For the system of Problem 9.13, compute the fault current for the following faults at bus 3: (a) a single line-to-ground fault through a fault impedance ZF=j0.1 per unit, (b) a line-to-line fault through a fault impedance ZF=j0.1 per unit, (c) a double line-to-ground fault through a common fault impedance to ground ZF=j0.1 per unit.
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.
