Have you wondered is there a simpler way to calculate short circuit currents
without a computer program? A very simplified method known by many as the
“infinite bus” calculation method is a good way to approximate short circuit
calculations. This article takes you thought the steps with an example of the
infinite bus calculation process. If you would like to know how to perform more
detailed short calculations which include the source impedance, conductor
impedance and motor contribution in addition to the transformer impedance,
Jim has a 4 DVD series that takes you through the entire short circuit calculation
process complete with many examples and calculation worksheets. Now, on (https://brainfiller.com/produc

through a transformer. The calculation will provide the three-phase rms
symmetrical short circuit current on the secondary bus of the transformer. This
process only has two simple calculation steps:
Step 1 – Calculate the secondary full load current rating of the transformer:
Step 2 – Calculate the short circuit current on the transformer secondary bus:
