(a) Neglecting the transformer winding resistance,
\(I^{\prime \prime}=\frac{E q}{X_{d}^{\prime \prime}+X_{T R}}=\frac{1.0}{0.17+0.10}=\underline{\underline{3.704}} \text { Per unit }\)
The base current on the high-voltage side of the transformer is:
\(\begin{aligned}
& I_{\text {base } H}=\frac{S_{\text {rated }}}{\sqrt{3} V_{\text {H rated }}}=\frac{1500}{\sqrt{3}(500)}=1.732 \mathrm{kA} \\
& I^{\prime \prime}=(3.704)(1.732)=\underline{\underline{6.415}} \mathrm{kA}
\end{aligned}\)
(b) Using Eq (7.2.1) at \(t \quad 3\) cycles \(0.05 \mathrm{~S}\) with the transformer reactance included:
\(\begin{aligned}
I_{a c}(0.05) & =1.0\left[\left(\frac{1}{0.27}-\frac{1}{0.40}\right) e^{\frac{-0.05}{0.05}}+\left(\frac{1}{0.40}-\frac{1}{1.6}\right) e^{\frac{-0.05}{1.0}}+\frac{1}{1.6}\right] \\
& =2.851 \text { Per Unit }
\end{aligned}\)
Using Eq (7.2.5),
\(i_{d c}(t)=\sqrt{2}(3.704) e^{-t / 0.10}=5.238 e^{-t / 0.10} \text { Per unit }\)
The rms asymmetrical current that the breaker interrupts is
\(\begin{aligned}
I_{r m s}(0.05 S) & =\sqrt{I_{a c}^{2}(0.05)+i_{d c}^{2}(0.05)} \\
& =\sqrt{(2.851)^{2}+(5.238)^{2} e^{\frac{-2(0.05)}{0.10}}} \\
& =4.269 \text { Per Unit }=(4.269)(1.732)=\underline{\underline{7.394}} \mathrm{kA}
\end{aligned}\)
