Quick Summary:

Given: Initial per unit impedance Z_{pu,old} = 0.242, New base voltage V_{base,new} = 1.1 ├ЧV\times V├ЧV_{base,old}. Note that the base power (SbaseS_{base}SbaseтАЛ) remains constant.

ЁЯУЛ Given

Initial per unit impedance Z_{pu,old} = 0.242, New base voltage V_{base,new} = 1.1 ├ЧV\times V├ЧV_{base,old}. Note that the base power (SbaseS_{base}SbaseтАЛ) remains constant.

ЁЯФв Formula Used

Zpu,new=Zpu,old├Ч(Sbase,newSbase,old)├Ч(Vbase,oldVbase,new)2Z_{pu,new} = Z_{pu,old} \times \left( \frac{S_{base,new}}{S_{base,old}} \right) \times \left( \frac{V_{base,old}}{V_{base,new}} \right)^2Zpu,newтАЛ=Zpu,oldтАЛ├Ч(Sbase,oldтАЛSbase,newтАЛтАЛ)├Ч(Vbase,newтАЛVbase,oldтАЛтАЛ)2

ЁЯФв Step-by-Step Solution
1

Identify Relationship

The per unit impedance ZpuZ_{pu}ZpuтАЛ is defined as Zpu=Zactual├ЧSbaseVbase2Z_{pu} = \frac{Z_{actual} \times S_{base}}{V_{base}^2}ZpuтАЛ=Vbase2тАЛZactualтАЛ├ЧSbaseтАЛтАЛ. Since the actual impedance ZactualZ_{actual}ZactualтАЛ and base power SbaseS_{base}SbaseтАЛ are constant, the variation depends solely on the square of the base voltage.

ZpuтИЭ1Vbase2Z_{pu} \propto \frac{1}{V_{base}^2}ZpuтАЛтИЭVbase2тАЛ1тАЛ

2

Apply Change Formula

Using the ratio of the new per unit value to the old per unit value where Vbase,new=1.1Vbase,oldV_{base,new} = 1.1 V_{base,old}Vbase,newтАЛ=1.1Vbase,oldтАЛ:

Zpu,new=Zpu,old├Ч(Vbase,old1.1├ЧVbase,old)2Z_{pu,new} = Z_{pu,old} \times \left( \frac{V_{base,old}}{1.1 \times V_{base,old}} \right)^2Zpu,newтАЛ=Zpu,oldтАЛ├Ч(1.1├ЧVbase,oldтАЛVbase,oldтАЛтАЛ)2

3

Calculate Final Value

Substitute the given values into the ratio formula: Zpu,new=0.242├Ч1(1.1)2Z_{pu,new} = 0.242 \times \frac{1}{(1.1)^2}Zpu,newтАЛ=0.242├Ч(1.1)21тАЛ. Since (1.1)2=1.21(1.1)^2 = 1.21(1.1)2=1.21, we get $0.242 / 1.21$.

Zpu,new=0.2421.21=0.2Z_{pu,new} = \frac{0.242}{1.21} = 0.2Zpu,newтАЛ=1.210.242тАЛ=0.2

тЬЕ

D is correct because applying the change of base formula results in a new per unit impedance of 0.2.

Per Unit System Base Voltage Change Impedance Transformation
ЁЯТб EXAM TIP

In power system analysis, always verify if the base power (MVA) is also changing alongside voltage, as per unit impedance scales linearly with SbaseS_{base}SbaseтАЛ and inversely with the square of VbaseV_{base}VbaseтАЛ.
