1. INTRODUCTION The short circuit is an accidental electrical contact between two or more conductors. The protective devices such as circuit breakers and fuses are applied to isolate faults and to minimize damage and disruption to the plants operation. 1.1 TYPE OF FAULTS Types of Faults depend on the power system grounding method. The most common faults are: Three-Phase Fault, with or without ground (3P, or 3P-G); Single line to ground Fault (L-G); Line to Line Fault (L-L); Line to line to ground Fault (L-L-G).
Estimated frequency of occurrence of different kinds of fault in power system is: 3P or 3P-G: L-L: L-L-G: L-G: 8% 12 %; 10 %; 70 %.
Severity of fault:
Normally the three-phase symmetrical short circuit (3P) can be regarded as the most severe condition. There are cases that can lead to single phase fault currents exceeding the three-phase fault currents, however the total energy is less than a three-phase fault. Such cases include faults that are close to the following types of equipment: The wye side of a solidly grounded delta-wye transformer / auto-transformer; The wye-wye solidly grounded side of a three winding transformer with a delta tertiary winding; A synchronous generator solidly connected to ground; The wye side of several wye grounded transformer running in parallel.
Type of Short Circuits:

a):3P three-phase; b):L-L, line-to-line; c):L-L-G, line-to-line-to-ground; and d): L-G, line-to-ground

TERMINOLOGY Arcing Time - the interval of time between the instant of the first initiation of the arc in the protective device and the instant of final arc extinction in all phases; Available Short Circuit Current - the maximum short circuit current that the power system could deliver at a given circuit point assuming negligible short circuit fault impedance; Breaking Current - the current in a pole of a switching device at the instant of arc initiation (pole separation). It is also known as Interrupting Current in ANSI Standards. Close and Latch Duty - the maximum rms value of calculated short circuit current for medium and high-voltage circuit breakers, during the first cycle, with any applicable multipliers with regard to fault current X/R ratio. Often, the close and latching duty calculation is simplified by applying a 1.6 factor to the first cycle symmetrical AC rms short circuit current. Close and latch duty is also called first cycle duty, formerly called momentary duty. Close and Latch Capability - the maximum asymmetrical current capability of a medium or highvoltage circuit breaker to close, and immediately thereafter latch closed, for normal frequency making current. The close and latch asymmetrical rms current capability is 1.6 times the circuit breaker rated maximum symmetrical AC rms interrupting current. Often called first cycle capability. The rms asymmetrical rating was formerly called momentary rating; Contact Parting Time - the interval between the beginning of a specified over current and the instant when the primary arcing contacts have just begun to part in all poles. It is the sum of the relay or release delay and opening time; Crest Current / Peak Current the highest instantaneous current during a period; Fault an abnormal connection , including the arc, of relative low impedance, whether made accidentally or intentionally, between two points of different voltage potentials; Fault Point X/R the calculated fault point reactance to resistance ratio (X/R) ratio. Depending on the Standard, different calculation procedures are used to determine this ratio; First Cycle Duty the maximum value of calculated peak or rms asymmetrical current or symmetrical short circuit current for the first cycle with any applicable multipliers for fault current X/R ratio; First Cycle Rating the maximum specified rms asymmetrical or symmetrical peak current capability of a piece of equipment during the first cycle of a fault; Interrupting Current the current in a pole of a switching device at the instant of arc initiation. Sometime referred to as Breaking Current, I b , IEC60909; Making Current the current in a pole of a switching device at the instant the device closes and latches into a fault; Momentary Current Rating the maximum available first cycle rms asymmetrical current which the device or assembly is required to withstand. It was used on medium and high-voltage circuit breakers manufactured before 1965; present terminology: Close and Latch Capability;

SOURCES IN FAULT ANALYSIS Power utilities, all rotating electric machinery and regenerative drives are sources in fault calculation.
Cycle Network Duty

The decay of short circuit current is due to the decay of stored magnetic energy in the equipment. The main impedances for the first cylce is the sub-transient impedance. It is generally used for the first cycles up to a few cycles; The cycle network is also referred to as the sub transient network, because all rotating machines are represented by their sub transient reactance. cycle short circuit currents are used to evaluate the interrupting duties for low-voltage power breakers, low voltage molded-case breakers, high and low voltage fuses and withstand currents for switches and high-voltage breakers. The following table shows the type of device and its associated duties using the cycle network.

ANSI/IEEE MULTIPLYING FACTORS (MF) The short circuit waveform for a balanced three-phase fault at the terminal bus of a machine is generally asymmetrical and is composed of a unidirectional DC component and a symmetrical AC component. The DC component decays to zero, and the amplitude of the symmetrical AC component decays to constant amplitude in the steady-state If the envelops of the positive and negative peaks of the current waveform are symmetrical around zero axis, they are called Symmetrical. If the envelops of the positive and negative peaks current are not symmetrical around the zero axis, they are called Asymmetrical. If the DC fault component is not considered in the fault current, the fault current has the AC component only, and it is symmetrical; if DC fault component is considered, then the fault current is asymmetrical and is called asymmetrical or total fault current. The multiplying factors MF converts the rms value of the symmetrical AC component into asymmetrical rms current or short circuit current duty. The MF is calculated based on the X/R ratio and the instant of time that the fault current happens. The X/R ratio for ANSI breaker duties is calculated from separate R and X networks.
First Cycle (Asymmetrical) Total Short Circuit Current MF (Circuit Duty): Is defined as:
MFm = 1 + 2e
For: X/R = 25, the MFm is equal to 1.6.
2 X R
Note: In the short circuit option tab Control for ANSI/IEEE the user has the option to calculate MFm based on X/R or use MFm=1.6
Peak Multiplying Factor Is defined as:

2 X /R
MFPeak = 2 (1 + e
where is the instant of time when fault occurs, X/R for ANSI breaker duties are calculated from separate R and X network. For:
= Cycle, and X/R = 25 to one decimal place is MFPeak = 2.7 .
Note: In the short circuit option tab Control for ANSI/IEEE the user has the option to calculate MFpeak based on X/R or use MFpeak= 2.7

LOCAL AND REMOTE CONTRIBUTIONS The magnitude of the symmetrical current (AC component) from remote sources remain essentially constant No AC Decay (NACD) at its initial value or it may reduce with time toward a residual AC current magnitude (ACD). If the fault is close to generator, then the AC component decays (ACD). In other words, when generator is local or close to the faulted point the short circuit current decays faster. If the generator is remote from the faulted point, the ac short circuit current decay will be slow and a conservative simplification is to assume that there is no AC decay (NACD) in the symmetrical AC component. Per ANSI Standards: A generator is a LOCAL SOURCE of the short circuit current if: The per unit reactance external to the generator is less than 1.5 times the generator per-unit sub transient reactance on a common system base MVA. Its contribution to the total symmetrical rms Amperes will be greater than where the bus. A generator is a REMOTE SOURCE of a short circuit current if: The per unit reactance external to the generator is equal to or exceeds 1.5 times the generator per unit sub transient reactance on a common system base MVA.

ANSI/IEEE STANDARD BASED DEVICE EVALUATION STANDARD RATINGS FOR HV AND MV CIRCUIT BREAKERS (CB) The ANSI/IEEE Standards define the CB total interrupting time in cycles. However, the Contact Parting Time (CPT) needs to be known for application of breakers. The typical total rated interrupting time for Medium-Voltage Circuit Breakers is 5 cycles (ANSI C37.06 1987). However, the MV CBs interrupting time correspond to 3 cycle contact parting time for the short circuit current, in the 2 -8 cycle network.

S 1.4 1.2 1.1 1.0
S is the breakers asymmetrical capability factor and is determined based on the rating structure to which the breaker was manufactured. Most breakers manufactured after 1964 are breakers rated on a symmetrical current basis. Those manufactured before 1965 were rated on a total current basis. Both the symmetrical and total current rated breakers have some DC interrupting capability included in their ratings and it is a matter of how it is accounted for in the total interrupting current. Note: For circuit breakers rated on Total Current S=1.0 Medium voltage breakers duty is based on: 1. Momentary rating (C&L) 2. Peak (Crest) 3. Interrupting The Momentary and Peak formulae apply to both breakers symmetrical and total current rated breakers. The interrupting rating is calculated differently based on the formulae shown in the next sections.

Momentary Duty Calculation (C & L): The CB Closing and Latching Capability defines the CB ability to withstand (close and immediately latch) the maximum value of the first-cycle short circuit current. The closing and latching capability of a symmetrical current-rated CB is expressed in terms of Asymmetrical, Total rms current, or peak current. EDSA uses the following steps to calculate the circuit breaker momentary duty: 1. 2. Calculate the cycle symmetrical short circuit (Isym,rms). Calculate asymmetrical current value using the following formula: Imom,rms,asym = MFm*Isym,rms, where:
MFm =
-2 X/R 1 + 2e
(EQ 1)
Note: In the short circuit option tab Control for ANSI/IEEE the user has the option to calculate MFm based on X/R or use MFm=1.6 3. Compare Imom,rms,asym against the medium voltage circuit breaker (C&L,rms ) value: If Device C&L,rms rating Imom,rms,asym, then the device Pass or otherwise it fails 4. Calculate the % Rating = (Imom,rms,asym*100)/Device C&L,rms rating
Peak Duty calculation (Crest): 1. Calculate the cycle interrupting short circuit (Isym,rms). 2. Calculate the peak value of momentary SC using the following formula: Imom,peak = MFp*Isym,rms where:

3. Compare Imom,peak against the medium voltage circuit breaker (Creat,peak ) value. If Device Creast,peak rating Imom,peak, then the device pass, or otherwise it fails 4. Calculate The % rating = (Imom,peak*100)/Device Crest,peak rating
Interrupting Duty Calculation The Maximum Symmetrical Interrupting Capability for a Symmetrical Current-Rated CB is the maximum rms current of the symmetrical AC and DC component, which the CB can interrupt regardless of how low the operating voltage is. The interrupting fault currents for the MV & HV circuit breakers is equal to 1.5-4 cycles short circuit current. For a system other than of 60 Hz adjust the calculated X/R as follows:
( X / R) mod =
(X/R) * 60 System Frequency (Hz)
The following steps are used to calculate the circuit breaker interrupting. There are three options: 1. 2. 3. All Remote i.e. NACD =1.0. This is the most conservative solution; All Local; i.e. NACD =0 Adjusted, this is based on actual calculations.
Determine if the generator is Local or Remote; Calculate total remote contribution, total local contribution, then the NACD (the current is obtained by using the (1.5-4) cycle network impedance Calculate NACD (No AC Decrement) ratio
NACD = Iremote (Itotal - Ilocal) Itotal (Iremote + Ilocal) (EQ - 3)

Calculate the Multiplying factor based on the fault location (MFr, or MFl) Remote If Generator current contribution to fault is less than 40% of a generator terminal fault then this generator is Remote, or equivalent impedance to generation terminals is > 1.5 times the Generator Zdv. For remote fault the multiplying factor is MFr:

STANDARD RATINGS FOR LOW VOLTAGE CIRCUIT BREAKERS (LV-CBS) For Low-Voltage CBs (LV-CBs) the time of short circuit current interruption occurs within the sub transient time interval. However, the interrupting capabilities of unfused LV-CBs are sensitive to the maximum peak magnitude of the total /asymmetrical fault current. If the device library does not have a value for X/R then the following default values are used as default by the EDSA program:

STANDARD RATINGS FOR LOW/HIGH VOLTAGE FUSES, AND SWITCHES The LVFs interrupting capability is the maximum symmetrical rms current which the fuse can interrupt and still remain intact. While the fuse has a symmetrical current rating it can also interrupt the DC component up to a value based on its test X/R ratio. The interrupting capabilities of LV-Fs are classified by the UL according to symmetrical current ratings in rms Amperes. In some rare cases the fuse asymmetrical rating is provided. Evaluation procedure: 1. Calculate the cycle interrupting short circuit (Isym,rms). 2. Calculate Iasym: Iasym,adj = MFasym*Isym(1/2 Cyc)
If the fuse is symmetrical rated, then MFasym is calculated using the following formula:

Series Fault: Series fault types (one phase open, two phases open, and unequal series impedances) with or without neutral unbalance are supported in the EDSAs short circuit program. The series fault types are shown in the below figure. It should be noted that series faults are meaningful only if pre-fault load has been taken into account (i.e. load flow solution is considered). For series faults, the equivalent voltage at the opening point is computed from the pre-fault system current at the unbalance point. The default fault impedances Za, Zb, and Zn are:
For one phase open (phase A), Default values: Zb=Zn=0.0 +j0.0 For two phases open (phases B and C) Default values: Za=Zn=0.0+j0.0 For Series Unbalance (phases A, B, and C) Default values: Za=Zb=Zn=0.0+j0.0

The rms short circuit currents values at 30 Cycle are calculated at a selected Bus/Buses or at All Buses as per user bus selection (on the short circuit options dialog or directly onto the drawing). Notes:
It is assumed that the negative sequence impedance of a machine is equal to its positive sequence impedance in all the unbalanced fault calculations. Generators are modeled by their positive, negative, and zero sequence reactance; Short circuit current contributions from motors are ignored. Generator, motor, and transformer grounding types and winding connections are taken into consideration while building up the system positive, negative, and zero sequence networks.
The Results are listed in the Partial Text Report, as presented below:

Three-phase Faults IEC 61363 Method
From the Short Circuit Analysis program pick-up list, select AC IEC 61363 to perform a three-phase fault study per IEC61363 Standard. This option calculates the instantaneous values of the AC, DC and total short circuit current and TDC time constant as well for short circuit at all system buses. The results are tabulated as a function of T/2. Generators are modeled by their positive sequence sub transient reactance, and motors are modeled by their locked-rotor impedance. Their subtransient and transient time constants and dc time constants are also considered in the calculations. The user can display the results using the standard report format, annotate results on the one line diagram, and plot the short circuit results varying with time. In order to display the short circuit results varying with time, only one bus can be faulted at a time. Graphical Display
