Determine the positive- and negative-sequence phase shifts for the three- phase transformers shown in Figure 3.36.
Three single-phase two-winding transformers, each rated 3kVA,220/110volts,60Hz, with a 0.10 per-unit leakage reactance, are connected as a three-phase extended autotransformer bank, as shown in Figure 3.36(c). The low-voltage winding has a 110 volt rating. (a) Draw the positive-sequence phasor diagram and show that the high-voltage winding has a 479.5 volt rating. (b) A three-phase load connected to the low-voltage terminals absorbs 6 kW at 110 volts and at 0.8 power factor lagging.

Three single-phase two-winding transformers, each rated 25MVA,34.5/13.8kV, are connected to form a three-phase bank. Balanced positive-suence voltages are applied to the high-voltage terminals, and a balanced, resistive Y load connected to the low-voltage terminals absorbs 75 MW at 13.8 kV. If one of the single-phase transformers is removed (resulting in an open connection) and the balanced load is simultaneously reduced to 43.3 MW (57.7 of the original value), determine (a) the load voltages Va,Vb, and Vc; (b) load currents Ia,Ib, and Ic; and (c) the MVA supplied by each of the remaining two transformers. Are balanced voltages still applied to the load? Is the open transformer overloaded?
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.
