Short Circuit Study

Why Short Circuit Study Require? | Importance of Short Circuit Study

During electrical power system design it is important to calculate the maximum current passes through system during short circuit. For the reliable system design, it is necessary to design all equipment, cables & switchgears to withstand & can carry the fault current during short circuit. With the short circuit study result, you can design power system & select the proper switchgear, equipment, cable’s ratings with proper insulation class & withstand capacity of it. Without short circuit study, you don’t get the actual current details which passes through the system and you make the mistake to determine the actual ratings of switchgears & equipment. Due to this mistake, on event of short circuit, there is significant financial losses associated with power outage& failure of the equipment. And in some cases, like this hospital, cement plant, chemical plant and many more process industries where it could be worse due power interruption.

Whenever in any industries, who plan Addition of new source (grid or generator), Expansion of the plant, system, process in the exiting distributed system. It is necessary to required power system studies for the system for correct operation of circuit breakers, it’s capacity, relaying settings & coordination. Here in this situation, many clients make mistake to avoid power system study on his changes in the plant. In resultant many, he get abnormality in system, malfunctioning & get power outage in system.

We have received many times this type of complain from clients. Here at the iPower Switchgear Experience team, we help customers to solve all types of power system problems, from power quality problems to design issues.

It is recommended to have relay coordination of the entire plant if the following events are expected:

  • Change in system fault level
  • Addition of new source (grid or generator)
  • Expansion of the plant

Required Short Circuit Study For:

  • To calculate the fault current
  • To calculate & evaluate Arc Flash study
  • Selection of Switchgears, cables& equipment
  • To set relaying settings for coordination
  • Reliability of system

We Provide different power system analysis services which are listed below:

We manage free training on operation, power system study with simulation software for your engineering staff to aware such incident due to improper selection, settings of relay, malfunctioning of circuit breakers in your plant.
