TUTORIAL-1
1. For the radial network shown in below fig., a three-phase fault occurs at F. Determine the fault current and the line voltage at 11
kV bus under fault conditions.
2. A 25 MVA, 11 kV generator with Xd ≤ = 20% is connected through a transformer, line and a transformer to a bus that supplies
three identical motors as shown in Fig. 9.8. Each motor has Xd ≤ = 25% and Xd = 30% on a base of 5 MVA, 6.6 kV. The three-
phase rating of the step-up transformer is 25 ¢ MVA, 11/66 kV with a leakage reactance of 10% and that of the step-down
transformer is 25 MVA, 66/6.6 kV with a leakage reactance of 10%. The bus voltage at the motors is 6.6 kV when a three-phase
fault occurs at the point F. For the specified fault, calculate
(a) the sub transient current in the fault,
(b) the sub transient current in the breaker B
(c) the momentary current in breaker B
(d) the current to be interrupted by breaker B in five cycles
3. A synchronous generator and a synchronous motor each rated 25 MVA, 11 kV having 15% sub transient reactance are connected
through transformers and a line as shown in Fig. 9.12(a). The transformers are rated 25 MVA, 11/66 kV and 66/11 kV with leakage
reactance of 10% each. The line has a reactance of 10% on a base of 25 MVA, 66 kV. The motor is drawing 15 MW at 0.8 power
factor leading and a terminal voltage of 10.6 kV when a symmetrical three-phase fault occurs at the motor terminals. Find
the sub transient current?
4. Three 6.6 kV generators A, B and C, each of 10% leakage reactance and MVA ratings 40, 50 and 25, respectively are
interconnected electrically, as shown in Fig. 9.15, by a tie bar through current limiting reactors, each of 12% reactance based
upon the rating of the machine to which it is connected. A three-phase feeder is supplied from the bus bar of generator A at a line
voltage of 6.6 kV. The feeder has a resistance of 0.06 W/phase and an inductive reactance of 0.12 W/phase. Estimate the maximum
MVA that can be fed into a symmetrical short circuit at the far end of the feeder.
5. Consider the four-bus system of Fig. 9.17. Buses 1 and 2 are generator buses and 3 and 4 are load buses. The generators are rated
11 kV, 100 MVA, with transient reactance of 10% each. Both the transformers are 11/110 kV, 100 MVA with a leakage reactance
of 5%. The reactance of the lines to a base of 100 MVA, 110 kV are indicated on the figure. Obtain the short circuit solution for
a three-phase solid fault on bus 4 (load bus).
6. To illustrate the algorithm discussed above, we shall recompute the short circuit solution for Example 5 which was solved earlier
using the network reduction technique.
7. Consider the network of Fig. 9.23(a) with three buses one of which is a reference. Evaluate ZBUS.
8. For the three-bus network shown in build ZBUS.
9. For the power system shown in Fig. 9.29 the pu reactance are shown therein. For a solid three-phase fault on bus 3, calculate the
following (a) Fault current (b) V f 1 and V f 2 (c) I f 12, I f 13 and I f 23 (d) I f G–1, and I f G2 Assume prefault voltage to be 1
pu.
10. A delta connected balanced resistive load is connected across an unbalanced three-phase supply as shown in Fig. 10.3. With
currents in lines A and B specified, find the symmetrical components of line currents. Also find the symmetrical components of
delta currents. Do you notice any relationship between symmetrical components of line and delta currents? Comment.
