Reactance diagram: 90 MVA generator (15%), two motors
Short answer
On a 90 MVA base, generator voltage 11 kV, line base 145.2 kV, motor base 12.70 kV. Per-unit reactances: G j0.15, T1 j0.0446, line j0.4269, T2 j0.0310, M1 j0.2231, M2 j0.2789. Values found by adjusting old p.u. with ratio of bases.
A 90 MVA, 11 kV 3-phase generator has a reactance of 15%. The generator supplies two motors through transformers and transmission line shown in figure below. The transformer T1 is a 3-phase transformer, 100 MVA, 10/132 kV, 6% reactance. The transformer T2 is composed of 3 single phase units each rated at 30 MVA, 66/10 kV with 5% reactance. The connection of T1 and T2 are as shown. The motors rated at 50 MVA and 40 MVA, both 10 kV and 20% reactance. Taking the generator rating as base, draw the reactance diagram and indicate the reactance in per unit. The reactance of the line is 100 Ω. [Figure: G (Y, grounded) → T1 (Δ–Y, Y grounded) → Line → T2 (Y grounded–Δ) → bus feeding motor M1 (Y, grounded) and motor M2 (Δ).]
Choice of bases
- MVA and kV in the generator circuit.
- Line: through T1 (10/132 kV), kV.
- T2 is a Y–Δ bank of three single-phase 66/10 kV units. Its line-voltage ratio is kV / 10 kV, and its three-phase rating is MVA.
- Motor circuit: kV.
Per-unit reactances
Use .
(T2 gives the same value on its HV side: .)

The transformer winding connections (Y, Δ, earthing) do not change the positive-sequence p.u. reactances. They only introduce a phase shift, which is ignored in the reactance diagram.
