Dear All, Can anybody please tell me which value(saturated or unsaturated) of sub-transient reactan..

Answer / yegneswaran

Saturated machines will have lesser reactance compares to unsaturated ones...

Hence, fault current is more while saturated subtransient reactance taken into account...

We should consider saturated subtransient reactance while calculating fault current value.

Answer / sarmadahmed

Fault current calculations are usually done to find the rating of protection equipment. For this we need the maximum fault current. Since unsaturated machines has lower value of sub-transient reactance, we should use unsaturated sub transient reactance for the calculations.

For polarity test on a 11/3.3kV 2.5MVA delta-star Unit Auxiliary transformer,415V 3-phase supply was applied at the HV. Connection between Aa was made with a 2.5mm cable. As soon as power was switched on the cable caught fire and burnt. This test was then abandoned. It is noteworthy to say that a similar cable was also used in a similar transformer for the same. The cable did not burn and test was successfully completed with good result. What is wrong? Please, help me out.
