Positive Sequence Resistance and Reactance calculation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating positive sequence resistance (R) and reactance (X) using maximum three-phase fault current (A) and phase angle (B) for a symmetric system. The formulas provided are R = A * COS(PI() * B / 180) and X = A * SIN(PI() * B / 180). It is established that voltage (V) is also necessary for accurate impedance calculations, leading to the derived formulas R = V / (A * COS(B)) and X = V / (A * SIN(B)). The phase angle must be converted to radians for these calculations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of three-phase electrical systems

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].
