SINGLE-PHASE SHORT CIRCUIT CALCULATION TUTORIAL


Most large power networks are three phase, but sometimes a single-phase transformer may be connected either phase-to-phase or phase to ground to serve an isolated single-phase load. One needs to mention that single-phase transformers are commonly used in residential areas and within commercial buildings at 240/120 V, in USA or 400/230 in Europe. To provide the dual voltage in the secondary side, the transformer secondary is center-tapped and center leg grounded (some times known as Scott connection). This transformer is called single-phase mid tap transformer. Loads rated 120 V or 230 V are connected from the hot wire to the ground. Heavier loads requiring 240 V or 400 V are connected between the two hot phase (or phase-to-phase connection). However, shortcircuits can occur between the two hot phases or a hot phase to ground. This Tutorial will illustrates the EDSA single phase short-circuit program capabilities, and the instructions for creating a single-phase network and performing short circuit calculations. 1. Program capabilities: Short circuit calculation on a single phase network, tapped from a three-phase network with a line-to line or line-to ground connection to the utility bus; Single-phase network tapped from a single-phase utility source with 2-poles; Single phase network tapped from a mid tap transformer; Single-phase motor contributions; 2. Required Data For Performing A Short Circuit Study: A significant part of the preparation of Single-Phase Short-Circuit Current Calculation is represented by single-phase network modeling. This consists of getting the one-line connection diagram, getting the network component impedances and source impedances. The following data are required: Single-phase one-line connection diagram. The diagram should indicate Bus ID, bus voltages (line-to-line, and line-to-neutral), connection type, protective devices (if the user elects to model the impedance of protective devices); Transformer Input data: o Transformer short circuit impedance % Z and X / R ratio, or % R and % X , or R and X in per unit; o Primary voltage line-to-line and line-to-neutral; o Secondary voltage line-to-line and line-to-neutral; o Transformer KVA. Cable Input Data: o Cable size and type; o Cable length; o Cable R and X per unit length, or in per unit; o Duct type; Motor Input Data: o Motor ratings ( Amps or KVA, or HP, and %Efficiency and %Power Factor); o Motor line-to-neutral rated voltage; o % subtransient reactance (equals to Motor Full Load Current divided by Motor Locked Rotor current times 100) and X/r ratio, or R and X in per unit; o number of poles;

Single Phase Short Circuit


Generator Input Data: o Generator rating in KVA; o % subtransient reactance and X/R ratio or R and X in per unit; o Generator name-plate voltage, line-to-neutral. Utility Input Data: o Fault contribution in KVA and X/R ratio; o Utility rated voltage, line-to-line, or line-to-neutral.

It is given in KVA, MVA, Amps or per unit. 1-phase Network Connection to the Utility: The single phase network can be connected to the utility point, either L-L connection or L-N connection. 3.2 Feeder Dialog Window: As the network is a single phase network, both the phase/hot and return feeder information are required. Type, length, R and X of each feeder section need to be input. The hot and return feeder input data are provided separately. However, these data may be different.

B. Single-phase network tapped from a three-phase utility source with 2-poles; File name: 1PH_XFMRLOAD1.axd In this part of the tutorial a single-phase network is connected to a three-phase Utility with 2 poles: having a Line-to-line connection to the Utility. The study network has the following particulars: Power utility is 3-phase type; To provide the dual voltage 7.2 KV and 0.12 KV a 1-single phase mid tap transformer is connected to the Utility part. The transformer secondary is centertapped and center leg grounded (some times known as Scott connection). Loads rated 0.12 KV are connected from the hot wire to the ground. Heavier loads requiring 7.2 KV are connected between the two hot phase (or phase-to-phase connection). However, short-circuits can occur between the two hot phases or a hot phase to ground; The single-phase network has panels supplied at 0.12 KV and 7.2 KV; Faults on the two outsides legs are for 7.2 KV and from the outer phase to the neutral phases are for 0.12 KV; The outside phase (L-L) need to have 2-pole devices represent in order to clear the fault; 0.12 KV legs, connected between the outer phases most often are single-phase. However, short-circuits can occur between the two hot phases or a hot phase to ground. We will consider the fault at , 5 or 30 cycles as per ANSI Standards.
