Quick Summary:

Given: Initial per unit impedance Z_{pu(old)} = 0.242. Base voltage V_{new} = 1.1 * V_{old}. Base MVA (SbS_{b}SbтАЛ) remains constant.

ЁЯУРMAMath SolutionDirect Formula
ЁЯУЛ Given

Initial per unit impedance Z_{pu(old)} = 0.242. Base voltage V_{new} = 1.1 * V_{old}. Base MVA (SbS_{b}SbтАЛ) remains constant.

ЁЯФв Formula Used

Zpu(new)=Zpu(old)├Ч(Sb(new)Sb(old))├Ч(Vb(old)Vb(new))2Z_{pu(new)} = Z_{pu(old)} \times \left( \frac{S_{b(new)}}{S_{b(old)}} \right) \times \left( \frac{V_{b(old)}}{V_{b(new)}} \right)^2Zpu(new)тАЛ=Zpu(old)тАЛ├Ч(Sb(old)тАЛSb(new)тАЛтАЛ)├Ч(Vb(new)тАЛVb(old)тАЛтАЛ)2

ЁЯФв Step-by-Step Solution
1

Identify the base impedance relationship

Per unit impedance is defined as Zpu=ZactualZbaseZ_{pu} = \frac{Z_{actual}}{Z_{base}}ZpuтАЛ=ZbaseтАЛZactualтАЛтАЛ, where Zbase=Vb2SbZ_{base} = \frac{V_b┬▓}{S_b}ZbaseтАЛ=SbтАЛVb2тАЛтАЛ. Substituting this, we get Zpu=Zactual├ЧSbVb2Z_{pu} = \frac{Z_{actual} \times S_b}{V_b┬▓}ZpuтАЛ=Vb2тАЛZactualтАЛ├ЧSbтАЛтАЛ.

ZpuтИЭ1Vb2Z_{pu} \propto \frac{1}{V_b┬▓}ZpuтАЛтИЭVb2тАЛ1тАЛ

2

Apply the scaling factor

Given Vnew=1.1VoldV_{new} = 1.1 V_{old}VnewтАЛ=1.1VoldтАЛ and keeping the actual impedance ZactualZ_{actual}ZactualтАЛ and base MVA SbS_bSbтАЛ constant, the new per unit impedance relates to the old one as Zpu(new)=Zpu(old)├Ч(Vold/Vnew)2Z_{pu(new)} = Z_{pu(old)} \times (V_{old} / V_{new})^2Zpu(new)тАЛ=Zpu(old)тАЛ├Ч(VoldтАЛ/VnewтАЛ)2.

Zpu(new)=0.242├Ч(11.1)2Z_{pu(new)} = 0.242 \times \left( \frac{1}{1.1} \right)^2Zpu(new)тАЛ=0.242├Ч(1.11тАЛ)2

3

Calculate the result

Calculating the square of the ratio: 1.1┬░2=1.211.1┬░2 = 1.211.1┬░2=1.21. Then, Zpu(new)=0.242/1.21=0.2Z_{pu(new)} = 0.242 / 1.21 = 0.2Zpu(new)тАЛ=0.242/1.21=0.2.

Zpu(new)=0.2Z_{pu(new)} = 0.2Zpu(new)тАЛ=0.2

тЬЕ

D is correct because the new per unit impedance is calculated as 0.242/1.1┬░2=0.20.242 / 1.1┬░2 = 0.20.242/1.1┬░2=0.2, which is not listed in the provided options A, B, or C.

ЁЯТб EXAM TIP

Always remember that base change formulas in per-unit systems rely on the square of the voltage ratio. This is a common pitfall in Power Systems analysis during fault calculations.
