Fault Current Calculation Guide

1. The document calculates fault currents at different points in an electrical system from a 33kV source to a motor terminal. It calculates the fault current at the 33kV switchgear source (9.62 kA), the proposed substation 33kV switchgear (8.643 kA), the secondary of a 8MVA transformer (7.58 kA), the 6.6kV panel (7.553 kA), and the motor terminal (6.917 kA). 2. It takes into account the impedances of cables, transformers, and other equipment between each point of calculation. Resistance and reactance values of cables are provided. 3. Selected fault current ratings for equipment are provided
