Data:
IF.L.A = kVAx1000/EL-L
= 15x1000/230
= 65.217 A
Multiflier = 100/Z
= 100/1.2
= 83.33
= 65.2 x 83.33
= 5,433.12 A
Motor short circuit contribution, if significant, may be added at all fault locations
throughout the system. A practical estimate of motor contribution is to multiply the
total motor current in amps by 4. Value of 4 to 6 are commonly accepted.
Isca-motor contribution
