In a certain pint in an electrical system, the available fault current is 12 pu. Determine the actual fault current using a base power of 100 MVA and a base voltage of 34.5 kV.
Added by Dennis B.
Step 1
Given: Base power (P) = 100 MVA = 100 * 10^6 VA Base voltage (V) = 34.5 kV = 34.5 * 10^3 V Plugging in the values: I = 100 * 10^6 / (34.5 * 10^3 * √3) I = 2898.55 A Show more…

A 100 MVA, 20 kV alternator has X 1 = X 2 = 0.20 pu and X 0 = 0.05 pu. The neutral of the generator is grounded through a reactor. Find the ohmic value of reactor to limit the current for a single line to ground fault equal to the current for a three-phase fault.

Corrections. A 25 MVA, 13.2 KV alternator with solidly grounded neutral has subtransient reactance of 0.025 p.u. The negative and zero sequence reactances are 0.35 and 0.1 p.u. respectively. A single line-to-ground fault occurs at the terminals of an unloaded alternator; determine the fault current and the line-to-line voltages. Neglect resistance.
