It is typical when calculating short circuit currents to incorporate the full cable length into the fault analysis. However, you must be careful when analyzing short-circuits during design basis events. Continue reading “Fault analysis in non-safety-related circuits during design basis events”

An explanation of the origin of a generator’s subtransient reactance
The term “subtransient reactance” is denoted by the symbol X’’d and is used to calculate available short-circuit generator fault currents. But where does it come from? What’s its origin? Continue reading “An explanation of the origin of a generator’s subtransient reactance”
In-depth explanation of the short-circuit behaviors of five important types of electrical equipment
I described in a previous article the benefits of learning how to do short-circuit analysis by hand. There are five primary elements that you need to know how to model when doing so. I go into the details here . . . . Continue reading “In-depth explanation of the short-circuit behaviors of five important types of electrical equipment”
