SLG fault on 20 MVA generator
Short answer
Assuming Z0=j0.10 pu and solid grounding, fault current I_f = 3/(Z1+Z2+Z0) = 5 pu = 4.18 kA. Line-to-line voltages during fault: Vab = Vca = 8.29 kV, Vbc = 16.10 kV.
A single line to ground fault occur at generator terminal of 20 MVA, 13.8 KV and having Z1 = j0.20 pu, Z2 = j0.3 pu. Find the fault current and line to line voltage under fault condition.
Data: 20 MVA, 13.8 kV, pu, pu. The zero-sequence impedance is not given; assume pu (typical value for such a generator, about half of ) and a solidly grounded neutral. Unloaded, pu.
Base current: A; base phase voltage kV.
Fault current (phase a to ground)
Sequence networks in series:
Sequence voltages
Phase voltages
Line-to-line voltages
Answer (with pu): pu kA; kV, kV.
General form for any : pu, so with the data given the fault current is pu. rises above the rated 13.8 kV because .
