A short-circuit study is an analysis of an electrical system that determines the magnitude of the currents that flow during an electrical failure. Comparing these calculated values with the equipment ratings is the first step in ensuring that the power system is safely protected.
We are going to calculate the levels of short-circuit fault current at different locations in the power system.
We will compare these calculated fault currents with your equipment’s break / resistance ratings to determine if you have a problem.
A SHORT CIRCUIT STUDY
Determine the breaking power of circuit breakers and fuses.
Increase installation reliability, equipment protection and personal safety.
Predict thermal and electrodynamic stresses caused by current fault.
Provide accurate fault current calculations at each location in the system, thus allowing equipment with an appropriate rating to be specified.
Identify underestimated equipment before extensive damage to the system occurs.
