Note that V 1 (F) denotes the voltage at bus 1 during the fault and<br />
V 1 (0) denotes the voltage at bus 1 before the fault i.e. the pre-fault voltage. Similarly<br />
V 2 (F) = V 2 (0) + V 2<br />
= 1 – 0.32<br />
= 0.68 pu<br />
V 3 (F) = V 3 (0) + V 3<br />
= 1 – 0.68<br />
= 0.32 pu<br />
(c) The line currents are calculated as follows:<br />
For the line between bus 1 and bus 2<br />
I 12 (F) =<br />
=<br />
I 13 (F) =<br />
= -j0.1 pu<br />
=<br />
I 23 (F) =<br />
= -j1.1 pu<br />
=<br />
= -j0.9 pu<br />
<strong>Symmetrical</strong> Fault Analysis using the Bus Impedance Matrix<br />
Solving the faulted network using Thevenin’s method involves reducing the network and<br />
is not efficient and applicable to large networks. A more efficient method involves using<br />
