Tutorial 12, EE 330: Power Systems

Question 1
The system shown in figure is initially on no load with generators operating at their rated
voltage with their emfs in phase. The rating of the generators and the transformers and their
respective percent reactances are marked on the diagram. All resistances are neglected. The
line impedance is j160Ω. A three-phase balanced fault occurs at the receiving end of the
transmission line. Determine the short-circuit current.

Question 2
rs e
The one-line diagram of a simple power system is shown in the figure. Each generator is
ou urc
represented by an emf behind the transient reactance. All impedances are expressed in per
unit on a common MVA base. All resistances and shunt capacitances are neglected. The
generators are operating on no load at their rated voltage with their emfs in phase. A three-
o

phase fault occurs at bus 1 through a fault impedance of Zf = j0.08 per unit.

 Question 4
The voltages in question 3 are applied on a balanced star-connected load consisting of (6+j8)
Ω/phase. The load neutral is solidly grounded. Draw the sequence networks and calculate the
sequence components of the line currents. Also, calculate the line currents.
