Purpose of Short-Circuit
Studies
•A Short-Circuit Study can be used to determine
any or all of the following:
–Verify protective device close and latch capability
–Verify protective device interrupting capability
–Protect equipment from large mechanical forces
(maximum fault kA)
–I
2
t protection for equipment (thermal stress)
–Selecting ratings or settings for relay coordination

Types of Short-Circuit Faults

©1996-2009 Operation Technology, Inc. – Workshop Notes: Short-Circuit IEC Slide 5
Types of SC Faults
•Three-Phase Ungrounded Fault
•Three-Phase Grounded Fault
•Phase to Phase Ungrounded Fault
•Phase to Phase Grounded Fault
•Phase to Ground Fault
Fault Current
•I
L-G
can range in utility systems from a few percent to
possibly 115 % ( if X
o
< X
1
) of I
3-phase
(85% of all faults).
•In industrial systems the situation I
L-G
> I
3-phase
is rare.
Typically I
L-G
@ .87 * I
3-phase
•In an industrial system, the three-phase fault condition
is frequently the only one considered, since this type of
fault generally results in Maximum current.

Types of Short-Circuits
•Near-To-Generator Short-Circuit
–This is a short-circuit condition to which at least
one synchronous machine contributes a
prospective initial short-circuit current which is
more than twice the generator’s rated current, or
a short-circuit condition to which synchronous
and asynchronous motors contribute more than
5% of the initial symmetrical short-circuit current
( I"k) without motors.

Types of Short-Circuits
•Far-From-Generator Short-Circuit
–This is a short-circuit condition during which the
magnitude of the symmetrical ac component of
available short-circuit current remains essentially
constant.

Question
What is ANSI Shift Curve?

©1996-2009 Operation Technology, Inc. – Workshop Notes: Short-Circuit IEC Slide 86
Answer
•For delta-delta connected transformers, with
line-to-line faults on the secondary side, the
curve must be reduced to 87% (shift to the
left by a factor of 0.87)
•For delta-wye connection, with single line-to-
ground faults on the secondary side, the
curve values must be reduced to 58% (shift
to the left by a factor of 0.58)

Recommended Instantaneous Setting:
If the recommended setting criteria cannot be met, or where more sensitive
protection is desired, the in-stantaneous relay (or a second relay) can be set more
sensitively if delayed by a timer. This permits the asymmetricalasymmetrical starting component
to decay out. A typical setting for this is:

Answer

©1996-2009 Operation Technology, Inc. – Workshop Notes: Short-Circuit IEC Slide 127
Overload Relay / Heater
•When the temperature at the combination motor starter is more than
±10 °C (±18 °F) different than the temperature at the motor, ambient
temperature correction of the motor current is required.
•An adjustment is required because the output that a motor can safely
deliver varies with temperature.
•The motor can deliver its full rated horsepower at an ambient
temperature specified by the motor manufacturers, normally + 40 °C.
At high temperatures (higher than + 40 °C) less than 100% of the
normal rated current can be drawn from the motor without shortening
the insulation life.
•At lower temperatures (less than + 40 °C) more than 100% of the
normal rated current could be drawn from the motor without shortening
the insulation life.

•Time margins should be maintained between T/C
curves
•Adjustment should be made for CB opening time
•Shorter time intervals may be used for solid state
relays
•Upstream relay should have the same inverse T/C
characteristic as the downstream relay (CO-8 to
CO-8) or be less inverse (CO-8 upstream to CO-6
downstream)
•Extremely inverse relays coordinates very well with
CLFs

Recloser
•Recloser protects electrical transmission systems from temporary
voltage surges and other unfavorable conditions.
•Reclosers can automatically "reclose" the circuit and restore normal
power transmission once the problem is cleared.
•Reclosers are usually designed with failsafe mechanisms that prevent
them from reclosing if the same fault occurs several times in
succession over a short period. This insures that repetitive line faults
don't cause power to switch on and off repeatedly, since this could
cause damage or accelerated wear to electrical equipment.
•It also insures that temporary faults such as lightning strikes or
transmission switching don't cause lengthy interruptions in service.

Triplen Harmonics

©1996-2009 Operation Technology, Inc. – Workshop Notes: Short-Circuit IEC Slide 216
Winding Connections
•Delta winding provides ampere turn balance
•Triplen Harmonics cannot flow
•When currents are balanced Triplens
behave as Zero Sequence currents
•Used in Utility Distribution Substations
•Delta winding connected to Transmission
•Balanced Triplens can flow
•Present in equal proportions on both sides
•Many loads are served in this fashion

©1996-2009 Operation Technology, Inc. – Workshop Notes: Short-Circuit IEC Slide 217
Implications
•Neutral connections are susceptible to overheating
when serving single-phase loads on the Y side that
have high 3rd Harmonic
•Measuring current on delta side will not show the
triplens and therefore do not give a true idea of the
heating the transformer is subjected to
•The flow of triplens can be interrupted by appropriate
isolation transformer connection
•Removing the neutral connection in one or both Y
windings blocks the flow of Triplen harmonic current
•Three legged core transformers behave as if they have
a “phantom” delta tertiary winding

Constant Power Loads
•In Load Flow calculations induction,
synchronous and lump loads are treated
as constant power loads.
•The power output remains constant even
if the input voltage changes (constant
kVA).
•The lump load power output behaves like
a constant power load for the specified %
motor load.

©1996-2009 Operation Technology, Inc. – Workshop Notes: Short-Circuit IEC Slide 397
•In Load Flow calculations Static Loads, Lump Loads (%
static), Capacitors and Harmonic Filters and Motor
Operated Valves are treated as Constant Impedance
Loads.
•The Input Power increases proportionally to the square of
the Input Voltage.
•In Load Flow Harmonic Filters may be used as capacitive
loads for Power Factor Correction.
•MOVs are modeled as constant impedance loads
because of their operating characteristics.

Last 10 load types in the Panel Code Factor Table are user-defined
Load Type is used to determine the Code Factors used in calculating the total
panel load
External loads are classified as motor load or static load according to the element
type
For External links the load status is determined from the connected load’s demand
factor status

Panel Code Factors
Code demand load depends on Panel Code Factors
The first fourteen have fixed formats per NEC 1999
Code demand load calculation for internal loads are done
for each types of load separately and then summed up
