Question: A 1 0 0 MVA, 1 3 . 8 kV , Y - connected, 3 phase 6 0 Hz synchronous generator is operating at the

A 100MVA, 13.8kV, Y - connected, 3phase 60Hz synchronous generator is operating at the rated voltage and no load when a 3 phase fault occurs at its terminals. Its reactance per unit to the machines own base are Xs =1.00, X'=0.25, X"=0.12 And the time constant are: T'=1.10s, T"=0.04 s. The initial DC Component in this machine averages 50% of the initial AC Componen. i. What is the AC component of current in the generator the instant after the fault. ii. What is the total current (AC + DC) in the generator right after the fault occurs. iii. What will the AC Component of the current be after 2 cycles and after 5s.
