L-L fault line voltages, 25 MVA alternator
Short answer
For a bolted line-to-line fault, I_a1 = -I_a2 = E_a / j(X1+X2). Using X1=0.25 pu, X2=0.35 pu, and E_a=1 pu, sequence voltages are V_a1=V_a2=0.5833 pu, V_a0=0. Phase voltages yield V_ab = 1.75 pu and V_ca = -1.75 pu. On a 13.2 kV (line) base, V_ab = 13.34∠0° kV, V_bc = 0, V_ca = 13.34∠180° kV.
A 25 MVA, 13.2 kV alternator with solidly grounded neutral had a sub-transient reactance of 0.25 pu. The negative and zero sequence reactances are 0.35 and 0.1 pu respectively. A line to line fault occurs at the terminals of an alternator. Determine the line to line voltages under fault conditions. Neglect resistance.
For a line-to-line fault at the generator terminals, and , and for a bolted fault ; the phase voltages follow from these.
