What is the formula for finding fault level of generator?..

Answer / ramesh

I would like to answer by way of an example:

Generator capacity = 12MVA
Generator sub-transient impedance = 12%

With above two data,
the generator fault level can be calculated as folows:
Generator fault level = Generator capacity / generator sub-
transient impedance

Generator fault level = 12 MVA / 12% = 12MVA/.12 = 100MVA

To get fault current = Generator fault MVA / (1.732 *
generator rated voltage)

In case of single phase generator 1.732 to be ignored.

What is the formula for finding fault level of generator?..

Answer / ramesh

From your question I guess there is transformer between the
11kV & 6.6kV you are refering to. We need the transformer
MVA and the impedance percentage.
Once your provide the transformer MVA and its %impedance I
can answer further
