Hello all,
How does a higher available fault current provide better voltage regulation?
I was watching a presentation on a System Analysis - Load Flow Study. The presenter had a slide regarding voltage regulation and that it is the percent difference between the voltage at a certain point in the system at no-load and full load. The presenter mentioned that a higher available fault current provides better voltage regulation but did not elaborate. My guess is why the higher available fault current equals better voltage regulation is because there is less impedance in the system and therefore less voltage drop at the point being analyzed. Is my guess correct, or is there more to the voltage regulation in a load flow study? Thank you so much for your attention and participation.
