This model shows how to simulate the phase to phase fault in QuickField. Problem Type: Plane-parallel problem of transient magnetics. Geometry: Tangent tower design. All dimensions are in meters. Wire design Line-to-line short circuit Given: Rated voltage (RMS) Urated = 110 kV; Rated current (RMS) Irated = 440 A; Line length l = 20 km; Loading parameters Rload = 100 Ohm; Lload = 0.23 H. Problem: Determine the transient process currents after a short circuit occurred. Find the electromagnetic forces acting on the lines during this process. Solution: To solve this problem it is necessary to simulate both field part and circuit part. The scheme of connection of power supply phase windings, loading, elements of the circuit and short-circuit bridge is presented in the circuit model, created by the QuickField Circuit Editor. Short-circuit bridge is a QuickField block with the resistance which varies in time. This dependence is implemented using the electrical conductivity as a function of the temperature, which is also function of time - as σ(T(t)) function. Results: Short-circuit current (amplitude) Imax = 7000 A. Electromagnetic force of interaction between phases A and B FA-B = 1780 N/km.
