Welcome to the North American Generator Forum


The North American Generator Forum (NAGF) was founded in 2009 as a vehicle for generator owners and/or operators to address issues related to registration, compliance, standards development and other NERC-related topics. In 2013, the North American Generator Forum, Inc. became a non-profit, dues-based corporation.

We provide entities who are generator owners and operators in North America a means to collaborate and communicate with FERC, NERC, the Regional Entities, the Canadian Provinces and other organizations with missions similar to ours, with the ultimate goal of improving the reliability of the bulk power system.

Said: : "We have found all regions to be understanding of the circumstance that plants being purchased remain arms-length competitors until the day of the sale, and an extensive prior review of detailed internal documentation is therefore not poss...
Said: : "I would be interested in MOD-027 testing for Nuclear Units and any lessons Learned/experiences from completed tests. (Rizwan Ahmed/Exelon Nuclear)"

Said: : "I think that a meggar (500Vdc) test alone would not be adequate. For commissioning testing, I recommend the following: a) Saturation Test b) Ratio Test c) DC resistance of the low current winding d) Insulation resistance of three items.....
Said: : "Thank you all for the input. If we elect to do commissioning tests, would NERC consider a megger test of a CT adequate? The Supplementary Reference doesn't appear to put much stock in hi-pot testing, but our people have a lot of faith in ...
Said: : "I think so - the expectation for mA measurements in the CT secondar and the confirmation of mA measurement (AC value) is adequate. It is one option which was discussed during the standard development process. A record of a correct rel...
Said: : "Jesse, We also have been struggling with this issue. We perform (CT/PT) inservice readings including metering screen shots. For the GSU neutral CT secondary we expect zero and read zero. If you experience a transmission line (phase to gro...

Said: : "Our engineers expect that 1-10 amps would arise on the primary of the neutral from imbalance on the phases. With a 1200/5 CT, this could be just a few milliamps metered by the relay, potentially indistinguishable from noise. Could this re...
Said: : "The functional/element testing of the relay (current/voltage injection) is not strictly required for the microprocessor relays for the PRC-005-6 requirements. Of course, you can use a test set to inject signals if you want and perform t...
Said: : "As your question mentions, the Supplementary Reference document does address various methods for achieving compliance with PRC-005-6 for the Instrument Transformer component type included in the scope of Protection System Equipment. (pa...
Said: : "How have you reported the facility rating for the generator? I have been using the generator nameplate data, so that is what is provided to the SPP for their models for their SOLs. However, a question has come up as to whether that rati...
Said: : "Thank you Paul."
