SHORT-CIRCUIT ANALYSIS

An industrial warehouse is to be supplied at 230 V, 1-phase, 60 Hz by a distribution transformer


rated at 10 kVA with an impedance of 2.28192%. This distribution transformer is connected to
13.2kV infinite bus Base: 10 kVA, 230 V

Compute PU value for transformer, (Zt)

Compute PU value for wires (Zw )


For 14.0 mm2 THHN inside RSC
Length of feeder lines from transformer to MCB = 50 m
Wire impedance per 305 m = 0.49 + j 0.064 Ω

VOLTAGE DROP CALCULATION
A 2 HP, 1-phase, 230-volt, 60 Hz ACU draws a full load current of 12.0 amperes is connected to
a main circuit breaker 20 m away with 2 – 5.5 mm2 THHN copper conductor in polyvinyl conduit.
The main circuit breaker which draws a total current of 32.08 amperes from 10 kVA, 1phase,
230 V distribution transformer in 50 m away and is supplied by a 2 – 14.0 mm2 THHN copper
conductor in RSC.

Basic Formulas:

Voltage drop (VD) = I √𝑅 2 + 𝑋2


Where: I = line current, amperes
R = line AC resistance, ohms
X = line reactance at 60 Hz, ohms

𝐼√𝑅 2 +𝑋2
Percent voltage drop (%VD) = x 100%
𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑝𝑙𝑦 (𝑉𝑠)

For 5.5mm² THHN Cu. Wire


R = 1.2 ohm / 305 m (75℃)
X = 0.050 ohm / 305 m (75℃)

For 14.0mm² THHN Cu. Wire


R = 0.49 ohm / 305 m (75℃)
X = 0.064 ohm / 305 m (75℃)

At main circuit breaker, using equation (1) multiplied by length ratio,

a. Voltage drop (VD) = (32.08) √(0.49)2 + (0.064)2 x 50/305 = 2.60 volts

At motor terminals, using equation (2) multiplied by length ratio,


Voltage source at MCB (Vs) = Vs –VD =230 - 2.60 = 227.40 volts

(12.0)√(1.2)2 +(0.050)2 𝑥 20/305


b. Percent voltage drop (VD) = x 100%
227.40
Percent voltage drop (VD) = 0.416%

The electrical system did not exceed the maximum voltage drop of 5% for optimum
efficiency.
