The plant capacity of a 3Ø generating station consists of two 10,000 KVA alternators of reactance 12% each and one 5,000 KVA alternator of reactance 18%. The alternators are connected to the station bus-bar from which load via a transmission line is taken through three 5,000 KVA transformers each having a reactance of 5%. Determine the maximum fault in MVA which the circuit breakers on low voltage side of the transformer may have to deal with. Let base be 10,000 KVA.
