ONLINE ACTIVITY #5 IN FPSD52L

GENERAL DIRECTIONS: Copy and answer the following items indicated with complete solutions. Final
answers must be rounded up to three decimal places and must be enclosed in a quadrilateral. Do not attach
this questionnaire.

1.) The plant capacity of a 3 phase generating station consists of two 10,000 kVA generators of reactance
12% each and one 5000 kVA generator of reactance 18%. The generators are connected to the station
bus bars from which load is taken through three 5000 kVA step – up transformers each having a
reactance of 5%. Determine the maximum fault MVA which the circuit breakers on low voltage side and
high voltage side may have to deal with.

2.) Draw the positive, negative, and zero sequence network of the power system.

3.) A 3 phase, 11 kV, 30 MVA turbo alternator has a positive equal to negative reactance of 0.15 pu and
zero sequence reactance of 0.03 pu. Calculate the fault current for a line to line fault.

4.) A 20 MVA, 11 kV, 3 – phase, 50 Hz generator has its neutral earthed through a 5% reactor. It is in
parallel with another identical generator having isolated neutral. Each generator has a positive
sequence reactance of 20%, negative sequence reactance of 10% and zero sequence reactance of
15%. If a line to ground short circuit occurs in the common bus bar, determine the fault current.

5.) Given the power system, develop the sequence networks and determine the single line to ground,
double line to ground, line to line and symmetrical fault currents. Let Xn = 1.5 ohms. Let the KVA and
KV base at either of the generators. (40 points)
