Fault level — prospective short-circuit current

Enter the supply transformer and any added series impedance to get a preliminary three-phase fault current (Ik3) and peak. Deterministic from first-principles impedance; the full fault study and device breaking capacities are confirmed by the engineer.

Prospective Ik3

15.16 kA

symmetrical 3-phase rms

Peak (ip)

38.6 kA

κ = 1.8 assumed

Source impedance

16

transformer 16 mΩ + added

Preliminary — IEC 60909 simplified. Transformer-source fault level only. It ignores motor contribution, the real network X/R ratio and upstream HV source impedance, and the peak factor κ is an assumption. A competent engineer confirms the fault study with the actual network data and checks device breaking/making capacities before issue.
