ABSTRACT:
It is known to detect a single breakdown of the electrical insulation separating the rotor winding from the earthed rotor body of a generator: such a failure does not lead to intense arcing, however, as there is no return path for current flowing to earth. Disclosed is a potential divider network which allows continuous monitoring of the voltages between earth and the two ends of the winding: a second breakdown can be rapidly detected since it results in a shift in both the position and magnitude of the effective resistance to earth from that associated with the first breakdown.
