On a balanced three phase system, the same magnitude
of fault currents will flow in each phase of the network if
a three phase fault occurs.
Since faults currents are balanced, the faulted system
can, therefore, be analyzed using the single phase
representation.

Thevenin Equivalent
Thevenins Theorem states that, with respect to a given
pair of terminals, any electric circuit can be represented
by a single voltage source in series with a single
impedance.

Fault MVA:
The short circuit current at any point in the power system
is generally expressed in terms of a fault MVA. By

Sample Problem 6
Fault at bus 1 and 2 in Fig. 7.3 are of interest. The pre-fault voltage
is 1.05 per unit and pre-fault load current is neglected.
(a) Determine the 2 x 2 positive-sequence bus impedance matrix.
(b) For a bolted three-phase short circuit at bus 1, use to
calculate the subtransient fault current and the contribution to the
fault current from the transmission line.
(c) Repeat part (b) for a bolted three-phase short circuit at bus 2.
