PER UNIT QUESTIONS

1. A balanced Y connected voltage source with Eab = 480 0o Volts is applied to a

balanced load with Z = 30 40o. The line impedance between the source and
load is ZL = 1 85o for each phase. Calculate the per-unit and actual current in
phase a of the line using Sbase 3 = 10 kVA and VbaseL-L = 480V.

2. Consider a system with the one line diagram shown in Figure 2. The 3 phase
transformer name plate ratings are listed. The transformer reactances are given in
percent, 10% = 0.1 p.u. the transformer line and load impedance are in actual ohm.
The generator terminal voltage(magnitude) is 13.2 kV(line-to-line). Find the generator
current, the transmissions current, the load current, the load voltage and the power
delivered to the load.

3. Consider the same basic system as in Q2, but with these changes. The generator
voltage and load impedance are not specified. Instead, we are given the following
information. The voltage (magnitude) at the load is 63 kV ad the 3 load power is 5.0
MW at a pf of 0.9 lagging. Find the load current, the generator voltage and the
generator power.

4. Prepare a per phase schematic of the system shown in Figure 4 below and show all
impedances in pu on a 100 MVA, 132 kV base in the transmission line circuit. The
necessary data for this problem are as follow :

G1 = 50 MVA, 122.2 kV,

X = 0.15 PU

G2 = 20 MVA, 13.8 kV,

X = 0.15 PU

T1 = 80 MVA, 12.2 / 161 kV,

X = 0.10 PU

T2 = 40 MVA, 13.8 / 161 kV,

X =0.10 PU

Load = 50 MVA, 0.8 PF lagging, (operating at 154 kV)

Determine the Pu impendence of the load for the following cases:

a) Load modeled as a series combination of resistance and inductance.
b) Load modeled as a parallel combination of resistance and inductance.
