Example

Calculate the short circuit current for a three phase fault at busbar D.

Consider that the Hydro Power Station is under maintenance and therefore all the breakers associated are open.

Let base MVA = 75 MVA

Let base kV on 132 kV nominal part of system = 132 kV

The base kV on other parts of the system is obtained by referring this voltage through the interconnecting transformers.
