By considering line - 1,

F1 U.B. N.J 06.09.2019 D11

Here ZBUS is formed between new bus & reference bus, so type - 1 formation

∴  ZBus = [j 0.2]

By adding line - 2 to the above Bus

F1 U.B. N.J 06.09.2019 D12

Here ZBUS is formed between new bus & old bus, so type - 2 formation

\({Z_{Bus}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {j\;0.2}&{j\;0.2}\\ {j\;0.2}&{j\;0.2 + j\;0.4} \end{array}} \right]\)

\(= \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {j\;0.2}&{j\;0.2}\\ {j\;0.2}&{j\;0.6} \end{array}} \right]\)
