Short-Circuit CalculationsShortcut Method i

Determination of Short-Circuit Current
Note 1: Transformer impedance generally relates to self-ventilated rating (e.g., with OA/FA/FOA transformer use OA base). ii
Note 2: kV refers to line-to-line voltage in kilovolts.
Note 3: Z refers to line-to-neutral impedance of system to fault where R + jX = Z.
Note 4: When totaling the components of system Z, arithmetic combining of impedances as ohms Z. per unit Z. etc., is considered a 1
shortcut or approximate method; proper combining of impedances (e.g., source, cables transformers, conductors, etc.). should use
individual R and X components. This Total Z = Total R + j Total X (see IEEE Red Book Standard No. 141).

Short-circuit capacity values shown correspond to kVA and impedances shown in this table. For impedances other than these, short-circuit currents
are inversely proportional to impedance. 18
The motors short-circuit current contributions are computed on the basis of motor characteristics that will give four times normal current.
For 208V, 50% motor load is assumed while for other voltages 100% motor load is assumed. For other percentages, the motor short-circuit
current will be in direct proportion. 19

Application Description
The PXEV is a versatile tool suited
for a wide range of customer

applications. Two basic examples
are presented below.

Schools and Dormitories
An excellent application for the PXEV
is a Schools and/or Dormitory
7
scenario where each elementary
school in a school district or college
dorm (building) on a campus has a
8
three-phase main meter. The PXEV
could be used to graphically compare
each building, thus determining which

projects are planned and engineers

need to determine if additional power
transformers need to be purchased/
installed. In the case where more

10 IQ 150S/250S meters fit the bill. These
ultra-compact meters are ideal for sur-
face mounting next to a selected piece
11 of equipment for energy monitoring.
Requiring far less space than other
meters with similar functionality,
12 and offering a NEMA 12 enclosure
and a large, easy-to-read faceplate,
consistent with other Eaton meter
13 models, these meters are designed
with knockouts for easy retrofit
installation.
14
Most meters in this class have small or
dark displays that can be hard to see,
15 especially from a distance. Eatons
IQ 150S/250S meters have a large,
bright red, three-line LED display, each
16 line more than a half-inch tall. This
display is very easy to read, even if the
meter is installed at a height or distance.
17 Using the keypad and menus on the
local display, users can display a
variety of electrical system values or

Loss of Excitation
i Loss of field protection or loss of
excitation is used to avoid unstable
operation, potential loss of synchro-
ii nism, and possible damage to
synchronous generators. When a
synchronous generator loses its field,
1 the generator can continue to generate
power as an induction generator,
provided that it can obtain its
2 excitation from the other machines on
the system. During this condition, the
rotor will quickly overheat due to the
3 slip frequency currents induced in it.
Loss of excitation in one machine
could jeopardize the operation of other
4 machines beyond their capability, and
also the stability of the entire system.
The EGR-5000 supports the two typical
5 distance relaying schemes used for
detecting the loss excitation. The two
schemes differ mainly in that scheme 1

General Description
Application Description i
Eatons VacClad-W metal-clad
switchgear with Type VCP-W vacuum
breakers provides centralized control ii
and protection of medium voltage
power equipment and circuits in
industrial, commercial and utility 1
installations involving generators,
motors, feeder circuits, and transmis-
sion and distribution lines. 2
VacClad-W switchgear is available in
maximum voltage ratings from 4.76 kV 3
through 38 kV, and interrupting ratings
as shown below. VacClad-W offers a
total design concept of cell, breaker 4
and auxiliary equipment, which can be
assembled in various combinations to
satisfy user application requirements. 5
Two-high breaker arrangements
are standard up to 15 kV. One-high
arrangements can be furnished 6
when required.

the minimum opening time plus the assumed minimum relay time of 1/2 cycle (8.33 ms for 60 Hz).

The actual loss, of course, will depend
on the actual current being carried by
15 the breaker. If the full load current of
the load connected to that 1200 A
breaker, for example, is only 200 A,
16 the heat-loss in that compartment
will be much less. By simple I x I x R
calculations, one can easily calculate
17 actual loss at 200 A as = 600 x (200/

in case of lineup consisting of many

that is the case, then one can further

wattage given for each component is
at its full rating. For example, the chart
13 shows 600 W for 1200 A breaker. It
simply means an estimated 600 W
loss in breaker in a 1200 A, 5/15 kV
14 compartment when the circuit breaker
is carrying full 1200 A. The actual loss,
of course, will depend on the actual
15 current being carried by the breaker.
If the full load current of the load
connected to that 1200 A breaker, for
16 example, is only 200 A, the heat-loss in
that compartment will be much less.
By simple I x I x R calculations,
17 one can easily calculate actual loss
at 200 A as = 600 x (200/1200) x
(200/1200) = 16.67 W. Also, in case of
18 lineup consisting of many feeders,
all feeders might not be carrying or
supplying loads at all times. If that is
19 the case, then one can further reduce
total watt loss for the lineup by apply-
ing a utilization factor.
