Question
Problem 2 - A 1000 – MVA, 20 – kV, 60 – Hzthree-phase generator is connected through a 1000 –
MVA, 20 – kVA/345 – kVYtransformer to a 345 – kVcircuit breaker and a 345 – kVtransmission line.
The generator reactances are X = 0.15, Xa = 0.3, Xa = 1.4(pu) and its time constants are Ta =
0.05, Ta = 1.0, TA = 0.1(s). The transformer series reactance is 0.06pu; transformer losses and
exciting currents are neglected. A three-phase bolted fault (solid 3-phase phase short circuit) occurs
on the line side of the circuit breaker when the generator is operated at rated terminal voltage and at
no-load. The breaker interrupts the fault 3 cycles after fault inception (neglect the effect of the
transformer on generator time constants.) Determine the following
(a) The subtransient current (p.u.) through the breaker
(b) The sub-transient current (kA) through the breaker
(c) The RMS ac (symmetric) fault current (p.u.) after 3 cycles
