    The document describes a generator connected through a circuit breaker to a bus, along with three synchronous motors also connected through circuit breakers to the same bus. It asks to calculate the symmetrical short-circuit current that must be interrupted by the breakers for faults at different points. The summary calculates: 1) The generator and motor impedances in per unit. 2) The Thevenin impedance and current using current division. 3) The current to be interrupted is 752A for breaker A and 1084A for breaker B for a fault at point P. 4) The current is 752A for breaker A and 166A for a fault at point Q. 5

    Question 4 (G10.

    14)
    A 625kV generator with X”d = 0.20 per unit is connected to a bus through a circuit
    breaker, as shown in the figure below. Connected through circuit breakers to the
    same bus are three synchronous motors rated 250hp, 2.4kV, 1.0 power factor, 90%
    efficiency, with X”d = 0.20 per unit. The motors are operating at full load, unity
    power factor, and rated voltage, with the load equally divided among the machines.
    For interrupting current, presume that transient reactance for the synchronous
    motors is 1.5 times the subtransient reactance.

    (a) Draw the impedance diagram with the impedances


    marked in per unit on a base of 625kVA, 2.4kV.

    (b) Find the symmetrical short-circuit current in


    amperes, which must be interrupted by breakers A and
    B for a three-phase fault at point P. Simplify the
    calculations by neglecting the pre-fault current.

    (c) Repeat part (b) for a three-phase fault at point Q.

    (d) Repeat part (b) for a three-phase fault at point R.
