MGVCL Exam Paper (30-07-2021 Shift 2)
A generating station having 'n' section busbars each rated at Q kVA with ×% reactance is connected on the tie-bars systems through busbar reactances of b%. Determine the short circuit kVA if a 3-phase fault takes place on one section.
The capacity of reactor = 50 MVAr when it is operated at 415 kV. Impedance of reactor = V2/MVAr = (415*415)2/50 = 3444.5 Ω For 400 kV, Reactive power observed = (400*400)/3444.5 = 46.45 MVAR
Or
VAr capacity of capacitor or reactor is proportional to V²
