2. a) A three-phase star-connected alternator with its neutral point solidly earthed is excited in such a way as to give 33kV on open circuit. Its positive, negative and zero sequence impedances are j5.0, j3.0 and j2.2 ohms/phase respectively. A resistive fault occurs between a single line and earth at the alternator terminals on phase 'a'. The resistance Rr of the fault is 0.502. Show that the fault resistance can be represented by a resistor of value 3Rf in series with the zero sequence impedances and calculate the (i) fault current and (ii) voltage of phase 'b'-earth at the fault point.
