Single-Line Diagram
A balanced 3-phase system :
the magnitude of voltages and currents in every phase, is
the same and is displaced by 120°.
can be represented by one of the phases and the neutral
connection.
To simplify further:
remove the neutral connection
leaving only the live connection.

Impedance Diagram
The single-line diagram for a power system can be
converted into per phase equivalent circuit which is
used to analyse the performance of the system.
The equivalent circuit is known as ‘Impedance
Diagram’.
The impedance diagram is an equivalent single phase
circuit with neutral line taken as the return path.
The analysis on the impedance diagram is similar to
that on the alternating current circuit

Four important electrical quantities
Power (S), Voltage (V), Current (I), Impedance (Z).
Single-phase circuit
If you are provided with TWO quantities, you can
determine the other TWO quantities from Ohm’s Law
𝑽 = 𝑰𝒁 𝑺 = 𝑽𝑰 𝑺 = 𝑽𝟐 ⁄ 𝒁
Normally V and S are provided, I and Z are calculated
𝑰 = 𝑺⁄𝑽 𝒁 = 𝑽𝟐 ⁄ 𝑺

Three-phase circuit : Special consideration to the
power
S3-phase = 3 × S1-phase
S3-phase = 3 × VphIph
o Y connection : VL = √3 × Vph , IL = Iph
→ S3-phase = √3 × VLIph = √3 × VLIL
o Δ connection : VL = Vph , IL = √3 × Iph
→ S3-phase = √3 × VphIL = √3 × VLIL
S3-phase = √3 × VLIL
o you don’t have to worry about connection type.

Transformer
S is applicable for both sides of the transformer since
the transformer ratio does not affect the power
through it.
Since transformer has two sides, there will be unique
values of V, I and Z on each side
Both actual and base value.
The values changes according to transformer
ratio

Base conversion
The impedance for an individual component is initially based
on the ratings of the component.
MVArated - old
Zbase Zpu-old Zactual
kVrated - old
The base values used for the whole system might differ
from the component’s ratings
MVAsystem - new
Zbase Zpu-new Zactual
kVsystem - new
The per unit value of the impedance has to be corrected to
the new system base.

Fault MVA
When a short circuit occurs in an electric system,
heavy current flows through all the sections of the
system which are in the path between the power
source and the equipment. The short circuit current
is limited only by the impedance of the system.
83
Fault MVA
The Rating of the components is done based on the
maximum short circuit current.
