A Short Circuit Study is used in tandem with an Arc Flash Study to find vulnerabilities in an electrical system and eliminate downtime.

Why do you need a
Short Circuit Study?

Short circuit studies are an analysis to determine if changes can be made to mitigate arc flash hazards. A short circuit study is a report used to determine the fault current available throughout the electrical system and the fault current it would experience if a short circuit were to happen.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions

What is needed to perform a short circuit study?

The information needed for a short circuit study includes the one-line diagram of the electrical system, equipment specifications, conductor sizes, transformer data, and protective device settings.

A short circuit study assesses the status of each device in an electrical distribution system, including service equipment, breakers, branch panel boards, and connected equipment, along with their fault currents.

The three phases consist of data collection and system modeling, short circuit calculation, and analysis and recommendations.

Data Collection and System Modeling
In the data collection and system modeling phase, we gather all relevant information about the electrical system, including one-line diagrams, equipment specifications, transformer data, conductor sizes, and protective device settings. This data is essential for creating a detailed model of the electrical system.

Short Circuit Calculation
During the short circuit calculation phase, we utilize the electrical system model to conduct tests aimed at identifying potential fault currents that may pose risks in the event of a short circuit throughout the system.

Analysis and Recommendations
In the analysis and recommendations phase, we examine our results to identify potential hazards, verify that equipment is properly rated, and evaluate the coordination of proactive devices.
