Fault current calculations
Fault current calculations
(OP)
Hi I am attempting to do the short circuit current calculations to determine an appropriate fuse size and I was wondering if some one could give me some pointers. The calculations are for a run between a 3ph 600/347V padmounted transformer and a switch gear. We are putting in a new 3ph service 600/347V, 1000AMP service and I would like to do some calculations in order to ensure that we have appropriate fusing selected to comply with ESA and utility requirements. If some one could walk me through the calculations or inform me of what specs and numbers I need to have before I can commence the analysis I would really appreciate it.
