Interconnections among these components in the power system may be shown is a so-called one-line diagram
or single-line diagram. Single-line diagram represents all 3- of balanced system. For the purpose of
analysis, the single-line diagram of a particular power system network is represented to its equivalent
reactance or impedance diagram. A sample of a interconnected of individual power component is shown in
Figure 1.1. This represent a circuit diagram of a power network which is referred to as a single-line diagram.

Impedance diagram
In power system fault calculations it is often that a single-line diagram representing a typical power network in
3- be converted into its per phase impedance diagram. Some assumptions for converting from single-line
diagram into its equivalent impedance diagram needed to be considered.
(i) A generator can be represented by a voltage source in series with an inductive reactance. The internal
resistance of the generator is assumed to be negligible compared to the reactance.
(ii) The loads are usually inductive represented by resistance and inductance.
(iii) The transformer core is assumed to be ideal, and the transformer may be represented by a reactance
only.
(iv) The transmission line is represented by its resistance and inductance, the line-to-ground capacitance is
assumed to be negligible.
Let us consider the following on how the single-line diagram of Figure 1.2 converted into its impedance
diagram counterpart.

Per-Unit Quantities
Per unit quantities are quantities that have been normalized to a base quantity. In general,
Z actual
Z pu per-unit (p.u)
Z base
Choice of the base value Zbase is normally a rated value which is often one of the normal full-load operations of
power component in a power network.
Let us look at two of the most common per unit formula which are widely used when per unit calculations are
involved.

Example 1
Determine the per-unit values of the following single-line diagram and draw the impedance diagram.
Solution:
Chosen base: Always choose the largest rating, therefore Sbase = 100 MVA, V = 66 kV, 132 kV and 275 kV

Now, we have all the impedance values in per-unit with a common base and we can now combine all the
impedances and determine the overall impedance.
