SCC Calc

The document contains calculations to determine short circuit fault currents at different points in an electrical system for a printing press. It first calculates the short circuit current from the transformer primary to be 39,550 amps. It then calculates the fault current from the transformer to a downstream point to be 34,357 amps, taking into account cable impedance factors. Finally, it calculates the fault current from that point to another point further downstream to be 20,991 amps, and notes a motor adds an additional 3,464 amps of current.
