The 60 mile, 115 kV line GH (Figure P12.8) is operating with the voltages at each end 30° out of phase when a three-phase fault occurs at 80% of the dis tance from bus G. This fault has 12 Ω arc resistance. The currents flowing to the fault are as shown and are in per unit at 100 MVA, 115 kV. d. Determine if the zone 1 mho unit at H set for 90% of the line GH can oper ate for this fault. Assume that the angle of the mho characteristic is 75°. e. Describe how this three-phase fault can be cleared by the line distance relays.
Synchronous Generator
In comparison to an asynchronous generator, it is a machine where the rotor speed is equal to the rotating magnetic field produced by the stator, i.e., mechanical speed is equal to the electrical speed, thus called synchronous, and not asynchronous.
Salient Pole Rotor
Salient pole rotor includes a large number of exposed poles mounted on a magnetic wheel. The construction of a bright pole is as shown in the image on the left. The proposed poles are made of metal laminations. The rotor winding is provided on these poles and is supported by pole shoes.
