What is the formula for finding fault level of generator?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
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.

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

Answer / jignesh
we have 3 sets of generator running in parallel gen data 11kv 2000kva 1600kw transient reactance 0.1772and sub transient 0.1998 NGR 63.2 ohm . What is the fault level and fault current ? Please give me the solution on my mail id

What is the meaning of insulation leavel LI 75 AC 28 About scott transformer spcification
Dear All, In a 400V power system, ratio of three current transformers installed incoming switchgear is 4000/1. Maximum three phases short circuit current of this system is 48kA. One CT is installed on neutral of upstream transformer (6/0.42kV, solidly earthed) for 51G protection. Would you please inform me about the correct CT ratio of this current transformer (on neutral)?? Thanks a million
