Figure 2 shows the circuit of a simple power system. The ratings of the generators,
transformers and the motors are as shown in the figure. The reactance of lines 1 and 2
are 40 ohms and 50 ohms respectively. Assume that system is unloaded, and the generators
are generating their rated voltage. Select the generator G₁ ratings as base values.
Choose the fault location in bus 1, bus 2, or bus 3.( Only one bus location)
And give this answer
For a symmetrical three phase fault on the bus
1.Draw the reactance diagram for the fault with all the reactances marked in per unit.
2.Determine the Thevenin's equivalent circuit which can be used to calculate the fault current.
(3) Calculate the fault current in ampere and fault power in MVA.
(4) Calculate the fault current contribution from the generator connected to the bus for fault calculation.
