Point #1 Description:

Fault Current Available At Source ... : 200

One Way Conductor Length (Ft) ....... : 125
Quantity Parallel Conductors Per Phase: 1
Conductor Size ...................... : 400 Kcmil
Line To Line Voltage At This Point .. : 240
Phase ............................... : 3
Conductor/Raceway: Copper conductors / Nonmetallic Raceway

SOURCE S.C. --------- FACTORS --------- SHORT CIRCUIT

POINT # AMPS C F M AMPS AT FAULT

1 200 20408 0.0088303 0.991247 198

Formulas Used In This Calculation:

C Factor = 1/Z Per Ft = 1/.000049 = 20408

1.73 x L x I 1.73 x 125 x 200

F Factor = -------------- = ---------------------- = .0088303
PC x C x E 1 x 20408 x 240

1 1
M Factor = -------------- = ------------ = .991247
1 + F Factor 1 + 8.830279E-03

Short Circuit Amps At Fault = I x M = 200 x .991247 = 198

Where:
Z Per Foot = Conductor impedance per foot
L = Conductor length in feet
I = Fault current available at source
PC = Quantity parallel conductors per phase
C = C factor
E = Line to line voltage
