b) With a neat sketch explain the pipe earthing method used in 11 kV substation (5)
14 An industry is provided power supply from utility substation through an 11kV (10)
overhead transmission line of length 2.6km. The type of conductor used for
transmission line is MINK with an equilateral spacing of 900mm and nominal
area of cross section 63.06sq.mm. The industry proposes to have a transformer
substation with a 750kVA, 11kV/0.433kV, delta-star connected transformer. The
percentage reactance of the transformer is 4% with a full load copper loss of
1.5%. The three-phase short circuit power at the utility substation is 350MVA.
The resistance of line conductor is 0.45 ohm per km. Calculate a) Initial
symmetrical short circuit current and b) peak short circuit current on the primary
side of proposed transformer.
