A machine with a large short circuit ratio has

  • A.poor voltage regulation and a small fault current
  • B.good voltage regulation and a small fault current
  • C.no relation between its regulation and its fault current
  • D.good voltage regulation and a large fault current

Answer: D

Correct answer: good voltage regulation and a large fault current

The short circuit ratio is the reciprocal of the per unit synchronous reactance, so a large ratio means a small reactance. A small reactance means a small voltage drop on load, hence good regulation - and, by the same token, little to limit the current into a fault. The two consequences are inseparable, and machine design trades one against the other.
