Subject Name: Power System Analysis and Simulation
Time: 10.30 am - 01.00 pm Total Marks: 70
Instructions:
1. Attempt all questions.
2. Make suitable assumptions wherever necessary.
3. Figures to the right indicate full marks.
Q.1 (a) Give reasons for following:
1. The analysis of unsymmetrical faults can be more easily done with the
help of symmetrical components than by a direct solution of the
unbalanced circuit.
2. A travelling wave suffers reflection when it reaches discontinuity.
3. The disruptive critical voltage is less than visual critical voltage.

ratings, generator rating, line impedance and load impedance are shown.
Draw impedance diagram. Find actual value of generator current, line
current, load current, load voltage and load power. Carry out the calculation
in p. u. neglecting phase shift in transformer.

generators rated 10,000 KVA with 10% reactance and 5000 KVA with 5%
reactance. Calculate the fault current and short circuit KVA when a 3-phase
fault occurs at the h.v. terminals of the transformers and at the load end of
the line. (See figure 2)
