(c) Previous Year Questions- Fault Analysis - 2 | Power Systems - Electrical Engineering (EE)
(d) Previous Year Questions- Fault Analysis - 2 | Power Systems - Electrical Engineering (EE)
Ans: (c)
Sol: Equivalent circuit for the zero sequence network depends upon the impedances met by the zero sequence currents flowing through the three phases and their sum, 3Ia0, flowing through the neutral impedance and returning through the ground or a neutral conductor.
If there is no complete path for zero sequence currents in a circuit, the zero sequence impedance is infinite.
Thus a Y-connected circuit with ungrounded neutral has infinite impedance to zero sequence currents.
A delta-connected circuit provides no path for zero sequence currents flowing in the line. The zero sequence currents being single phase, circulate within the winding. Hence viewed from its terminals its zero sequence impedance is infinite.
