ground fault protection relay (UNS3020a made by ABB and we measured the value of: Ground: 0.9VDC 5V: 5.8VDC 24V: 23VDC u+: 300 – 350mVAC Rf1: 17.5mVAC Rf2: 17.6mVAC The unit still running and the alarm was reset. As of 6pm yesterday and unitl now no alarm happened again. I our protection relay was defective?
