Description
This is an example to run short-circuit studies for a system with different configurations and operating
conditions. The system contains the elements with most contributions towards short-circuit.
Purpose
The purpose of this example is to understand the impedance and ratings data required to run short-circuit
analysis. This example covers 3-phase device duty and unbalanced short-circuit calculations plus it
requires analysis of the results by inspection of the one-line results and reports. The final section of the
exercise deals with the sizing and selection of protective device equipment ratings.
Setup
Load the project file named “SC-ANSI-Example-1” located under the directory Examples/SCExample1
in Short-Circuit chapter of the workshop notes. Use the default ETAP library.
Procedure
Figure 1: OLV1
Figure 2: Network 2
Figure 3: Cmtr1
Configuration Setup
Normal Open tie-CB CB1 and close all other CBs.
T3 Down Close CB1 and open CBs on both sides of T3
T4 Down Close CB1 and open CBs on both sides of T4
3. Create and set up the following study cases: (If steps 1 and 2 have not been completed, please open
project “SC-ANSI-Example-2”, otherwise, continue using project “SC-Example-1” for step 3).
(Note: Here is an example how the analyzer window looks like, you don’t need to match the results
above)
3. Check Result
Check result on OLV – change display option to show different fault calculation results
Check result on crystal report
Check result on ANSI short circuit duty Analyzer
Check effect of grounding connection type and value on zero sequence current
