Daffodil International University
Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering
Course Name: Power System protection
Course Code: EEE-327
Time: 20 min CT-3 (SET-A) Mark: 2+6+7
1. What is meant by “protecting 85% of alternator winding” in case of the Merz-Price circulating
current scheme protection?
2. A star-connected, 3-phase, 1B-MVA, 3D kV alternator is protected by Merz-Price circulating-current
principle with an earth resistance {r} ohm which is set to operate for fault currents not less than ABC
A. Calculate the percentage of the protected stator winding against earth fault.
Here, ABCD= Last 4 digit of your student ID.
3. What is unbalance loading fault? Illustrate the operation of Modified form of Merz-Price circulating
current protection for the protection of a 3-phase alternator with necessary diagram.

1. What is function of in case of the Merz-Price circulating current scheme protection?
2. A star-connected, 3-phase, 1N-MVA, 3P kV alternator is protected by Merz-Price circulating-current
principle with an earth resistance 2.P ohm, is set to operate for fault currents which is 1N% of full
load current. Calculate the percentage of the protected stator winding against earth fault.
Here, MNOP= Last 4 digit of your student ID.
3. What is unbalance loading fault? Differentiate the protection set up for unbalance loading fault and
balance earth fault for small 3-phase alternator using necessary diagram.
