    Induction generator for short-circuit current contribution

    Thank you Kirbanda, I assume that the LRC of 1720.6 A is synchronous short-circuit current. Short-circuit current of 1720.6 A divided by rated current of 380 A is 4.51 FLA, or an IG impedance of 1 / 4.51 = 0.22 per-unit. Although a typical induction motor locked rotor current is approx. 6 x FLA...

    Specifying HV/MV breakers to IEC 72271.100 using IEC 60909 prospective short-circuit current duties

    Does anybody out there in IEC land have experience in specifying MV breakers to IEC 62271.100 ? The breakers are ‘near’ to large generators. The IEC 60909.0 calculated values for Ib sym, Ib asym, i p and i dc are high. I need to determine if a 11kV, breaker with following short-circuit...

    Three phase unbalanced load flow

    A balanced 240V a.c. phase-to-phase three phase ( A-B-C ) star connected source of equal negligible positive and negative sequence impedance and no connection to earth (ground) supplies single phase 240V a.c. incandescent lamps. Each lamp is connected between 240V phase-to-phase at 5 m intervals...

    Zero Sequence Impedance of YNzn11 Transformer

    An 11kV Utility with a 10 amp neutral earth resistor supplies an 11kV bus ( M1C-Pole1 ). The 11kV bus supplies a 5 MVA, 11/66kV, YNzn11, 3 limb core transformer ( XF2-0023 ) with a positive sequence impedance voltage of 7.18%. The transformer dataplate does not include zero sequence impedance...

    Zero sequence return current share

    Waross Thank you for your helpful post. Can you please expand on your comment ‘175 Amp from the wye/delta transformer’. Is it the XFM_YNd11 transformer ? Power0020 You are correct, the current circulating in the delta of the transformer XFM_YNd11 should be 1368/sqrt(3) = 790A. Attached is the...
