Change in a Short Circuit Current | Power System | Electrical Engineering

Figure 1.1 shows how a short circuit current varies on occurrence of a short circuit fault. During the first moment of the fault the current attains its maximum value and then decays to some steady-state value. For checking the thermal and dynamic stability of the equipment in electrical installations with respect to the fault currents which may arise in the [...]

Limitations of Short Circuit Current | Power System | Electrical Engineering

On occurrence of a short circuit at any point in a system, the short circuit current is limited by the impedance of the system up to the point of fault. Thus referring to Fig. 4.8, if a fault occurs on the feeder at point F, then the short circuit current from the generating station will have a value limited by [...]
