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 quantities, is described. Simulation results showing the fault currents ocurring during a single phase to ground fault are presented
