Short Circuit Current Calculations Introduction Several sections of the National Electrical Code relate to proper overcurrent pro- Normally, Short Circuit studies involve calculating a bolted 3-phase fault condition. This tection. Safe and reliable application of overcurrent protective devices based on can be characterized as all 3-phases bolted together to create a zero impedance these sections mandate that a Short Circuit study and a selective coordination study connection. This establishes a worst case (highest Current ) condition that results in be conducted. These sections include, among others: maximum three phase thermal and mechanical stress in the system. From this calculation , other types of fault conditions can be approximated. This worst case condi- Interrupting Rating tion should be used for interrupting rating, component protection and selective coordina- Component Protection tion.
