Question

The following data relate to a 50 Hz generator.

e.m.f. to neutral = 7.5 kV (rms)

Reactance of generator and connected system = 5Ω 

Distributed capacitance to neutral = 0.02 µF (Resistance negligible)

Calculate the following:

(1) Maximum voltage across the contacts of circuit breaker when it breaks a short circuit current at zero current.

(2) Frequency of the transient oscillation.
