SHORT CIRCUIT ANALYSIS

I. SINGLE PHASE SHORT CIRCUIT CALCULATION

SYSTEM FAULT 1
Data:

Rating of Transformer 15 kva


Line voltage 230v
Phase SINGLE phase
Transformer Impedance 1.2%z
Power Factor 85%

Available Utility Infinite Assumption

IF.L.A = kVAx1000/EL-L

= 15x1000/230

= 65.217 A

Multiflier = 100/Z
= 100/1.2
= 83.33

ISCA = IF.L.A x 83.33

= 65.2 x 83.33

= 5,433.12 A

Motor short circuit contribution

Total motor full load

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.

IF.L.A motor contri = Approximate motor contribution is 50% of full load

Isca-motor contribution
= 0
= 0

SHORT CIRCUIT ANALYSIS

ITotal sc sym. RMS= 5,433.12 + 0

= 5,422.12 A

Calculate “f” factor.

f = 2 x L x Isc
C x n x EL-L

= 2 x 60 x 5,422.12
2,425 x 1 x 230

= 1.166

L = length (feet) of conductor to the fault


C = Constant from table, values for conductors and bus way
n = number of conductor per phase
L = Available short circuit current in amperes at beginning of circuit.
E = Voltage of circuit

Multiplier “M”

M = 1/ 1+f

= 1___
1+1.166

= .46

Isc sym RMS = 5,422.12 x .46

= 2,494.175 A Fault F1

Fault F2, fault at Panel PB

f = 2 x L x Isc
C x n x EL-L

= 2 x 15 x 2,494.175
1559 x 1 x 230

= .013

1+.013

= .98

Isc sym RMS = 2,494.15 x .98

= 2,444.12A Fault @F2
