    Transformer Maximum Secondary Available Fault current

    davidbeach, sorry my wording above, i meant fault through transformer gets reduced by grid impedance plus self impedance. 3120/(0.061+(480/56398))= 44892 which is less than transformer through fault capacity. So why to match with utility SC value?

    MV Switchgear Short Circuit rating for 3s

    Thank you waross & bacon4life for your input. Waross, Since it is "SC" rating that has been rated for 3s for mv switchgear, i believe transients are not much of a concern here. So far i have seen for any sc(phase/earth) which is quite a high value 50P is set to trip instantaneously, in some...

    Transformer Maximum Secondary Available Fault current

    Wouldn't utility fault get reduced by added transformer impedance on its own path, ie utility impedance (grid U/Isc) + transformer impedance?

    MV Switchgear Short Circuit rating for 3s

    Why do MV Switchgear are rated for short circuit rating 3s? I have seen (limited to my experience) tripping time in relays is within 1S for faults. Overcurrent it may be more based on current value, but that doesn't a concern to SC rating. Even if I consider NGR current limiting to much lower...
