Notes -
The calculations are as per ICEA P-32-382. The calculations assume that all heat generated remains in the metal. The duration of a
short circuit is considered to be up to approximately 2 seconds. The indicated short circuit value shown on this graph for durations
longer than 2 seconds should be used with caution. The time shown is calculated for a given RMS fault current to bring the conductor
to a temperature that will not cause damage to the conductor shield or the insulation. The calculations are based on a cross-sectional
area of 211600 cmil of Copper starting at an initial temperature of 90 C, and a final temperature of 250 C. The calculations utilize
an absolute temperature of resisitvity of 234 and an ICEA calculation factor of 0.0297 The system frequency is 60 Hz

The curves assume that all heat generated remains in the metal.
The time shown is that calculated for a given RMS fault current to bring the metallic shield to a temperature
that will not cause damage to the insulation shield or cable jacket.
The calculations are as per ICEA P-45-482 using an "M factor" of 0.063 corresponding to a 5-15 kV rated
cable, with a conductor temperature of 90 and a metallic shield starting temperature of 85 C and a
metallic shield ending temperature of 200
