This paper experimentally evaluates responses of ground fault protection for synchronous generators, which are grounded using frequency-selective grounding. Frequency-selective grounding is designed to provide a low impedance path (similar solid grounding) high frequency zero-sequence current components. system also provides an similar low-resistance The frequency-dependent equivalent can affect potential and current, typically used as inputs protective relays.

Frequency-selective grounding is new system that designed to act as solid-grounding high frequency currents, and low resistance-grounding currents. composed from parallel <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$R-C$</tex-math></inline-formula> circuit...
Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) flow through grounding circuits into power systems, when triggered by geomagnetic disturbances. Power transformers (with connections) are the primary path for GIC flows systems.

In this article, experimental performance assessment and comparison are presented for solid, low impedance, high frequency-selective, isolated grounding (IG) systems. The typical design of a system (for medium voltage generation, transmission, distribution systems) is based on selecting an impedance ( <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\bar{Z}_{G}$</tex-math></inline-formula> ), which used to...
