Example:
Calculate Fault current at each stage of following Electrical System SLD having details of.
Calculation:
Base KVA for HT side (H.T. Breaker and Transformer Primary) is 6 MVA
Base KVA for LT side (Transformer Secondary and down Stream) is 2.5 MVA
HT Cable used from HT incoming to HT Circuit Breaker is 5 Runs , 50 Meter ,6.6KV 3 Core
400 sq.mm Aluminum Cable , Resistance of Cable 0.1230 /Km and Reactance of Cable is0.0990 /Km.
U Reactance at H.T. Breaker Incoming Terminals (X Pu)= Fault Level / Base KVA
HT Cable used from HT Circuit Breaker to Transformer is 3 Runs , 400 Meter ,6.6KV 3 Core
400 sq.mmAluminium Cable , Resistance of Cable 0.1230 /Km and Reactance of Cable is0.0990 /Km.
U Impedance at Primary side of Transformer (Z Pu)= (Zc2 X Base KVA) / (Base KV x Base
KVx1000)
% Reactance at Base KVA = (Base KVA x % impedance at Rated KVA) / Rated KVA
LT Cable used from Transformer Secondary to Main LT Panel is 13 Runs , 12 Meter , 1KV, 3.5C x
400 Sq.mmAluminium Cable , Resistance of Cable 0.1230 /Km and Reactance of Cable is0.0618 /Km.
U Impedance at Main LT Panel (Z Pu)= (Zc3 X Base KVA) / (Base KV x Base KVx1000)
LT Cable used from Main LT Panel to Sub Panel is 2 Runs , 160 Meter , 1KV, 3.5C x
400 Sq.mm Aluminium Cable , Resistance of Cable 0.1230 /Km and Reactance of Cable is0.0618 /Km.
U Impedance at Sub Panel (Z Pu)= (Zc4 X Base KVA) / (Base KV x Base KVx1000)
LT Cable used from Sub Panel to Motor Control Panel is 6 Runs , 150 Meter , 1KV, 3.5C x
400 Sq.mm Aluminium Cable , Resistance of Cable 0.1230 /Km and Reactance of Cable is0.0739 /Km.
U Impedance at Motor Control Panel (Z Pu)= (Zc5 X Base KVA) / (Base KV x Base KVx1000)
