A. Source Impedance
Source Fault level at TNEB
Incoming Bus is taken as 1108 MVA (5.82kA )
Therefore Source Impedance = 1 / 1108
= 0.0009 PU
B. Transmission Line Impedance
Transmission line is 2.7km (Moose Conductor - 54 + 7 / 3.53mm)

Resistance of Moose 110kV Line = 0.0547 ohms/km

= 0.14769 ohms
Reactance of Moose 110kV Line = 0.373 ohms/km
= 1.0071 ohms
Base Impedance = ( 110 x 110 )
= 12100 ohms
Transmission line Resistance = 0.1477 / 12100
= 0.000012 PU
Transmission line Reactance = 1.0071 / 12100
= 0.000083 PU
2 2
Transmission line impedance = 0.000033 + 0.000083 )
= 0.0001 PU
C. Typical 25MVA Transformer Impedance
Transformer Rating = 25 MVA
Transformer impedance = 10 %
= 0.1 / 25
= 0.004 PU
D. Typical 12.5MVA Transformer Impedance
Transformer Rating = 12.5 MVA
Transformer impedance = 10 %
= 0.1 / 12.5
= 0.008 PU
E.Fault level at 6.6kV Bus
Fault contribution from grid through line = 1 / ( 0.0009 + 0.0001 + 0.004 + 0.004 )
and 2x25MVA Transformer = 1 / 0.009
= 111.11 MVA ( 9.7 kA )

E.Typical Fault level at 33kV Bus

Fault contribution from grid through line = 1 / ( 0.0009 + 0.0001 + 0.008 )

and 12.5MVA Transformer = 1 / 0.009
= 111.11 MVA ( 1.9 kA )

F.Fault level at 110kV Bus at Plant Side

Fault contribution from grid through line = 1 / ( 0.0001 + 0.0009 )

= 1000 MVA

Fault contribution from Transformer = 1 / ( 0.004 + 0.004 + 0.008 + 0.008)

= 41.67 MVA
Therefore total fault level at 110KV Bus = 1041.67 MVA ( 5.47 kA )
G.Fault level at 110kV Bus at TNEB SwitchYard.

Fault contribution from grid = 1108 MVA

Fault contribution from Transformers = 1 / ( 0.004 + 0.004+ 0.008 + 0.008 + 0.0001 )
and Line = 41.49 MVA

Therefore total fault level at 110KV Bus = 1108 + 41.49

= 1149.49 MVA ( 6.03 kA )
NOTE:

The Impedance of Cable from Transformer to Panel Incomer, and from Generator
to Panel Incomer has not been taken into consideration. This is a safe
assumption, as it will give a conservative estimate of Fault level.
