51s the source impedance and Zn the neural to ground impedance ofthe souree, Incase of solidly grounded source, Znis equals tozero. Same equation is used to calculate ‘he ean fault current fora distribution network. Normally, ina dseibuion system, single ‘phase and three phase fault levels at the transmission main intake substation are given. From a gansmission planning or utility proection department, we can always obtain the ‘three phase and single phase fault levels which sometimes known as Maximum ROT. More the equivalent Thevenin impedances ofthe source can be obtained. The positive and zero sequence impedances of the source can be obiained from these faut levels by using below equation Zs) =| (Base MVA)/ (Three phase ful evel) ea) From Equation (2.3), If ap 3 xine RV (Zs +22 +22), ‘Then, Equation [3x Base MVA) /(One phase ful level] —2 Zs es) ‘Where, Zs: =source postive sequence impedance Zs = source ze sequence impedance
