Appendix C Fault Level Calculation Rev 0

This document contains calculations to determine the earth fault current at the 33kV bus of the North Awqad-II Primary Substation. It provides details of the system voltage, fault current, impedances of the transmission lines, transformers and earth. An equivalent circuit is presented considering the worst case scenario of two parallel transformers and two parallel cable lines. The total impedance is calculated and used to determine the 33kV earth fault current to be 6.28kA.

Base kV (kVb) = 33 kV

Source Fault MVA = Sqrt(3) *132* 31.5

Cable negative sequence impedance Zc2 = 0.04081 +j 0.05527 pu

Cable zero sequence impedance/km = 0.935 +j 0.124 ohm/km (Refer Appendix - E)


Cable zero sequence impedance ZC0 = 4.20750 +j 0.55800 ohm

EAT zero sequence impedance Z0EAT = 12.50 ohm (As per Past project data)
