sources of information on short circuit current calculations 1

[inductionrotor]

I am interested in finding sources of information - books, articles, etc. that provide clear and straight forward explanations of short circuit calculations on both three phase and single phase distribution systems. Any help is appreciated.

Suggestion: Check:
E.g. SKM, Inc. (DAPPER, A-FAULT, etc.), OTI, Inc. (ETAP), EDSA, etc.
These businesses have their web sites.

http://www.etap.com

http://www.edsa.com

for more info. They have manuals that support the software and tech support. They are informative too.

I really like the IEEE Red Book as a starting point. Also see General Electric GET-3550 - I think it on their website. It is a good basic reference.

Also see

for info on ANSI Breaker ratings.

I like the GE publication recommended by dpc and linked by cuky.

If you can get your hands on it, the Westinghouse T&D book has some good stuff on SC analysis. I particularly like the positive, negative, and zero sequence equivalents they list.

mpparent,
The Westinghouse T&D book has been revised and re-published by ABB and includes the entire book on CD-ROM as well as hardbound. This is the 5th revision and it's about $250.00 (US)

Suggestion: Please, notice that the GE link in Cuky2000 posting is very similar to Reference:

I am using a very user-friendly software that I downloaded from following web site. It is good for voltage drop and short circuit calculations:

Good luck!
