Question
1. A 3-phase, 30 MVA, 33 kV alternator has internal reactance of 4% and negligible resistance. Find the
external reactance per phase to be connected in series with the alternator so that steady current on short-
circuit does not exceed 10 times the full load current.
[2-178 Q]
2. A 3-phase transmission line operating at 33 kV and having a resistance of 5 2 and reactance of 20 Q is
connected to the generating station through 15,000 kVA step-up transformer. Connected to the bus-bar
are two alternators, one of 10,000 kVA with 10% reactance and another of 5000 kVA with 7:5% reac-
tance. Calculate the short-circuit kVA fed to the symmetrical fault between phases if it occurs
(1) at the load end of transmission line
(ii) at the high voltage teminals of the transformer
[(1) 44,500 kVA (ii) 100,000 kVA]
3. The plant capacity of a 3-phase generating station consists of two 8 MVA generators of reactance 14-5%
each and one 4 MVA generator of reactance 9-5%. These are connected to a common bus-bar from
which loads are taken through a number of 3 MVA step-up transformers each having 4% reactance.
Determine the MVA rating of the circuit breakers on (1) L.V. side and (ií) H.V. side. Reactances given
[1) 15-24 MVA (i) 50-25 MVA]
are based on the MVA of each equipment.
4. The 33 kV bus-bar of a station are in two sections A and B separated by a reactor. Section A is fed from
four 10 MVA generators each having 20% reactance and section B is fed from the grid through 50 MVA
transformer of 10% reactance. The circuit breakers have rupturing capacity of 500 MVA. Find the
reactance of the reactor to prevent the circuit breakers being overloaded if a symmetrical short-circuit
[145 Q]
occurs on an outgoing feeder connected to it.
5. A generating station has five section bus-bar connected with a tie-bar through 7-5% reactors rated at
3000 kVA. Each generator is of 3000 kVA with 10% reactance and is connected to one section of the
bus-bar. Find the total steady input to a dead short-circuit between the lines on one of the sections of the
[(1) 55-3 MVA (ii 150 MVA]
bus-bars (1) with and (iî) without reactors.
