v Based on the source and line impedance, the minimum fault-current levels can be calculated as follows:
�_�𝐶=�_𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒�/
(√3∙�_𝑡�𝑡𝑎� )
v For a 3-pole short circuit at the end of the line, Z total is calculated as follows:
| Ztotal | = Sum of synchronous source impedance and line impedance (since only the magnitude of the current
should be calculated, only the magnitude of the impedance is relevant)
| Ztotal | = | ( 1.787 Ω + 5 km x 0.048Ω/km ) + j( 35.775 Ω + 5 km x 0.281Ω/km )|Ω
= 37.24 Ω
Thus for 3-phase faults without fault resistance, there results a minimum fault current of:
150 kV
I3pol min = = 2,326 A
√3 x 37.24 Ω

√3 x 150 kV
v The parameter X per length unit is used to configure the characteristic reactance per unit length of the line to be
