FAULT LEVEL CALCULATION IN 11KV BUS BAR I. Fault level at 33 KV: Fault level at 33KV Bus Let the base MVA % Impedance of the system at source II. Fault level at 8.6MVA Transformer Transformer KVA Voltage rating Impedance of the transformer = = = 8600KVA 33KV/11KV 10% = 0.1 P.U =Z2 = = = 1000 MVA (considered) 8.6 MVA 8.6/1000 = 0.0086 P.U = Z1

III. Fault level at 10.0 MVA Generator Sub transient Reactance of the Generator Generator MVA Base MVA for generator Impedance of the Generator = 0.12X (8.6 / 10) = 0.1032 P.U = Z3 Z2 Z1 = = = 12. % (Considered) 10.0 MVA 8.6 MVA
