in the terms for the DC offset and the sub-transient saliency.) The inclusion of an external impedance
such as a unit transformer that has both reactance and resistance will only have the modifying effect
as mentioned above because the external reactance will be much greater than the external resistance.
The ratios of reactance to resistance in high voltage circuits is usually at least 10:1. The external

reactance added to X d , X , X will also reduce the magnitude of the instantaneous short-circuit
d q
current for all values of time.
The time constant T a is important because it influences the lower envelope of the short-circuit
current wave form to such an extent that the current can fail to cross the time axis until several
cycles have been completed. This is demonstrated in 7.2.10 and Figure 7.1 shows the result. The
behaviour of the instantaneous current imparts a heavy duty on the stator circuit breakers. Should
this be anticipated in practice, from preliminary design studies, then the equipment involved should
be specified accordingly.

20.3.3 Derived Reactances and Time Constants for an Induction Motor

The absence of the field winding can be used to convert the mathematical model of the synchronous
machine into one for an induction machine. In addition the mutual inductance in the q-axis is made
equal to mutual inductance in the d-axis, i.e. the machine becomes symmetrical in both axes. The
matrix equations (20.6) to (20.16) are modified as shown below. In these equations the mutual
inductances M d and M q become M, L lkd and L lkq become L lk , R kd and R kq become R k . All the
derived reactances and time constants for an induction machine are equivalent to those applicable to
the q-axis of the synchronous machine.
Some of the literature use ‘transient’ notation, e.g. References 3, 22 and 28. Others use
‘sub-transient’ notation particularly in relation to fault current contribution in power systems, e.g.
Reference 24.
Most literature use transient notation, Adkins, Ramsden IEE68 Fitzgerald and Kingsley. Others
use sub-transient notation particularly in relation to fault current contribution in power systems.
Equations (20.6) to (20.10) become:-

     
0 M 0
ψ d M + L la i d
0 0 M i
   M + L la   

 ψ kd   M 0 M + L kd 0   i kd 
0 M 0

It is reasonable to regard the rotor windings as damper windings and use the notation of
sub-transient reactances. Hence the following derived reactances and time constants are appropriate
to induction machines.
