Consider a simple power system with the following data: Nominal system voltage (Vnominal ) = 11 kV (kilovolts) Base apparent power (SBase) = 10 MVA (megavolt-amperes) Transformer reactance (Xt) = 10% Transmission line reactance (Xline) = 15% Fault impedance (Zfault) = 0.1 + j0.3 per unit (pu) Fault location: 20% down the transmission line from the source (from the source side). Calculate the following parameters for a fault at the specified location:
