circuit kVA would not exceed 6,00,000 kVA.

5 A 10 kVA, 13.8 kV turbo-generator having X 1  X 2  15% and X 0  5% is about to be

5
connected to a power system. The generator has current limiting reactor of 0.7Ω in the
neutral. Before the generator is connected to the system, its voltage is adjusted to 13.2 kV,
when a double line to ground fault develops at terminals b and c. Find fault current in each
P.T.O
