QUESTION 1:
In transmission lines generally zero sequence impedance is 2-2.5 times larger than positive and
negative sequence impedances.

Correct Answer: a

QUESTION 2:
System capacity = 150 MVA
Source impedance = 0.05
Fault current = 1/ 0.05 =20 p.u
Fault MVA = Fault current X System capacity = 20*150=3000

Correct Answer: c

QUESTION 3:
X1 =X2 =0.25 p.u,
X0 = 0.15 p.u,
Xn = 0.15 p.u
Vf = 1.0 p.u
Fault current If = 3*VF / (X1+X2+X0+3Xn) = 3*1/ (0.25+0.25+0.15+3*0.15) = 2.727
Correct Answer: b

QUESTION 4:
𝐼𝑅 = 12 + 𝑗24
𝐼𝑌 = 16 − 𝑗2
𝐼𝐵 = −4 − 𝑗6
Zero sequence current I0 = (1/3) *(IR + IY + IB)
= 1/3 *(12+j24+16-j2-4-j6)
= 9.61∟33.69°

QUESTION 5:
Given-
MVA rating = 30 MVA, Voltage = 13.2 kV
X1= 0.30 p.u, X2= 0.40 p.u, X0= 0.05 p.u
Let Xn be the neutral reactance added to limit short circuit current.
Then If= 3/(X1+X2+X0+ 3Xn)
Or, 10/3= 3/ (0.75+ 3Xn)
[Since most severe fault is 3 phase short circuit fault, If= Vf / X1 = 1∟0° /0.3 =10/3]
Or, Xn = 0.05 p.u.
In Ω neutral reactance will be,
Xn = 0.05*(13.2)2/30 = 0.2904 Ω
Correct Answer: a

QUESTION 6:
Without series resistance, the fault current If = 15 p.u.
If= 3/(X1+X2+X0)
Or, 15=3/ (X1+X2+X0)
Or, X1+X2+X0 =3/15 =0.2
With series resistance, new fault current will be-
Then If new= 3/(X1+X2+X0+ 3Xn)
= 3/ (0.2+ 3*0.035)
= 9.836 p.u
Correct Answer: c

QUESTION 7:
Since 3 generators of same rating are connected in parallel, so net reactance will be,

Xeq= X/(3*100) p.u.

Pre fault voltage Vf= 1∟0°
MVAbase= 15 MVA.
Fault MVA = 300 MVA
Fault current If= Vf/ Xeq = 1∟0° /( j X/300) = -j 300/X
Fault MVA= Vf * If * MVAbase
Or, 300 = 1 * (300/X) *15
Or, X=15
Correct Answer: d

For single line to ground fault at bus 4, the positive, negative

and zero sequence network is shown in the above diagram.
From the equivalent circuit,
If (0) = If (1) = If (2) = 1.684 p.u
So fault current,
IF = 3*1.684 = 5.06 p.u

Correct Answer: b

QUESTION 9:
For double line to ground fault at bus 4, the positive, negative and zero sequence network is
shown in the diagram.

Voltage at Bus 4, V4 = 0.3107 p.u

If (1) = 3.28 p.u
If (2) = -1.47 p.u
If (0) = -1.81 p.u
