DE59010

b Three-phase short-circuit Ssc = 1.1 U Isc 3 = Isc = 1.1 U with 3 Zsc U2 Zsc R2 + X2

Zsc =

b Upstream network Z= U2 Ssc R = X

0.3 at 6 kV 0.2 at 20 kV 0.1 at 150 kV

b Overhead lines R= L S
X = 0.4 /km X = 0.3 /km = 1.8 10-6 cm = 2.8 10-6 cm = 3.3 10-6 cm HV MV/LV Copper Aluminium Almlec

U2 Sr

Xsc (%) 100


Transient 15 to 25% 25 to 35% Permanent 200 to 350% 70 to 120%

Subtransient 10 to 20% 15 to 25%

b Transformers
(Order of magnitude: for real values, refer to data given by manufacturer)

E.g.:

20 kV/410 V; Sr = 630 kVA; Usc = 4% 63 kV/11 kV; Sr = 10 MVA; Usc = 9% Z () = U2 Sr

Xsc (%) 100

Sr (kVA) Usc (%)

100 to 3150 4 to 7.5 MV/LV

5000 to 5000 8 to 12 HV/LV

b Cables X = 0.10 at 0.15 W/km Three-phased or single-phased b Busbars X = 0.15 /km
