Using the above example, determine the wire size needed for the 400-ampere service in accordance with the National electrical Code. Assume that the conductors have type THWH insulation. (Note: As a general rule, for each 100 feet of conductor length the wire size is increased one standard size because of voltage drop.)
PowerWorid Simulator case Problem 3_60 duplicates Example 3.13 except that a resistance term of 0.06 per unit has been added to the transformer and 0.05 per unit to the transmission line. Since the system is no longer lossless, a field showing the real power losses has also been added to the oneline. With the LTC tap fixed at 1.05, plot the real power losses as the phase shift angle is varied from 10 to +10 degrees. What value of phase shift minimizes the system losses?
Figure 3.39 shows a oneline diagram of a system in which the three-phase generator is rated 300 MVA, 20 kV with a subtransient reactance of 0.2 per unit and with its neutral grounded through a 0.4- reactor. The transmission line is 64km long with a cries reactance of 0.5-/km. The three-phase transformer T1 is rated 350MVA.230/20kV with a leakage reactance of 0.1 per unit. Transformer T2 is composed of three single-phase transformers, each rated 100 MVA, 127/13.2kV with a leakage reactance of 0.1 per unit. Two 13.2kV motors M1 and M2 with a subtransient reactance of 0.2 per unit for each motor represent the load. M1 has a rated input of 200 MVA with its neutral grounded through a 0.4- current-limiting reactor, M2 has a rated input of 100 MVA with its neutral not connected to ground. Neglect phase shifts associated with the transformers. Choose the generator rating as base in the generator circuit and draw the positive-sequence reactance diagram showing all reactances in per unit.
