SOLVED PROBLEMS

Problem 1

A synchronous generator and a synchronous motor each rated 20MVA, 12.66KV having 15% reactance are connected through
transformers and a line as shown in fig. the transformers are rated 20MVA,12.66/66KV and 66/12.66KV with leakage reactance of 10%
each. The line has a reactance of 8% on base of 20MVA, 66 KV. The motor is drawing 10MW at 0.8 leading power factors and a terminal
voltage 11KV when symmetrical three phase fault occurs at the motors terminals. Determine the generator and motor currents. Also
determine the fault current.
