QUESTION 1 – CIRCUIT ANALYSIS
A three phase, 500 kVA load is served by a 13.2∠0 kV line. The load has a power factor of
0.85 leading. What is the line to neutral impedance of the load?
(A) 50 kW
(B) 66 kW
(C) 75 kW
(D) 100 kW
(A) 244 A
(B) 528 A
(C) 621 A
(D) 914 A
The first step is to find the current at AN. This is possible because you know both the voltage
drop and the impedance between A and N.

Since the circuit is wye configured, the phase current is equal to the line current. Then you can
use line current to find the voltage drop due to Z and Z_ph_AN. The impedances can be added
since they are in series.
131.4∠ .9°
This voltage drop is equal to the phase voltage. In order to get the line to line voltage, you need
to multiply this term by the root 3 term and account for the 30 degree phase shift.

Next use the slip to calculate the actual speed. In a practical application, the reduction in
voltage will cause the slip % to decrease as well. However, for this problem, you can assume
the slip % remains the same.

The reduction in voltage will not affect the motor speed. The motor speed is only affected by
the frequency of the power.
The fault current will be increased in (B) Phase to ground fault. In an ungrounded system the
fault current will be close to zero, since there is no return path. In a grounded system, the fault
current will travel from the phase and through the grounding system back to the source, which
will cause an increase in fault current. The other faults, phase to phase and three phase fault
will not change whether the system is grounded or not grounded.
Since the generator and transformer have the same power values, the impedances are on the
same power base and the same voltage base.

Next find the per unit current by dividing the per unit voltage by the sum of the per unit
impedances, since all the impedances are in series from the power source to the fault location.
Also since the base voltage is 13.8 KV and the actual voltage is 13.8 KV, then the per unit
voltage is 1.0.Remember you also need to add the negative sequence impedances which are
the same as the positive sequence impedances.

The MVA Method is only for a 3-phase bolted fault. As you can see below, if you use the MVA
