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.
RECENT ACTIVITY

CIP-003-7 Transient Cyber Asset and Removable Media
: "Good morning NAGF members,

PRC-005 - Relay Element Testing
: "Our operations team has recently been reviewing our test documentation for PRC-005 and had an internal discussion to better understand what specific documents are required for each part of the standard. Per PRC-005-6 (for unmonitored microprocessor relays):
- Verify that settings are as specified.
- Verify operation of the relay inputs and out..."
PRC-005 - Generator Grounding Transformer & GSU Neutral CT's
: "How do you all document compliance on these CT's that are not normally energized? The statement in NERC's Supplementary Reference on "residual or neutral currents" appears to only address currents that sum to 0 under load, is there an acceptable way (simpler than saturation test and current injection) to document a CT that is never loaded?"
