Our Short Circuit Analysis Process

01

Utility Data Collection

We obtain available fault current data from the serving utility and verify transformer impedances.

02

System One-Line Development

We build or verify the electrical one-line diagram showing all sources, transformers, buses, and cables.

03

ETAP Model Construction

Our engineers model the complete power system in ETAP including all impedances and source contributions.

04

Fault Current Calculations

We calculate three-phase and line-to-ground fault currents at every bus per ANSI/IEEE standards.

05

Equipment Rating Comparison

We compare calculated fault currents against equipment interrupting and withstand ratings.

06

Report and Recommendations

We deliver a complete report identifying deficiencies and recommending corrective actions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Short Circuits in facilities are the result of damaged wires, equipment, loose connections, undersized cables, and so on. A short circuit study will reveal the potential areas of high risk and help you secure your facility by and large.
The cost of a short circuit analysis in the USA depends on the size of the facility. You can contact our executive to get a free quote for your facility.
Short Circuit analyses are done before load flow in the power system study and analysis technique in the USA.
A short circuit study is conducted when there are major changes in the system. On the other hand, regular studies can help locate the areas of potential faults before they strike. If you feel like your facility needs one, please contact Carelabs for further information.
