It’s not a suggestion, so if you follow it blindly for exam, you may fail there!
Dead line is 2.30 pm in March 2, 2017 (Thursday). After that time, please don’t even come

1. Prepare an Impedance diagram and a Reactance diagram from the single line diagram
shown in figure 1.
7. Make the admittance matrix, Ybus, for the following network. Given parameters are
impedance in per-unit.
8. For the previous system, if P2=80 MW and Q2=60MVar, then find P1, Q1, V2, V3 and
P3, Q3. Do the calculations for at least 3 iterations.
9. Define Slack bus, Generator bus and Load bus
10. Write down the expression for total fault current through transmission line on the
occurrence of a symmetric short circuit. From the expression derive the values of
momentary fault current through the transmission line.
11. A transmission line of inductance L = 0.8 H and resistance R = 12 Ω is suddenly short
circuited at t=0, at the far end of the line. If the voltage source is v = 400sin(140πt + 60)
obtain the following,
(i) Expression for the total short circuit current, i(t)
(ii) Instant of short circuit so that DC offset current is zero.
(iii) Instant of short circuit so that DC offset current is max.
12. For a synchronous generator, the fictitious reactance (X_a), reactance of field winding
(Xf) and damper winding Xdw are given as j3Ω, j2.4Ω and j1.5Ω. If the sub transient
reactance of this generator is j6Ω, compute leakage reactance, transient reactance and
steady state reactance
13. Two generators are connected in parallel to the low-voltage side of three-phase ∆-Y
transformer as shown in Fig. Generator 1 is rated 50,000 kVA, 13.8 kV. Generator 2 is
rated 25,000 kVA, 13.8 kV. Each generator has a subtransient reactance of 25%. The
transformer is rated 75,000 kVA, 13.8∆/69Y kV, with a reactance of 10%. Before the
fault occurs, the voltage on the high-tension side of the transformer is 66 kV. The
transformer is unloaded, and there is no circulating current between generators. Find the
subtransient current in each generator when the three-phase short-circuit occurs on the
high-tension side of the transformer.
14. In the figure 11 the motor is drawing 200MW at 0.8 power factor lagging at a terminal
voltage of 17.8kV, when a bolted three phase short circuit occurs at bus 2. Consider the
rating of generator G, as base at generator circuit for per unit calculation of the system
and find total sub-transient fault current and sub-transient generator and motor current in
per unit neglecting pre-fault current.

is considered?
