3 Sequence networks and asymmetric faults 3.1 A 3 phase, 416 V, balanced voltage supply is provided to an unbalanced star connected load over a four wire line of negligible impedance. The impedance of the three phases of the load are: Phase a Phase b Phase c 30.0 0.8 p.f. Inductive 40.0 0.6 p.f. Capacitive 40.0 unity power factor

Determine the magnitudes and phases of the sequence currents. [I0 = 2.5-41.6o, I1 = 5.330o, I2 = 3.21-105.4o ] 3.2 Two 3 phase, 5 MVA having sequence impedances Z0 = j0.4, Z1 = j1 and Z2 = j0.8 supply 6.6 kV busbars. One generator has its star point earthed through a 1 resistor, the other neutral is isolated. If a solid earthed fault occurs on one line of the busbars, find the fault current and the line-to-earth voltage during the fault. [ 3.49 kA, 3.2-j1.39; 5.49 kV -5.18 -j1.18; 6.86 kV -5.0+j4.71 ] 3.3 A 3 phase star connected generator supplies, over a 4 wire transmission line, a balanced resistance load of 10 MW at 11 kV. The generator sequence impedances are The transmission line sequence impedances are Z0 = j1, Z1=j3, Z2 = j2 Z0 = Z1= Z2 = j2

One line becomes disconnected at the load. Determine the voltage across the break and the currents in the sound lines. [ 6.2 kV, 6.192-j0.457 kV; 0.44 kA, -0.344+j0.274 kA; 0.15 kA, 0.115+j0.096 kA ] 3.4 A solidly earthed 3 phase, star connected, 500 MVA generator Ga supplies two identical 132 kV transmission lines L1 and L2 in parallel by a step up transformer Ta. The other ends of the transmission lines are supplied by another 500 MVA generator Gb and transformer unit Tb. If generator Gb is unearthed, calculate the earth fault current that will flow if a double line to earth fault occurs at the secondary terminals of the transformer Ta. The per unit reactances with respect to the base values fo 500 MVA and 132 kV line are as follows

A 3 phase star connected generator with an eathed star point is connected to a three phase transmission line. Two of the three lines fault simultaneously to earth. The generator is 11 kV, 50 MVA and has sequence impedances Z0 = j0.1, Z1 = j0.2 and Z2 = j0.15. The transmission line sequence impedances are each j0.2. The receiving end is on no load when the fault occurs. Calculate the total fault current to earth and the voltage of the remaining healthy line. [ 7.56 kA, 5.487 kV ]
