1. The bus bars of a power station are in two sections A and B separated by a reactor. Connected in section A are two 12 MVA generators of 15% reactance each and to B, 8 MVA generator of reactance 10%. The reactor is rated 8 MVA and 15% reactance. Two feeders are connected to bus bar A through transformers, each rated at 4 MVA and 5% reactance. Determine the maximum short circuit MVA with which circuit breakers on the outgoing side of the transformers have to deal.

2. A 15 MVA, 6.6 kV, wye connected generator has X1 = X2 = 20% and X0 = 10%. The neutral of the generator is grounded through a reactor of 5% reactance based on the generator rating. A double line-to-ground fault occurs at terminals b and c. What is the current in the ground?

3. Two generators rated 15 MVA, 30% reactance and 20 MVA, 50% reactance are connected to a common 12-kV bus bar. The percentage reactance of each generator is based on its own capacity. Determine the fault current if a symmetrical 3-phase fault occurs at the bus bar.
