Before you start please read the following instructions carefully.
1. This assignment forms part of the formal assessment for this module. If
you fail to reach the required standard for the assignment then you will be
allowed to resubmit but a resubmission will only be eligible for a Pass
grade, not a Merit or Distinction.
You should therefore not submit the assignment until you are reasonably
sure that you have completed it successfully. Seek your tutor's advice if
unsure.
2. Ensure that you indicate the number of the question you are answering.
3. Make a copy of your answers before submitting the assignment.
4. Complete all details on the front page of this TMA and return it with
the completed assignment including supporting calculations where
appropriate. The preferred submission is via your TUOL(E) Blackboard
account:

a fault limiting reactor.
FIG. 1
Each generator is rated at 11 kV and 30 MVA and has a reactance of
0.2 p.u.
Calculate the value of the reactance to limit the fault level on a feeder to
500 MVA.
2. FIGURE 2 shows the sectionalised busbar of a two generator power
station connected to the national grid.
Calculate, using a 40 MVA base, the fault level for a 3-phase symmetrical
short circuit on the 11 kV feeder.

CTs and an IDMT relay having a plug setting of 150% and time
multiplier setting of 0.68 (FIGURE 3).
Using the standard PSM/time characteristic, find the relay operating
time (TMS = 1) for a 236 MVA fault.
FIG. 3
(b) The circuit breakers CB1, CB2, CB3 and CB4 are part of a scheme
which uses 1000/5 CTs and IDMT relays.
If the maximum fault current capability is 6700 amps, clearance of
which must be initiated in 2.25 secs, select, using the standard
characteristic:
(i) plug setting multipliers for CB1 at plug settings of 100% and
50%
(ii) the time multiplier setting of each IDMT relay to afford
effective discrimination of 0.4 sec at a plug setting of 50%.
