Fault Analysis

In an electrical engineering system, a fault is an abnormal electric current flowing through the system, and fault analysis is the study of these faults. For instance, a short-circuit is a fault where the live wire touches the ground or neutral wire. If a circuit is interrupted by a failure of a current-carrying wire then an open circuit fault occurs. The open-circuit faults are also called series faults. One or more phases or ground may be involved in a three-phase fault or may occur only between two phases. Current flows into the earth in case of a ground fault or earth fault. For most situations, the prospective short circuit current of a fault that is predictable can be calculated. To limit the loss of service because of a failure, the protective devices can detect fault conditions and operate circuit breakers and also other devices. All phases equally can be affected in a poly-phase system which is known as symmetric electrical fault. The asymmetric fault becomes more complicated to analyze if only some phases are affected. By using methods such as symmetrical components, the power system analysis of these types of faults is often simplified. The main objective of power system protection is to design, detect, and interrupt power system faults.

Q5: A generator is connected through a transformer to a synchronous motor. Reduced to the same base, the per unit subtransient reactances of the generator and motor are 0.15 and 0.35, respectively, and the leakage reactance of the transformer is 0.1 per uint. A three-phase fault occurs at the terminals of the motor when the terminal voltage of the generator is 0.9 per uint and the output current of the generator is 1 per unit at 0.8 power factor leading. Find the subtransient current in per unit in the fault, in the generator, and in the motor. Use the terminal voltage of the generator as the reference phasor and obtain the solution (a) by using the internal voltages of the machines and (b) by using Thevenin's theorem.
