transient or steady state values for fault analysis

[wonderchi]

Hi,

I am performing fault analysis using SKM. Books often associate fault methods by finding thenevin equivalent and then using ohms law to find the fault current. And thats what i have been doing. Are the results then steady state values.

If so, how would transient analysis come into fault analysis?

Hi,

the above question should be made clear as follows:

I know that from steady state fault analysis, it gives you the maximum and minimum fault levels which sets a benchmark for rating protective equipments. But how will fault 'transient' analysis help in rating protective equipments.
