A mathematical model of a 3-phase synchronous machine, connected to the infinite bus through a delta—star transformer and a transmission line, is given. Symmetric and asymmetric faults on the low-voltage side and on the high-voltage side of the transformer are analysed by using 3-phase variables. Since the simulation is in terms of the direct-phase quantities, the digital-program solution can very easily simulate simultaneous fault conditions as well as sequential faults on either side of the power transformer. By applying proper constraint conditions, the model can be readily used to include symmetric and asymmetric faults for an unloaded alternator, and power-frequency transients following the closure of the generator circuit breaker. The validity of the analysis developed is examined by comparing the digital results with the theoretical results for 3-phase faults on a generator on open circuit, and with a number of experimental results. Versatility is demonstrated by the range of experimental results considered and by further studies.
