Positive Sequence Resistance and Reactance calculation

Click For Summary
To calculate positive sequence resistance (R) and reactance (X) from maximum three-phase fault current (A) and phase angle (B), the formulas R = A * COS(PI() * B / 180) and X = A * SIN(PI() * B / 180) are proposed. However, to accurately compute impedance in ohms, voltage (V) is also required. The discussion highlights the relationship between current, voltage, resistance, and reactance, emphasizing that R and X can be derived from the equations involving voltage and the tangent of the phase angle. It is noted that the phase angle must be converted to radians for proper calculations.

Hi,

I have following two parameters with me

a) Maximum three phase fault current in amperes (A) and phase angle in degrees (B).

I want to calculate the positive sequence resistance (R) and reactance (X) from above two variables for a symmetric system. I couldn't figure out a way to find R and X values using just these two parameters. However I noted somebody has calculated them using following formula for same purpose (unfortunately couldn’t verify who did this in my workplace).

R = A * COS ( PI()*B/180 ) X = A * SIN ( PI()*B/180 ) where A is the three phase fault current and B is the phase angle

If someone can assist me to figure out the correct formula and the relation above, please

Thanks

In my opinion, if you intend to calculate the impedance in ohm-not in p.u.-then you’ll need the voltage.

A=V/(R+Xi)=V(R-Xi)/(R^2+X^2) then:

Iactiv=V*R/(R^2+X^2) Ireact=-V*X/(R^2+X^2) TAN(B)=Ireact/Iact=-X/R

A=SQRT(Iactiv^2+ Ireact^2)

A=V*SQRT(R^2+X^2)/(R^2+X^2)=V/SQRT(R^2+X^2)

X=TAN(B)*R

Then:

A=V/R/SQRT(1+TAN(B)^2) and from here:

R=V/(A*SQRT(1+TAN(B)^2)

(1+TAN(B)^2)=1+SIN^2(B)/COS^2(B)=1/COS^2(B)

R=V/A*COS(B) X=V/A*SIN(B)

B has to be radians then if B it is done in degrees then B[rad]=pi()/180*B[degrees].
 
Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'
I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
