HT Cable used from HT Circuit Breaker to Transformer is 3 Runs , 400 Meter ,6.6KV 3 Core 400 sq.mm Aluminium Cable , Resistance of Cable
0.1230 Ω/Km and Reactance of Cable is0.0990 Ω/Km.
Total Cable Resistance(R)= (Length of Cable X Resistance of Cable) / No of Cable.
Total Cable Resistance=(0.4X0.1230) / 3
Total Cable Resistance=0.01364 Ω
Total Cable Reactance(X)= (Length of Cable X Reactance of Cable) / No of Cable.
Total Cable Reactance=(0.4X0.0990) / 5
Total Cable Reactance =0.01320 Ω
Total Cable Impedance (Zc2)=√(RXR)+(XxX)
Total Cable Impedance (Zc2)=0.01898 Ω——–(4)
U Impedance at Primary side of Transformer (Z Pu)= (Zc2 X Base KVA) / (Base KV x Base KVx1000)

Total Impedance(Z Pu)=(4) + (5)
Total Impedance(Z Pu)=0.01898+0.0026145
Total Impedance(Z Pu)=0.00261——(6)
Total Impedance up to Primary side of Transformer (Z Pu-b)= (Z Pu)+(Z Pu-a) =(6)+(3)
Total Impedance up to Primary side of Transformer (Z Pu-b)= 0.00261+0.0181
Total Impedance up to Primary side of Transformer (Z Pu-b)=0.02070 Ω.—–(7)
Fault MVA at Primary side of Transformer = Base MVA / Z Pu-b.
Fault MVA at Primary side of Transformer = 6 / 0.02070
Fault MVA at Primary side of Transformer = 290 MVA
Fault Current = Fault MVA / Base KV
Fault Current = 290 / 6.6
Fault Current at Primary side of Transformer = 44 KA
(3) Fault Level from Primary Side of Transformer to Secondary side of Transformer:
Transformer Rating is 2.5 MVA and Transformer Impedance is 6%.
% Reactance at Base KVA = (Base KVA x % impedance at Rated KVA) / Rated KVA
% Reactance at Base KVA = (2.5X6)/2.5
% Reactance at Base KVA =6%
U. Reactance of the Transformer(Z Pu) =% Reactance /100
U. Reactance of the Transformer(Z Pu)= 6/100=0.06 Ω—–(8)
Total P.U. impedance up to Transformer Secondary Winding(Z Pu-c)=(Z Pu)+(Z Pu-b)=(7)+(8)
Total P.U. impedance up to Transformer Secondary Winding(Z Pu-c)=0.06+0.02070
Total P.U. impedance up to Transformer Secondary Winding(Z Pu-c)=0.0807 Ω—–(9)
Fault MVA at Transformer Secondary Winding = Base MVA / Z Pu-c
Fault MVA at Transformer Secondary Winding = 2.5/0.0807
Fault MVA at Transformer Secondary Winding =31 MVA
Fault Current = Fault MVA / Base KV
Fault Current = 31 / (1.732×0.415)
Fault Current at Transformer Secondary Winding = 43 KA
