1 General Description
1.1 Models
The Common Impedance is a per unit impedance model including an ideal transformer. The
main usage is for branches used for network reduction. The transformer ratio is equivalent to the
nominal voltage of the connected busbars. Figure 1.1 shows the model for absolute impedance.
Figure 1.2 shows the model for p.u. impedance.

ui uj = z ij ii
uj ui = z ji ij
with
z ij = rij pu + jxij pu
z ji = rji pu + jxji pu
The corresponding impedance in ohm seems from connection side i is calculated according to:
U n2i
Z ij = (rij pu + jxij pu)
Sn
U n2j
Z ji = (rji pu + jxji pu)

For the short-circuit calculation method IEC/VDE and ANSI it is possible to use different impedances
as for the load flow calculation and the complete short-circuit method (see option: Use same
impedance as for load-flow ). Further is it possible to insert different impedances for Zij and
Zji (see option: Use equal Impedances (zij = zji) ).
The zero-sequence impedance can be inserted separately. If the option Use same Impedance
z2=z1 is enabled, when is the negative sequence impedance equal to the positive-sequence
impedance.
1.2.1 Basic Data and Load-flow, Simulation and Full Short-circuit parameter
If the option Use same impedance as for load-flow is disabled the following additional parame-
ters are used:
