    adau
    This document contains 10 examples of calculating short-circuit currents for various electrical equipment. It lists the equipment type, relevant parameters like conductor length and size, and calculates the short-circuit current (SCA) using short-circuit calculation formulas. The examples include a transformer, motor controller, fluorescent fixture, and other devices. Parameters like X/R ratio and multiplying factor are determined and used to calculate the SCA for each case.
