Per Unit System: Problem Solved For Easy Understanding (continued)
In this post, we calculate the full load current drawn by the load. See linked post to view how the per unit impedances were calculated.
Articles cover electrical concepts such as per unit systems, industry jargon, etc.
In this post, we calculate the full load current drawn by the load. See linked post to view how the per unit impedances were calculated.
Let’s understand the concept of per unit system by solving an example. In the one-line diagram below, the impedance of various components in a power system, typically derived from their nameplates, are presented. The task now is to normalize these values using a common base.
These terms were coined over a time period to identify the appropriate short circuit current magnitude that engineers could use to size the switchgears, switchboards, panelboards, and the circuit breakers.
Learning symmetrical components can be overwhelming if you are considering its mathematical aspect only. It is time to step back and understand this concept from a macro view.
