7.10 Recalculate the subtransient current through the breaker in Problem 7.6 if the genera-
tor is initially delivering rated MVA at 0.80 p.f. lagging and at rated terminal voltage
7.6 A 1000-MVA 20-kV,60-Hz three-phase generator is connected through a 1000-MVA
20-kV D/345-kV Y transformer to a 345-kV circuit breaker and a 345-kV transmission
line. The generator reactances are X00
d 0:17, X0
d 0:30, and Xd 1:5 per unit, and
its time constants are T00
d 0:05, T0
d 1:0, and TA 0:10 s. The transformer series
reactance is 0.10 per unit; transformer losses and exciting current are neglected. A
three-phase short-circuit occurs on the line side of the circuit breaker when the gener-
ator is operated at rated terminal voltage and at no-load. The breaker interrupts the
fault 3 cycles after fault inception. Determine (a) the subtransient current through
the breaker in per-unit and in kA rms; and (b) the rms asymmetrical fault current the
breaker interrupts, assuming maximum dc oset. Neglect the eect of the transformer
on the time constants
