Question: A 1 0 0 0 - MVA 2 0 - kV , 6 0 - Hz three - phase generator is connected through a 1

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 X

its time constants are T

d
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 generator
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.
