    What is positive to negative sequence coupling and negative to positive sequence coupling ?

    When calculating voltage imbalance, what is the positive to negative sequence coupling ( Z12 ) and negative to positive sequence coupling ( Z21 ) at the point of common coupling, in relation to unbalanced voltage ? How is it determined ? The utility has only provided positive ( Z1 ) , negative...

    Induction generator for short-circuit current contribution

    Thank you Kirbanda, I assume that the LRC of 1720.6 A is synchronous short-circuit current. Short-circuit current of 1720.6 A divided by rated current of 380 A is 4.51 FLA, or an IG impedance of 1 / 4.51 = 0.22 per-unit. Although a typical induction motor locked rotor current is approx. 6 x FLA...

    Specifying HV/MV breakers to IEC 72271.100 using IEC 60909 prospective short-circuit current duties

    Does anybody out there in IEC land have experience in specifying MV breakers to IEC 62271.100 ? The breakers are ‘near’ to large generators. The IEC 60909.0 calculated values for Ib sym, Ib asym, i p and i dc are high. I need to determine if a 11kV, breaker with following short-circuit...

    Zero Sequence Impedance of YNzn11 Transformer

    An 11kV Utility with a 10 amp neutral earth resistor supplies an 11kV bus ( M1C-Pole1 ). The 11kV bus supplies a 5 MVA, 11/66kV, YNzn11, 3 limb core transformer ( XF2-0023 ) with a positive sequence impedance voltage of 7.18%. The transformer dataplate does not include zero sequence impedance...
