Summary: |
This article contains considerations to investigate a possible fault indication involving the shaft voltage or grounding current stepping up. |
Typically, shaft voltages on the generator operate in a somewhat consistent fashion and often increase or decrease in amplitude with generator output and other operating conditions. Soon after installing, you should note what normal readings are for your generator at different loads and other significant operating conditions. Knowing the difference between your generator's grounding system's readings at lowest and highest generator outputs helps you to fine tune your monitoring system's thresholds so that you are not triggering snapshots and alarms at levels that are potentially just normal periods of greater demand.
Average and/or Peak-to-Peak Grounding Current Steps Down
Grounding Current Steps Down and Shaft Voltage Steps Up
Average or Peak-to-Peak Shaft Voltages or Currents Trending Up or Down Over Time
