Question: A ( 1 5 0 mathrm { MVA } , 1 1 mathrm { kV } , 3 ) phase, 5

A \(150\mathrm{MVA},11\mathrm{kV},3\) phase, 50 Hz alternator is protected by a current differential protection system. Synchronous reactance of the alternator winding is \(40\%\) per phase. The protective relay is set to operate when the out of balance current exceeds \(15\%\) of the full load current. Neutral of the alternator is grounded with a resistance of \(2\Omega \). If a ground fault occurs in 'B' phase winding at \(10\%\) from the neutral end, will the relay operate? Justify your answer. If the relay does not operate, suggest a suitable grounding resistance to make the relay operate.
Neglect the resistance of the alternator winding.
