If a node in a power system operating at frequency f has a inductive source reactance XL per phase and has power factor correction with a capacitive reactance XC per phase, the source inductance L and the correction capacitance C are: L = XL3/ w C = 1 / wXC where w = 2pf The series resonance angular frequency wr of an inductance L with a capacitance C is: wr = (1 / LC) = w(XC / XL) The three phase fault level Ssc at the node for no-load phase voltage E and source impedance Z per-phase star is: Ssc = 3E2 / |Z| = 3E2 / |R + jXL| If the ratio XL / R of the source impedance Z is sufficiently large, |Z| XL so that: Ssc 3E2 / XL The reactive power rating QC of the power factor correction capacitors for a capacitive reactance XC per phase at phase voltage E is: QC = 3E2 / XC The harmonic number fr / f of the series resonance of XL with XC is: fr / f = wr / w = (XC / XL) (Ssc / QC)

Note that the ratio XL / XC which results in a harmonic number fr / f is: XL / XC = 1 / ( fr / f )2 so for fr / f to be equal to the geometric mean of the third and fifth harmonics: fr / f = 15 = 3.873 XL / XC = 1 / 15 = 0.067 NOTATION The symbol font is used for some notation and formulae. If the Greek symbols for alpha beta delta do not appear here [ a b d ] the symbol font needs to be installed for correct display of notation and formulae.
