Murray loop test is performed on a faulty cable 300 m long. At balance, the resistance connected to the faulty core was set at 20 Ω and the resistance of the resistor connected to the sound core was 40 Ω. Calculate the distance of the fault point from the test end.
Voltage equation for Dc shunt generator, Eb = V + Ia*Ra V = Ish*Rsh Ish = 200/100 = 2 A Eb = V + Ia*Ra 20 = Ia*Ra Ia = 20/0.2 = 100 A I = 100 - 2 = 98 A
The ratio of full load current to short circuit current = 1/6 Xsc = j/(1/6) External reactance required = j*((1/6) - 0.06)) = j*0.106 pu Full load current = (40*1000)/(√3*15) = 1539.6 A Per unit reactance = j*0.106 = (I*Xr)/V j*0.15 = (1539.6*Xb)/((15/√3)*1000)) = 0.60 ohm
