  1. Four identical 100 MVA, 22 kV generators are operating in parallel, as shown above in two busbar sections, interconnected through a current limiting reactor of x p.u. reactance on the generatorbase. Each generator has a reactance of 0.2 p.u. The value of the reactor x to limit a symmetrical short-circuit (a-b-c) current p.u. through the circuit breaker to 1500 MVA is _________ p.u.
    1. 11.02
    2. 0.12
    3. 0.10
    4. 10
Correct Option: C

(SC)MVA in p.r. =
1500
= 15
100

Now, 15 =
1
⇒ 15 =
0.2 + x
= 1.25
(0.1 + x)0.1
(0.1 + x)0.1
(0.2 + x)

⇒ 1.5x + 0.15 = 0.2 + x
x = 0.10 p.u.
