L-G, L-L and L-L-G faults at bus q
Short answer
At bus q, Z1=j0.1403, Z2=j0.1509, Z0=j0.15 pu. L-G: Ia=6.8∠-90° pu, Ib=Ic=0. L-L: Ib=5.95∠180°, Ic=5.95∠0° pu. L-L-G: Ib=6.96∠149.9°, Ic=6.96∠30.1° pu, ground current 6.98 pu.
Calculate the fault currents in each phase for the system shown in figure below if (i) L-G (ii) L-L (iii) L-L-G fault occurs at (q) bus. Neglect the fault impedances. Data for equipments are (in p.u.): G1: Xd'' = j0.16, X2 = j0.17, X0 = j0.06 (printed as X1); G2: Xd'' = j0.2, X2 = j0.22, X0 = j0.15 (printed as X1); T1: X1 = X2 = X0 = j0.1; T2: X1 = X2 = X0 = j0.1; Line: X1 = X2 = j0.11, X0 = j0.33. [Figure: G1 (Y grounded, E = 1∠0°) - bus p - T1 (Δ/Y grounded) - line - T2 (Y grounded/Δ) - bus q - G2 (Y grounded)]
Assumptions: pu, no pre-fault load, all values on a common base, . The values printed as "X1" are the zero-sequence reactances ().
Sequence networks seen from bus q
Positive (negative similar, no emf):
E1-j0.16-(p)-T1 j0.1-line j0.11-T2 j0.1-(q)-j0.2-E2

F
Zero:
T1 delta on p side, T2 delta on q side
-> line + transformers form a path that does not
reach q. q --j0.15-- ref (G2 solidly grounded)
(i) L-G fault (phase a)
(ii) L-L fault (phases b, c)
(iii) L-L-G fault (phases b, c to ground)
Summary
| Fault | (pu) | (pu) | (pu) | Ground current (pu) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| L-G | 6.800∠−90° | 0 | 0 | 6.800 |
| L-L | 0 | 5.949∠180° | 5.949∠0° | 0 |
| L-L-G | 0 | 6.960∠149.9° | 6.960∠30.1° | 6.980 |
The L-G current is high because only G2's small (0.15) is in the zero-sequence path.
