INTRODUCTION
Block diagram for planning and
operation of power system
SINGLE LINE DIAGRAM
A single line diagram is diagrammatic representation of
power system in which the components are
represented by their symbols and interconnection
between them are shown by a straight
line even though the system is three phase system.
iii. The p.u systems are ideal for the computerized analysis and simulation
of complex power system problems.
vi. The circuit laws are valid in p.u systems, and the power and voltages
equations are simplified since the factors of √3 and 3 are eliminated

Faults and Classification
• Symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults
• Symmetrical Fault: That fault on power system
which gives rise to symmetrical currents (i.e.
equal fault currents in the lines with 120 degree
displacement) I called a symmetrical fault
• Why symmetrical fault is important??
- Though rarely occurs, but most severe and
IMPOSE MORE HEAVY DUTY ON THE CIRCUIT
BREAKER
• How to limit fault current: By impedance of the
system

Steps for Symmetrical Fault Calculations
• Draw a single line diagram of the given network
including rating, voltage and % reactance of each
element
• Choose base kVA and convert all % reactance to this
base value
• Draw the reactance diagram showing one phase of
the system and the neutral . Indicate the %X on the
base kVA in diagram.
• Find the total %X of the network up to the point of
fault
• Find the full load current corresponding to the
selected base kVA and the normal system voltage at
the fault point
• Apply the formula to determine the Short Circuit
Current

Q7.1. A circuit of a 3-phase system is given- see in
Figure. The %X of each alternator is based on its
own capacity. Find the short circuit current that
will flow into a complete 3-phase short circuit at

Q7.2. A 3-phase, 20 MVA, 10 kV alternator has
internal reactance of 5% and negligible resistance.
Find the external reactance per phase to be
connected in series with the alternator so that
steady current on short circuit does not exceed 8
times the full load current.

Q7.3. A 3-phase transmission line operating at 10 kV
and having a resistance of 1Ω and reactance of 4Ω is
connected to the generating station bus bar through 5
MVA step-up transformer having a reactance of 5%.
The bus bar supplied by a 10 MVA alternator having
10% reactance. Calculate the short circuit kVA fed to
symmetrical fault between phases if it occurs
(i) At the load end of transmission line
(ii) (ii) at the high voltage terminals of the transformer

Q7.4. The plant capacity of a 3-phase generating
station consists of two 10000 kVA generators of
reactance 12% each and one 5000 kVA generator of
reactance 18%. The generators are connected to the
station bus bar from which load is taken through three
5000 kVA step up transformer each having a reactance
of 5%. Determine the maximum fault MVA which the
circuit breakers on (i) low voltage side and (ii) high
voltage side may have to deal with.
