Short Circuit

Short Circuit in a system is caused accidentally either due to insulation failure or flashover over lines initiated by lightning or accidental faulty operation. The above phenomenon results in the flow of heavy short circuit currents through the equipment which may result in permanent damage to power system elements. Hence, it is important to ensure that the short circuit ratings of power system elements are adequate. In addition, the faulty parts need to be disconnected from the healthy power system network using circuit breakers, fuses and other protection devices to protect the power system

  2. Short Circuit study SHORT CIRCUIT STUDY – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Short Circuit in a system is caused accidentally either due to insulation failure or flashover over lines initiated by lightning or accidental faulty operation. The above phenomenon results in the flow of heavy short circuit currents through the equipment which may result in permanent damage to power system elements. Hence, it is important to ensure that the short circuit ratings of power system elements are adequate. In addition, the faulty parts need to be disconnected from the healthy power system network using circuit breakers, fuses, and other protection devices to protect the power system from further damage. The software used for short circuit studies is ETAP, DigSilent Powerfactory, PSS/E, and so on. WHY SHORT CIRCUIT STUDY? •To determine the magnitude of current that flows through the system during fault conditions •To determine short circuit ratings (breaking current – AC and DC components, peak making current and short time withstand ratings) of switchgear, circuit breakers, and other power system elements. •To determine the permissible operating configurations that ensure the short circuit ratings are within the capability. •As an input for the design of the protection system (breaker/relay/release/CT/secondary circuits) and to calculate optimum protection settings. •As an input for the calculation of incident energy in Arc Flash Studies.
