Question
A 500-MVA 20-kV, 60-Hz synchronous generator
with reactances X, = 0.15, X= 0.24; X=1.1
per unit and time constants T = 0.035, T, = 2.0,
T= 0.20 s is connected to a circuit breaker. The
generator is operating at 5% above rated
%3D
voltage and at no-load when a bolted three-
phase short circuit occurs on the load side of
the breaker. The breaker interrupts the fault 3
cycles after fault inception. On abase of
500MVA, 20KV.
The subtransient fault current in kA rms is:
Answer: I"= 101.0 kA
