Available Fault Current Calculation: Project Name Your Company Name

This document calculates the available fault current at a utility substation and service equipment. It determines the short circuit current (Isca) at the transformer to be 32,528 amperes based on the transformer rating. It then uses the point-to-point method to calculate the fault current at the service equipment, found to be 29,813 amperes line-to-line and 31,040 amperes line-to-neutral.

Available Fault Current Calculation


by:John Sokolik Ver. 2017
Utility Fault Current amperes kVA = 1000 [email protected]
E = 380
I = kVA x 1000 = trans. FLA trans. FLA = 1519
E x 1.732

Isca = trans. FLA x 100 x PF PF = 90%


transformer Z = Z = 5.19%
Isca = ampere short-circuit current RMS symmetrical. Isca = 32,528 amperes

Point to Point Method


Length (distance) L = 20
1.732 x L x I (ASC) Isca = 32,528
'f ' factor =
N x C x E L-N # conductors per phase N = 4
Phase conductor constant C = 26,706 Phase Conductor
Volt Line to Line EL-L = 380 Volt
f = 0.091
Neutral conductor constant C = 26,706 Neutral Conductor
Multiplier Volt Line to Neutral EL-N = 220 Volt
f = 0.048
M= 1
1+f Line to Line M = 0.917
Line to Neutral M = 0.954
Fault Current at Service Equipment

Isca x M = fault current at terminals of main disconnect L- L = 29,813 amperes


Isca x M = fault current at terminals of main disconnect L- N = 31,040 amperes
