Question: For the power system given in Problem 7.12, a three-phase short circuit occurs at bus 2, where the prefault voltage is (525 mathrm{kV}). Prefault load

For the power system given in Problem 7.12, a three-phase short circuit occurs at bus 2, where the prefault voltage is \(525 \mathrm{kV}\). Prefault load current is neglected. Determine the

(a) Thévenin equivalent at the fault,

(b) subtransient fault current in per unit and in kA rms, and

(c) contributions to the fault from lines \(1-2,2-3\), and \(2-4\).

Problem 7.12

Equipment ratings for the four-bus power system shown in Figure 7.14 are as follows: 

Generator Gl: Generator G2: Generator G3: Transformer Tl: Transformer T2: Transformer T3:

A three-phase short circuit occurs at bus 1, where the prefault voltage is \(525 \mathrm{kV}\). Prefault load current is neglected. Draw the positive-sequence reactance diagram in per unit on a \(1000-\mathrm{MVA}, 20-\mathrm{kV}\) base in the zone of generator G3.
