    NCEES (version 2018) #122

    I understand that the "average power consumption" is just the area under the curve (graph). 1 square = 25 kW Time interval 1: 25kW Time interval 2: 25kW + 25kW (0.5) = 37.5 kW Time interval 3: 25kW + 25kW + 25kW (0.5) = 62.5 kW Time interval 4: 25kW + 25kW = 50kW But for " "Max Demand at...

    NCEES Power Sample Exam #108

    1) Could you confirm my calculation (attachment) is correct? 2) I understand that the question doesn't ask about the angle. But if I set Van at angle 0 deg, should the In (neutral current) at angle -86.57 deg? Notes: a) I also think that current conjugate should be considered (for single...

    Fault Current Analysis (PU method)

    @Zach Stone, P.E. I am working on Fault Current Analysis quiz question 9 at electricalpereview.com. And I am trying to use PU method to solve it. Set Vb=4160V, Sb=1.5MVA Zg, pu (Zpu at generator) = 0.079 pu * (1.5MVA/50MVA)=0.00237pu Zx, pu (Zpu at transformer) = 0.075pu Since Zg, pu is...

    CI Q3-54 MVA vs PU method

    @Zach Stone, P.E. Could you help me with this one? + In your website electricalpereview.com Video Example 8 - Generator and Transformer Per Unit Method, it seems like you also ignore the whole "voltage base old and voltage base new" term. Zg,new = 5.6% (20MVA/55MVA) = 0.0206 pu Are the...

    Fault current contribution (upstream of transformer)

    Question: Does the transformer contribute to the fault current in this case? If yes, why and how? Thanks!

    Fault current contribution (upstream of transformer)

    This is from Fault Current Analysis quiz at http://www.electricalpereview.com. @Zach Stone, P.E. The fault is between the generator and the transformer. Does the transformer to the fault current? If yes, why? My solution: Since the fault happens at the upstream of the transformer, only the...

    Graffeo Ex 51 - Using MVA Method

    I am trying to use the MVA method. Sg = 200MVA/.25 = 800MVA Stx1 = 200MVA/.12 = 1666.7 MVA Since they are in series, treat them as resisters in parallel circuit. S=((1/800MVA) + (1/1666.7))^-1 = 540.5MVA Isc = S / sqrt(3) * V = 540.5 MVA / sqrt (3) * 230kV = 1356.8 A Graffeo's answer is I...
