All symbols carry usual meaning. Assume standard value for any missing data.
Answers should be brief and to the point. Irrelevant answer may lead to negative marking.

Q1. (a) Starting from the positive, negative and zero sequence equivalent network of a power 5
system, derive the expressions of I¯af1 , I¯af2 and I¯af0 for a double line-to-ground fault at a
bus.

(b) A generator having solidly grounded neutral and rated 50 MVA, 30 kV has positive, 5
negative and zero sequence reactances of 25, 15 and 5 percent, respectively. What
reactance must be placed in the generator neutral to limit the fault current for a bolted
double line-to-ground fault to that for a bolted three-phase fault ?

Q2. Derive the Z-bus building rule for Type-4 modification. 5
