Impedance and p.u. reactance diagram, 5000 VA base
Short answer
With 5 kVA base and base voltages 250 V (gen), 800 V (line), 400 V (load), the per-unit reactances are: G1 j0.5, G2 j0.75, T1 j0.25, line 0.3125+j1.1719, T2 j0.0586. Magnetizing branches are neglected.
Figure below shows a single line diagram of a power system. Draw its impedance diagram without showing their values. Also, redraw the circuit with per unit values in the reactance diagram. Take 5,000 VA base and common system base voltage of 250 V. [Figure: generators G1 (2000 VA, 250 V, Z = j0.2 p.u.) and G2 (2000 VA, 250 V, Z = j0.3 p.u.) in parallel on a common bus, feeding transformer T1 (4000 VA, 250/800 V, Z = j0.2 p.u.), then a line Z = 40 + j150 Ω, then transformer T2 (8000 VA, 1000/500 V, Z = j0.06 p.u.) supplying a load.]
(a) Impedance diagram (no values)
Each generator is shown as an EMF behind its internal impedance. Each transformer is shown as series leakage impedance with a shunt magnetising branch. The line is a series (short line), and the load is an impedance.

(b) Selecting the bases
- VA for the whole system.
- Generator section: V.
- Line section: through T1 (250/800 V), V.
- Load section: through T2 (rated 1000 V on the line side), V.
Per-unit values
Use .
Line: the base impedance is
T2 (rated 1000 V, while the base on its side is 800 V):

The magnetising branches are neglected in the reactance diagram. The load impedance is not given, so it is shown as a block. Its p.u. value would be with .
