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.

- 11.02
- 0.12
- 0.10
- 10
Correct Option: C
(SC)MVA in p.r. = | = 15 | |
100 |
Now, 15 = | ⇒ 15 = | = 1.25 | ||||
(0.1 + x)0.1 | ||||||
⇒ 1.5x + 0.15 = 0.2 + x
⇒ x = 0.10 p.u.
