Problem 6 a- Explain the reasons for applying system grounding in electric power systems. Consider the industrial plant distribution bus which is supplied by a utility source with per-ur sequence reactances as shown in Figure (4-a). Assume that all reactances are given on a 5,000-kV base, and that the plant's bus voltage is 4,160-V. b- Determine the fault current for a single line to ground fault on phase A of the bus. Assume now that an ungrounded 5,000 kVA generator is added at the distribution bus as shown in Figure (4-b). C- Determine the fault current for a single line to ground fault on phase A of the bus. Assume now that the utility transformer is grounded through a 8 2 grounding resistor as shown in Figure (4-c.) d- Determine the value of the grounding resistor in per unit. e- Determine the fault current for a double line to ground fault on phases B and C of the bus.

Problem 6
a- Explain the reasons for applying system grounding in electric power systems.
Consider the industrial plant distribution bus which is supplied by a utility source with per-unit
sequence reactances as shown in Figure (4-a). Assume that all reactances are given on a 5,000-kVA
base, and that the plant's bus voltage is 4,160-V.
b- Determine the fault current for a single line to ground fault on phase A of the bus.
Assume now that an ungrounded 5,000 kVA generator is added at the distribution bus as shown in
Figure (4-b).
c- Determine the fault current for a single line to ground fault on phase A of the bus.
Assume now that the utility transformer is grounded through a 8 2 grounding resistor as shown in
Figure (4-c.)
d- Determine the value of the grounding resistor in per unit.
e- Determine the fault current for a double line to ground fault on phases B and C of the bus.
