IncorrectThe bus impedance matrix of a 3-bus system (in pu) is
A symmetrical fault (through a fault impedance of ) occurs at bus 2. Neglecting pre-fault loading conditions, the voltage at bus 1 , during the fault is __________ pu (round off to three decimal places).
when the fault occurs at bus-2,
Voltage at bus -1, (during fault)
In the system shown below, the generator was initially supplying power to the grid. A temporary LLLG bolted fault occurs at F very close to circuit breaker 1. The circuit breakers open to isolate the line. The fault self-clears. The circuit breakers reclose and restore the line. Which one of the following diagrams best indicates the rotor accelerating and decelerating areas?
Given: A temporary LLLG bolted fault occurs at point F near to bus-bar .
Let : Reactance of Transmission lines
After fault occurs (when CB open the faulty line),
Initial operating point: on Curve 1 (under Normal conditions).
when 3-phase symmetrical fault occurs near bus-bar,
(electrical power transfer during fault)
Operating pt. moves to .
to : Duration of fault or Time taken by to clear the fault
At pt. opens and isolate the faulty line.
Due to which operating pt. moves to pt. c on curve-2.
Then, due to accelerating power, operating pt. accelerate upto pt. on curve 2 .
At some pt. D, CB again closes after rectification of fault & thus curve again moves to curve 1, operating pt. E. and can swing upto pt. F maintaining stable conditions.
for stable conditions, Accelerating Area decelerating Area
Hence, option (b) is correct.
For a two-phase network, the phase voltages and are to be expressed in terms of sequence voltages and as . The possible option(s) for matrix S is/are
In S, no row can be linearly dependent.
Also no element can be zero.
Only then and can be in terms of and .
Only the matrices in options A and D satisfy these conditions.
The two-bus power system shown in figure (i) has one alternator supplying a synchronous motor load through a - transformer. The positive, negative and zero-sequence diagrams of the system are shown in figures (ii), (iii) and (iv), respectively. All reactances in the sequence diagrams are in p.u. For a bolted line-to-line fault (fault impedance = zero) between phases ' ' and ' ' at bus 1 , neglecting all pre-fault currents, the magnitude of the fault current (from phase ' ' to ' ') in p.u. is _______ (Round off to 2 decimal places).

Fig. (iv) : Zero-sequence network
Since a L-L fault occurs at bus-1
We need Thevenin Impedance for all 3 sequence at bus-1
