Fault Current Capacity
Fault Current Capacity
(OP)
I was trying to find out the fault current capacity of 1/0 copper, 2/0 copper, 4/0 copper @ 30 cycles. For the use of choosing the right personal protective grounding equipment.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

I'd recommend buying complete grounding sets from A.B. Chance or similar (if you're in the US). These will have a tested and published rating consistent with IEEE standards for safety grounds.

2/0 - 20kA - 30 Cycles
4/0 - 30kA - 30 Cycles
But DPC is right, the clamps are usually the limiting component, buy a full set that is tested and rated for your application.
