Wye-Delta starter contributing to Short Circuit Level?
Wye-Delta starter contributing to Short Circuit Level?
(OP)
We are doing short circuit calculations according to IEC 363 on a network where a motor is driven by a wye-delta starter.
In IEC 363 you can select the motor reactances to be calculated according to its relative starting current. However, the wye-delta starter of course reduces this starting current. So what relative starting current should I base my calculations on? The new wye-delta current or the original starting current of the motor (7xIn)?

What about cable lenght?
One-line diagram shows 50 metres before wye delta starter and 5 meters after... I assume that 55 metres is the correct lenght to use in my calculations??
