    The document describes calculating short circuit currents using the MVA method for a power system consisting of a utility, transformers, generators, and motors. It provides the ratings and impedances of the system components and calculates the equivalent MVA and short circuit current contribution of each component. The calculations show the short circuit current progressively reducing at each downstream component until reaching 42.3 kA at the 400V bus for a 3-phase fault, and 36.6 kA for a single-phase to ground fault.

    The document discusses how to calculate short circuit currents for a power system using the MVA method. It explains how to determine the fault current contribution of different components like transformers, generators and motors.

    The document explains that the equivalent MVA is used to calculate the short circuit current for transformers, generators and motors. It shows the calculations to determine the MVAsc for each component.

    It describes that the contribution of upstream components is determined by calculating the MVAsc at each bus and adding them. The calculations are shown to find the MVAsc at different voltage levels.

    Utility: 150KV, 1000 MVAsc


    Transformer 1: 170 MVA, 150/13.8KV, 15% Z

    13.8KV Bus
    Generator: 100MVA, X"d = 0.2
    Transformer 2: 30 MVA, 13.8/6.6KV, 15% Z

    6.6KV Bus
    Transformer 3: 2MVA, 6.6KV/400V, 10% Z
    Motor 1: 10 MVA (Lumped), 20% Z
    400V Bus
    Motor 2: 1000 KVA (Lumped), 20% Z
    Motor 3: 600 KVA (Lumped), 10% Z

    In the event of a short circuit, the sources of short circuit current are
    1. Utility
    2. Generators
    3. Motors

    Static loads such as heaters and lighting do not contribute to short circuit.

    "Equivalent MVA" are:


    Transformers and Motors

    Generators

    Cables and Reactors

    So, here are the results of MVAsc:


    Utility: MVAsc = 1000MVA
    Transformer 1: MVAsc = 170 / 0.15 = 1133.33 MVA

    13.8KV Bus
    Generator: MVAsc = 100 / 0.2 = 500 MVA
    Transnformer 2: MVAsc = 30 / 0.15 = 200 MVA

    6.6KV Bus
    Transformer 3: MVAsc = 2 / 0.1 = 20 MVA
    Motor 1: MVAsc = 10 / 0.2 = 50 MVA

    400V Bus
    Motor 2: MVAsc = 1 / 0.2 = 5 MVA
    Motor 3: MVAsc = 0.6 / 0.1 = 6 MVA

    Now we calculate the upstream contribution :


    At Transformer 1:
    MVAsc @ 150KV = 1000 MVA
    MVAsc @ 13.8KV = 1/ (1 / 1000 + 1 /1133.33) = 531.25 MVA

    At Transformer 2:
    MVAsc @ 13.8KV = 531.25 + 500 = 1031.25 MVA
    MVAsc @ 6.6KV = 1/ (1 / 1031.25 + 1 / 200) = 167.51 MVA

    At Transformer 3:
    MVAsc @ 6.6KV = 167.51 + 50 = 217.51 MVA
    MVAsc @ 400V = 1/ (1 / 217.51 + 1 / 20) = 18.31 MVA

    At 400V Motors
    Motor 3: MVAsc = 18.31 x 5 / ( 5 + 6 ) = 8.3 MVA
    Motor 4: MVAsc = 18.31 x 6 / ( 5 + 6 ) = 9.98 MVA
    The fault MVAsc @bus 400V = 18.31 + 5 + 6 = 29.31MVAsc
    The three phase If = 29.31/(1.732*(0.4)) = 42.3 kA.

    Now we come to fault single phase to ground :


    For single phase faults, positive sequence, negative sequence and zero sequence
    impedances need to be calculated.
    If = 3 (I1 + I2 + I0)

    Examining the circuit in above, at the 400V Bus, on Transformer 3 contributes to the
    zero sequence current.

    For transformers, the negative sequence and zero sequence impedance are equal to the positive sequence impedance.

    Z1 = Z2 = Z0 or
    MVA1 = MVA2 = MVA0
    @bus 400V;
    1 / MVAsc =1/3 (1 / MVAsc1 + 1 / MVAsc2 + 1 / MVAsc0)
    1 / MVAsc = 1/3 (1 / 29.31 + 1 / 29.31 + 1 / 20 )

    1/ MVAsc =

    MVAsc = 1/ = 25.4 MVAsc

    If = 25.4 / (1.732 x 0.4) = 36.6 kA
