EE482: Power System Analysis (2) Quiz #1 Fault Calculation 2nd Semester 2014-2015 Time: 20 minutes

For the system shown in Fig. 1, consider a base MVA=1.25 MVA, then calculate:
a) The short-circuit MVA at the 11 kV bus, MVAsc.
b) The system short circuit impedance Xsc in Ohms and p.u.
c) Total system impedance in Ohms and p.u. from the source to the 1000 V bus, Xtot.
d) Three-phase fault current in Amperes at the 1000 V bus using Ohmic method, IF-1000V.
e) Verify the three-phase fault current calculation at the 1000 V bus using the p.u. method.
