When turn-to-turn short circuit fault happens to rotor winding of the generator, the generator terminal parameters will change. According to these parameters, the conditions of the rotor winding can be reflected. However, it is hard to express the relations between fault information and generator terminal parameters in accurate mathematical formula.

In general, the information about the severity level of the generator faults can be acquired directly when the faulty samples are found in the training samples of neural network.
