Conductor Short Circuit Capacity for 1 sec:

1. Number of Copper wire for conductor = 61

2. Diameter of each copper wire = 3.231 mm (approx.)
3. Area of total conductor (A) = (0.7854 x 3.2312 x 61) = 500.14 mm2
4. Temperature prior for short circuit (T0) = 90°C
5. Temperature during for short circuit (Tmax) = 250°C
6. Value of “ K “ factor for above (T0) and (Tmax) = 0.143
