    The sub transient period occurs immediately after a short circuit and lasts 2-3 cycles, where current is determined by sub transient reactance. Sub transient reactance is about half the leakage reactance, so with a leakage reactance of 0.2 per unit, sub transient reactance would be 0.1 per unit, causing a fault current of 10 times the normal rating. After sub transient period is the transient period, where current is determined by transient reactance, which is the same as leakage reactance. With a transient reactance of 0.2 per unit, the fault current would be 5 times the normal rating. Finally, steady state current flows when armature reaction occurs and current settles to a value determined by synchronous

    Sub transient reactance

    The period immediately after a short circuit on the generator and lasting upto 2-3 cycles, is
    called sub transient period. The current during this period is highest and is determined by sub
    transient reactance.

    The value of sub transient reactance is about half of the leakage reakage reactance. Considering a
    leakage reactance of 0.2 p.u., sub transient reactance can be taken as 0.1 p.u. Thus the fault
    current during sub transient period would be 10 times the normal rated current.

    Transient reactance

    After the elapse of sub transient period, we have transient period which lasts till the fault current
    settles to a low value (less than normal current).

    During transient period, fault current is determined by transient reactance which is nothing but
    leakage reactance of the generator.

    Considering a transient reactance of 0.2 p.u., the fault current during transient period would be
    five times the normal current.

    Note that during sub transient period and transient period, armature reaction is absent. Finally
    when armature reaction comes into play, current settles to a value determined by synchronous
    reactance which is normally less than the full load rated current.

    When a short circuit occurred in a machine, Subtransient current flow first and transient current
    flow after it. Subtransient current have more magnitude than transient current . After some time
    steady state current flow after transient current.
