Y2019-20 Tutorial 8

This document provides instructions for calculating fault currents using sequence components and the direct approach for various single-line to ground, line-to-line, and three-phase faults on 4-bus distribution systems. Impedance values and system configurations are given for each example case. Fault currents and post-fault voltages are to be calculated for faults at different locations in the systems.
