Zusammenfassung:	A method is provided for reducing an impact of an unbalanced short circuit event that occurs in a polyphase permanent magnet generator of a wind turbine. According to the method, an unbalanced short circuit event is detected in the generator of the wind turbine , and ,in response to detecting the unbalanced short circuit event, at least one phase of the generator is shorted at a switch -point between the generator and a converter of the wind turbine to create a balanced short circuit in the generator. By doing so , the torque response of the generator is altered to avoid high amplitude torque oscillations that would otherwise occur as a result of the unbalanced short circuit event.
