• The per-unit value of any quantity is defined as the ratio of the actual quantity to
an “arbitrarily” chosen value (base or reference) of the same dimensions.
physical quanity
Quantity in per unit =
base value
physical quantity
& Quantity in percent = 100
base value
• Percent system should be used with caution (due to mult. factor of 100)
• Per-unit system is preferred in power system calculations as it offers the
following advantages :
• Analysis is greatly simplified, e.g. all impedances of a given equivalent CKT can
be directly added without considering system voltages.
• Use of “3” is eliminated! The base values account for these easily.
• Manufacturers of electrical equipment usually specify the impedance in per unit
or percent of nameplate ratings.
16
• Electrical machines & transformers have widely varying internal impedances with
size & rating. However, it turns out that in the p.u. system, these impedances fall
within a fairly narrow range. Hence, if the actual impedance of a machine is not
known, its per unit value can be easily assigned!
• Circuit analyst is relieved of the worry of referring quantities to one side or other
side of transformer, especially in large networks containing many transformers of
different turns ratios.
Eliminates the possible cause of making serious calculation mistakes!
• P.U. values are more convenient in simulating machine systems on digital
computers.
Significant advantage : Per unit impedance of transformer is the same on both sides
of the transformer!
Per Unit (p.u.) Quantities in 3-phase Power System
There are 4 base values
1. Power base Sb, usually in MVA.
2. Impedance base Zb, usually in OHMS.
3. Current base Ib, usually in A.
4. Voltage base Vb, usually in kV.
17
In 3-phase systems, usually
S, P, Q are three-phase powers in MVA, MW & MVAr respectively
Voltages considered are line-to-line values
Currents considered are line values
Impedances considered are phase values of equivalent star (Y) configuration
(This means that all impedances in must be converted to equivalent Y
value in , before converting to its p.u. value)
The 4 base values (Sb, Zb, Ib & Vb) are related as follows :
Vb I b
Sb 3 MVA (1)
1000
where Vb is line-to-line base voltage in kV & Ib is the line current in AMPS.
Sb 1000
Ib (2)
3 Vb
(Vb / 3)
Next, Zb 1000 (3)
Ib
18
Vb
Note : is the phase voltage of the equivalent Y system.

Substituting (2) in (3), we get :
(Vb / 3)
Zb 1000
Sb 1000
3 V b
Vb 2
Zb (4)
Sb
• From the above, it is clear that we need to select only 2 base values, instead of all 4.
For example, if Sb & Vb are selected, then Ib & Zb can be calculated using equations
(2) & (4) respectively!
• Vb (and consequently Zb & Ib too) changes from transformer primary to secondary
as follows :
Vb (primary) No. of turns (primary)
Vb (sec ondary) No. of turns (secondary)
N1
(line to line turns ratio, a)
N2

• Per unit values of Z, R, X & I are the same on either side of the transformer, but the
actual values are not!
Per unit quantities can now be evaluated as :
Z() I(AMPS)
Zp.u. ; I p.u. ;
Z b () I b (AMPS)
V(kV) P(MW)
Vp.u. ; Pp.u.
Vb (kV) Sb (MVA)
If necessary, actual voltages/currents/ohms etc. can also be obtained as :
Actual value = Base value p.u. value
General Guidelines for Obtaining P.U. Values
Objective : To reduce the number of computations by selecting suitable values for
Vb & Sb.
• Base MVA (Sb) is the same for all parts of the system. Normally Sb in MVA is used.
• Base kV (Vb) is selected in one part of the system; for other parts base kV is
obtained according to the line-to-line voltage ratios of transformers.
20
• Base impedances will be different in different parts of the system.
• In general, the p.u. (or %) impedances of electrical equipment are specified in
terms of their own MVA & kV ratings. These values need to be converted to the
system bases selected in (1) & (2) above. This conversion is done using the
following formula :
Z
Zp.u. NEW ACTUAL
Zb NEW
ZACTUAL
Zp.u. OLD
Zb OLD
Manufacturer’s base (Equipment base)
where : Zb NEW = Base impedance selected in that part of the system where this
component is placed
(Vb NEW ) 2
= these are base values in that section
Sb NEW
(Vb OLD ) 2
& Zb OLD these are component bases/ratings
Sb OLD

Zp.u. NEW Zb OLD (Vb OLD ) 2 / Sb OLD
Zp.u. OLD Zb NEW (Vb NEW ) 2 / Sb NEW

Zp.u. NEW Zp.u. OLD b OLD b NEW (*)
Vb NEW Sb OLD
Example 1 : A component rated for 13.2 kV, 30 MVA & with Z = 0.2 p.u. (on its
own ratings) is placed in a power system portion where Vb = 13.8 kV
& Sb = 50 MVA. What is the new p.u. Z of the component?
Here, Sb NEW = 50 Sb OLD = 30
Vb NEW = 13.8 Vb OLD = 13.2
Zp.u. OLD = 0.2 Zp.u. NEW = ?
2
13.2 50
Zp.u. NEW 0.2 0.306 p.u.

• If a transformer impedance is given in p.u., then this value is based on the MVA
rating of the transformer.
Use equation in (*) above to convert this given p.u. to the new p.u. on the
system base kVA, Sb.
22
• If the Sb (base MVA) is not specified (and that is usually the case), the system
component that has the largest MVA rating is chosen to give us the base MVA.
Occasionally, a nice round number such as 100 MVA is selected as the base MVA!
Example 2 : For the power system shown below,
(i) Find appropriate voltage bases by selecting Vb = 18 kV at the
generator terminals.
(ii) Find all impedances in p.u. Use Sb = 100 MVA.

Next, assuming a power base of Sb = 100 MVA, let us find all the impedances in p.u.
