12. Two synchronous machines are connected through three-phase transformers to
transmission line as given in fig. The ratings and reactance of the machine and
transformer are:
Machine 1&2: 100MVA; 20KV; X1=X2=20%; X0=4%; Xn=5%

Both transformers are solidly grounded on two sides on a chosen base of
100MVA ,345KV in the transmission line circuit. The line reactance are X 1=X2=15%
and X0=50%. The system is operating at nominal voltage without prefault currents
when a bolted(Zf=0) single line to ground fault occurs on phase a at bus3.
