Short-Circuit Analysis of Electrical Power Systems
The reliability and safety of electric power distribution systems depend on accurate and thorough knowledge of short-circuit fault currents that can be present, and on the ability of protective devices to satisfactorily interrupt these currents.
This two-day course provides attendees with an in-depth review of fault analysis problems in utility, industrial, and commercial power systems and provide the means for solving such problems, and discusses the impact of short-circuit fault currents on equipment selection. The course also highlights the differences in the computational approaches recommended in IEEE and IEC standards. A commercially available software program for performing fault analysis — PSAF-Fault or similar — is used by the presenter to solve example problems.
Who Should Attend
Electrical engineers involved in the planning, design, operation, and maintenance of electrical distribution systems and/or selection of equipment used in utility, industrial, and commercial distribution systems.
