The current flowing in to a balanced delta connected load through line 'a' is 10 A when the conductor of line ’b’ is open. With the current in line 'a' as reference, compute the symmetrical components of the line currents. Assume the phase sequence of ’abc’.
Symmetrical breaking current is the moment when fault occurs maximum fault current is observed and decays with respect to time. Symmetrical breaking current = RMS value of ac component of short circuit current at the instant of separation of the contacts. Symmetrical breaking capacity is less than asymmetrical breaking capacity.
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
