Exercise 1
A 100 MVA, 13.9 kV, wye connected synchronous generator has a subtransient reactance X of 0.2 pu, a negative reactance X2 of 0.25 pu, a zero sequence reactance of 0.1 pu and negligible resistance. The neutral of generator is solidly grounded. Assume that the generator is initially unloaded and operating at rated voltage, and that a single line-to-ground fault occurs on phase a at the terminals of generator. Evaluate the voltages and currents in each phase during the subtransient period immediately after the fault occurs. Also, determine the line-to-line voltages at that time. Base : 100 MVA, 13.8 kV
