PU Z cable = 0.029956681

SYMMETRICAL FAULT CURRENT AT PANEL BOARD

XFB ISC = VA base

( V base x PU Z cable )

ISC = 4552.027523 A

THEREFORE USE DISCONNECT WITH RATING GREATER THAN 4552.027523 AIC

SYMMETRICAL FAULT CURRENT AT BUS BAR TAP POINT

ISC = VA base

SERVICE DROP 49.216 0.024165056

FEEDER CONDUCTOR 49.216 0.024165056

Demand Current = 55.22

VD = (SERVICE DROP RESISTANCE + FEEDER CONDUCTOR RESISTANCE) X DEMAND CURRENT

VD = 2.668789 V

220 v x 0.03 = 6.6 V

Therefore 2.67 V < 6.6 V and and less than 3% VD
