Abstract
An internal fault in the armature winding of a synchronous generator occurs due to the breakdown of the winding insulation. In this paper a method for simulating internal faults in synchronous generators, using direct phase q uantities, is described. Simulation results showing the fault currents, dur ing a single phase to ground fault and a two phase to ground fault, are pre sented.
