  1. When a line-to-ground fault occurs, the current in the phase is 100 A. The zero sequence current in this case will be _______ A
    1. 1.4996 |202.5°
    2. 149.96 |200°
    3. 149.96 |202.5°
    4. 14900 |202.5°
Correct Option: C

For a L – G fault,
Ia0 = Ia1 = Ia2 and Ia = 3 Ia1

∴ Ia0 =
Ia
=
100
= 33.3 A 212
33

Ia =(400 + j 100), Ib = (75 – j 600), Ic = (– 300 + j 500)
Ia2 = 1/3 (Ia + α² Ib + αIc)
=
1
[(400 + j100) + (75 - j 600) |240° + (-300 + j 500)|120°]
3

=
1
[400 + j100 + (75 - j 600) + (-300 + j 500)(-0.5 + j0.86)]
3

=
1
[(400 + j100) + -553.5 + j235.5 - 280 - j 508]
3

=
1
[ - 415.5 - j 172.5]
3

= 149.96 |202.5°
