Electrical rotating machines must fulfill ever-increasing requirements of electrical power systems and at the same time optimize electrical energy production. Any malfunctions or unnecessary and unplanned outages can cause extensive material damage. The way to alleviate or even prevent such events is the implementation of various modes of rotating machine monitoring and protection systems. They can enable better asset management, prolong the lifetime of the machines and reduce costs caused by unplanned downtime and unnecessary maintenance. Through detailed processing of the measured data, the causes of occurrence of shaft currents and voltages can be identified. The main purpose of the shaft current and voltage protection (SCVP) system is to detect shaft currents and voltages that may damage the generator bearing, and thus prevent greater economic damages.
