Ynni Consulting conducts short-circuit current calculations taking into account the entire network model and considering its operating modes and the contribution of various sources (Grid, Generators and motors). The fault currents are calculated at different locations in a power supply system for symmetrical short circuit, line-line, line-ground, and two lines-ground faults. The voltage at each bus during the fault can be calculated, using IEC or ANSI standards.
Objectives
Size the equipment
Check equipment thermal and electro-dynamic withstand capabilities
Specify ratings for fault current limiting devices
Reduce the risk of damage
Optimizing the detection of faults
Choose settings for protection relays
In case of excess short circuit capacity, remedial actions shall be proposed, such as sizing of series reactor, location and value.
