tomation OTHER ASSUMPTIONS

Transformer is connected to infinite bus

•IMS2 Product
Tap changes of Transformer are assumed to be in main position

For the Duration of Short Circuit there is no change in No. of

Circuits.(I.e a 3 phase short circuit remains a 3 phase circuit)

Transformer is a Delta/Star with solid neutral earthing
