Impedances at multiple voltage levels
Very difficult to express in ohms and confusing.
Multiple error prone steps required to add impedances.
Calculating fault currents at different voltage levels is
much more challenging.
For this reason Per unit or Percentage system has been
developed to express impedances and other quantities in
a power system network .

The definition of any quantity(voltage, current, power,
impedance) in the per-unit system is
Per unit system
The complete characterization of a per-unit system
requires that all four base values be defined. Given the
four base values, the per-unit quantities are defined a

Per unit impedance
The per unit impedance of a circuit or item of equipment is
the voltage drop in the circuit/equipment when it is
carrying a specified current (the base current) expressed
as ratio to the phase to neutral voltage (the base current).

Base MVA
We can select any quantity (Voltage, Current, Impedance
or Power) as our common base for each section of the
system. However, it is usual practice to take 100MVA
(power) as a common base for the whole power system
network.
So,
