BS - Short Circuit Tab

This tab displays details about source equipment, impedance and the calculated impedance values.

Cable Impedance details are displayed in the section shown below.

Note:
Values with an asterisk have been calculated using the Standards table data rather than Cables Catalogue data in Electrical Wiring Manager. Therefore as a general rule asterisk values are less accurate.

In order to size cable under short circuit conditions, the following are provided.

Used to enter the limit for duration, from 1 to 5 seconds:

Used to select the initial temperature from a list of values:

The K Factor field displays the short circuit calculation:

The Results field displays the minimum core size of the cable under short circuit conditions.
