p.u. impedance diagram: G, T1, line, T2, M

Short answer

Use 20 MVA base with base voltages 6.6 kV, 79.2 kV, 6.6 kV. Per-unit values are XG=0.15, XT1=0.2222, Zline=0.0319+j0.1913, XT2=0.2778, XM=0.5556. Draw the series impedance diagram from generator to motor with a common reference bus.

Draw the p.u. impedance diagram for the system shown below. [Figure: G (6.6 kV, 20 MVA, X = 0.15 p.u.) → T1 (11/132 kV, 25 MVA, X = 0.1 p.u.) → line 10 + j60 Ω → T2 (132/11 kV, 20 MVA, X = 0.1) → motor M (11 kV, 15 MVA, X = 0.15 p.u.).]

Choose the generator rating as base: 20 MVA, 6.6 kV in the generator circuit. (The 6.6 kV generator feeds the 11 kV winding of T1, so the transformer and motor values need voltage correction.)

Base voltages

  • Generator zone: Vb1=6.6V_{b1} = 6.6 kV
  • Line zone (T1 11/132 kV): Vb2=6.6×13211=79.2V_{b2} = 6.6\times\frac{132}{11} = 79.2 kV
  • Motor zone (T2 132/11 kV): Vb3=79.2×11132=6.6V_{b3} = 79.2\times\frac{11}{132} = 6.6 kV
Zb2=79.2220=313.63 ΩZ_{b2} = \frac{79.2^2}{20} = 313.63\ \Omega
