Q1) Two generators are connected in parallel to the l.v. side of a 3-


phase delta-star transformer as shown in Fig. Q.1. Generator 1 is
rated 60,000 kVA, 11 KV. Generator 2 is rated 30,000 kVA, 11 KV.
Each generator has a subtransient reactance of 𝑥𝑑" = 25%. The
transformer is rated 90,000 kVA at 11 kV D / 66 kV Y with a
reactance of 10%. Before a fault occurred the voltage on the h.t. side
of the transformer is 63 KV. The transformer in unloaded and there Fig. Q1
is no circulating current between the generators. Find the sub-
transient current in each generator when a 3-phase short circuit
occurs on the h.t. side of the transformer.

Q2) R station with two generators feeds through transformers a transmission system operating
at 132 kV. The far end of the transmission system consisting of 200 km long double circuit line
is connected to load from bus B. If a 3-phase fault occurs at bus B, determine the total fault
current and fault current supplied by each generator. Select 75 MVA and 11 kV on LV side and
132 kV on h.v. side as base values.

Q3) Figure Q.3 shows a power system where load at bus 5 is fed by generators at bus 1 and bus
4. The generators are rated at 100 MVA; 11 kV with subtransient reactance of 25%. The
transformers are rated each at 100 MVA, 11/112 kV and have a leakage reactance of 8%. The
lines have an inductance of 1 mH/phase/km. Line L1 is 100 km long while lines L2 and L3 are
each of 50 km in length. Find the fault current and MVA for a 3-phase fault at bus 5.

Q4) A-3-phase, 25 MVA, 11 kV alternator has internal reactance of 6%. Find the external
reactance per phase to be connected in series with the alternator so that steady state short circuit
current does not exceed six times the full load current.

Q5) A 3-phase generating station has two 15,000 kVA generators connected in parallel each
with 15% reactance and a third generator of 10,000 kVA with 20% reactance is also added later
in parallel with them. Load is taken as shown from the station bus-bars through 6000 kVA, 6%
reactance transformers. Determine the maximum fault MVA which the circuit breakers have to
interrupt on (i) l.v. side and (ii) as h.v. side of the system for a symmetrical fault.

Q6) There are two generators at bus bar A each rated at 12,000 kVA, 12% reactance or another
bus B, two more generators rated at 10,000 KVA with 10% reactance are connected. The two
bus bars are connected through a reactor rated at 5000 kVA with 10% reactance. If a dead short
circuit occurs between all the phases on bus bar B, what is the short circuit MVA fed into the
fault?

Q7) A power plant has two generating units rated 3500 kVA and 5000 kVA with percentage
reactances 8% and 9% respectively. The circuit breakers have breaking capacity of 175 MVA.
It is planned to extend the system by connecting it to the grid through a transformer rated at
7500 kVA and 7% reactance. Calculate the reactance needed for a reactor to be connected in
the bus-bar section to prevent the circuit breaker from being over loaded if a short circuit occurs
on any outgoing feeder connected to it. The bus bar voltage is 3.3 kV.

Q8) There are two generating stations each which an estimated short circuit kVA of 500,000
kVA and 600,000 kVA. Power is generated at 11 kV. If these two stations are interconnected
through a reactor with a reactance of 0.4 ohm, what will be the short circuit kVA at each station?

Q9) Two generators P and Q each of 6000 kVA capacity and reactance 8.5% are connected to
a bus bar at A. A third generator R of capacity 12,000 kVA with 11 % reactance is connected
to another bus bar B. A reactor X of capacity 5000 kVA and 5% reactance is connected between
A and B. Calculate the short circuit kVA supplied by each generator when a fault occurs (a) at
A and (b) at B.
