A three-phase circuit breaker has a 15.5-kV rated maximum voltage, 9.0-kA rated short-circuit current, and a 2.50-rated voltage range factor. (a) Determine the symmetrical interrupting capability at 10-kV and 5-kV operating voltages. (b) Can this breaker be safely installed at a three-phase bus where the symmetrical fault current is 10 kA, the operating voltage is 13.8 k V, and the (X/R) ratio is 12?
Consider the oneline diagram of a simple power system shown in Figure 9.20. System data in per-unit on a 100-MVA base are given as follows: The neutral of each generator is grounded through a current-limiting reactor of 0.08333 per unit on a 100-MVA base. All transformer neutrals are solidly grounded. The generators are operating no-load at their rated voltages and rated frequency with their ENIFs in phase. Determine the fault current for a balanced three-phase fault at bus 3 through a fault impedance ZF=0.1 per unit on a 100-MVA base. Neglect -Y phase shifts.
Equipment ratings for the five-bus power system shown in Figure 7.15 are as follows: Generator G1:Â Â Â Â 50Â MVA,Â 12kV,Â X=0.2 per unit Generator G2: 100Â MVA, 15 kV, X=0.2 per unit Transformer T1: 50 MVA, 10 kV Y/138kVY,X=0.10 per unit Transformer T2: 100 MVA, 15 kV /138kVY,X=0.10 per unit Each 138-kV line: X1=40 A three-phase short circuit occurs at bus 5, where the prefault voltage is 15 kV. Prefault load current is neglected. (a) Draw the positive-sequence reactance diagram in unit on a 100-MVA, 15-kV base in the zone of generator G2. Determine (b) the ThĂ©venin equivalent at the fault, (c) the subtransient fault current in per unit and in kA rms, and (d) contributions to the fault from generator G2 and from transformer T2.
At the general three-phase bus shown in Figure 9.7(a) of the text, consider a simultaneous single line-to-ground fault on phase a and line-to-line fault between phases b and c, with no fault impedances. Obtain the sequence-network interconnection satisfying the current and voltage constraints.
