Six Marks Questions
1. Derive the expression for fault current in Line-to-Line fault on an unloaded generator in terms of
symmetrical components.
2. The line-to-ground voltages on the high voltage side of a step-up transformer are 100 kV, 33 kV
and 38 kV on phases a, b and c respectively. The voltage of phase a leads that of phase b by 100°
and lags that of phase c by 176.5°. Determine analytically the symmetrical components of
voltage.
3. A 25 MVA, 13.2 kV alternators with solidly grounded neutral has a sub transient reactance of
0.25 p.u. The negative and zero sequence reactance are 0.35 and 0.1 p.u. respectively. A single
line to ground fault occurs at the terminals of an unloaded alternator; determine the fault current
and the line-to-line voltages. Neglect resistance.
4. Derive an expression for the fault current for a single line to ground fault as an un loaded
generator.
5. A 30 MVA, 13.8 kV, 3-phase alternator has a sub transient reactance of 15% and negative and
zero sequence reactances of 15% and 5% respectively. The alternator supplies two motors over a
transmission line having transformers at both ends as shown on the one-line diagram. The motors
have rated inputs of 20 MVA and 10 MVA both 12.5 kV with 20% subtransient reactance and
negative and zero sequence reactances are 20% and 5% respectively. Current limiting reactors of
2.0 ohms each are in the neutral of the alternator and the larger motor. The 3-phase transformers
are both rated 35 MVA, 13.2 Δ-115Y kV with leakage reactance of 10%. Series reactance of the
line is 80 ohms. The zero sequence reactance of the line is 200 ohms. Determine the fault current
when (i) L-G (ii) L-L, and (iii) L-L-G fault takes place at point P. Assume Vf = 120 kV.

6. Derive an expression for power in a 3-phase circuit in terms of symmetrical components.
