Question
A 1000-MVA 20-kV, 60-Hz three-phase generator is connected through a 1000-MVA
20-kV A/345-kV Y transformer to a 345-kV circuit breaker and a 345-kV transmission
line. The generator reactances are X" = 0.17, X, = 0.30, and X4 = 1.5 per unit, and
its time constants are T = 0.05, T, = 1.0, and TA = 0.10 s. The transformer series
reactance is 0.10 per unit; transformer losses and exciting current are neglected. A
three-phase short-circuit occurs on the line side of the circuit breaker when the gener-
ator is operated at rated terminal voltage and at no-load. The breaker interrupts the
fault 3 cycles after fault inception. Determine (a) the subtransient current through
the breaker in per-unit and in kA rms; and (b) the rms asymmetrical fault current the
breaker interrupts, assuming maximum de offset. Neglect the effect of the transformer
on the time constants.
