Determine the ohmic value of the current limiting reactor per phase external to a 30 MVA, 11 kV, 50 Hz, three phase synchronous generator which can limit the current on short circuit of 5 times the full load current. The reactance of the synchronous generator is 0.05 pu.
The ratio of full load current to short circuit current = 1/5 Xsc = j/(1/5) External reactance required = j*((1/5) - 0.05)) = j*0.15 pu Full load current = (30*1000)/(√3*11) = 1574.6 A Per unit reactance = j*0.15 = (I*Xr)/V j*0.15 = (1574.6*Xb)/((11/√3)*1000)) = 0.60 ohm
Simple logic of reactance diagram is that simplified equivalent circuit of power system in which the various components of power system are represented by their reactance. The reactance diagram can be obtained from impedance diagram if all the resistive components are neglected. So, from figure each of the component is represented by its reactance.
Symmetrical breaking current: It is the rms value of a a.c component of the current in the pole at the instant of contact separation.
Asymmetrical breaking current: It is the rms value of the total current comprising the a.c and d.c components of the current in the pole at the instant of contact separation.
