Q1/ Two generators are interconnected by a reactor of I Ohm reactance per phase. The estimated short circuit capacity of the first generator is 200 MVA, whereas the estimated short circuit capacity of the second generator is 600 MVA, considering voltage of 11.2 kV at each generator. Calculate the fault capacity in MVA if a three phase symmetrical fault occurs at the first generator terminals. Assume 100 MVA base power.

“””this problem related to bar system analysis symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults
QI/ Two generators are interconnected by a reactor of I Ohm reactance
per phase. The estimated short circuit capacity of the first generator is
900 MVA, whereas the estimated short circuit capacity of the second
generator is 600 MVA, considering voltage of 11.2 kV at each
generator. Calculate the fault capacity in MVA if a three phase
symmetrical fault occurs at the first generator terminals. Assume 100
MVA base power.
Q2/ A 3 kV, 3 MVA alternator has a solidly earthed neutral point. Its
positive, negative and zero sequence reactances are 2.4 Ohm, 0.45 Ohm
and 0.3 Ohm, respectively. The alternator was operating on no load,
sustains a resistive fault between phase 'a' and earth of 1.2 Ohm fault
resistance. Determine the fault current in Ampere.
