A 1000-MVA, 20-kV, 60-Hz, three-phase generator is connected through a 1000-MVA, 20-kV, Dy345-kV, Y transformer to a 345-kV circ
uit breaker and a 345-kV transmission line. The generator reactances are X0 d 5 0.17, X9 d 5 0.30, and Xd 5 1.5 per unit, and its time constants are T0 d 5 0.05, T9 d 5 1.0, and TA 5 0.10 s. The transformer series reactance is 0.10 per unit; transformer losses and exciting current are neglected. A three-phase short-circuit occurs on the line side of the circuit breaker when the generator is operated at rated terminal voltage and at no-load. The breaker interrupts the fault three cycles after fault inception. Determine (a) the subtransient current through the breaker in per-unit and in kA rms and (b) the rms asymmetrical fault current the breaker interrupts, assuming maximum dc offset. Neglect the effect of the transformer on the time constants
AnsweR Viciously comes from the adjective vicious, which originally meant "of the nature of vice, or wicked." The Latin root, vitiosus, means "faulty, defective, or corrupt."
