2. Symmetrical Faults Considering the load current
Generally, the fault currents are much larger than the load currents. Therefore, the
load current can be neglected during fault calculations.
The pre-fault voltage and the Z
TH
are used in calculating the fault current.
The fault current represents two components:
1. The Load Current
2. The Short Circuit Current
There are some cases where considering the load current is an essential factor in
fault calculations. Superposition technique is proposed for such cases to compute the
fault current.
For such case, it is necessary to compute the terminal voltage at fault location
before fault takes place. This terminal voltage is known as the pre-fault voltage.
Connecting the load to the system
causes the current to flow in the network. Voltage
drop due to system impedance cause the voltage magnitude at different buses to be
deviated from 1.0 pu.
Consider a load (synchronous Motor) connected to a synchronous generator through
a transmission line. The circuit model of the network could be represented as shown
in the Figure

During fault condition in the system, the generator as well as the load (synchronous
motor) will supply the faulted terminals with power from the energy stored in their
windings.
The Motor is drawing 40 MW at 0.8 pf. Leading with terminal
voltage of 10.95 kV.
Calculate the total current in the generator and motor during 3

If the pre-fault voltage

fault is zero.
Then, the system can be
analyzed using the reactance
circuit.
During the three-phase fault, the voltage between bus 2 and the
reference becomes zero. Therefore, the 3 phase fault at bus 2 can be
simulated by making the voltage between bus 2 and Ref. is equal to
zero during the fault condition.
