(i)

Without obtaining the sequence impedance matrices, obtain the the sequence
components of fault current in per unit for the following faults.
a) A bolted three-phase fault at bus 1.
b) A bolted single line to ground fault at bus 1.
c) A bolted line to line fault at bus 1.

d) A bolted double line to ground fault at bus 1.

(Note: Since you are forbidden to obtain sequence impedance matrices in this part of
the exercise, you will have to rely on Thevenins equivalent impedance based on visual
inspection. (You may neglect the phase shifts!)
(Use the formulae presented in #13, 17, 21.)
(ii)

Obtain the bus impedance matrices for the sequence networks of Figure 1. Find
the fault current, the three-phase bus voltages during fault, and the line currents
in each phase for the following faults. (You may neglect the phase shifts!)
a) A bolted single line to ground fault at bus 1.
b) A bolted line to line fault at bus 1.
c) A bolted double line to ground fault at bus 1.

(Use the formulae presented in #4, 5, 13, 17, and 21 along with basic formulae
pertaining to sequence component transformations.)
