Electrical
Fault Current and Coordination Studies
Three I Engineering can come into your
plant and determine the adequacy of your existing electrical
distribution equipment and the required short circuit rating
requirements of new electrical distribution equipment by making an
electrical fault current study. Due to the increasing available
fault current provided by the electrical utility company, the
interrupting capacity of older equipment sometimes becomes
inadequate. Also, specifications of new electrical distribution may
need to be modified due to increased available fault current.
The available fault current at each
distribution equipment location can be determined by making a fault
current study. Presently we use our computer with a specially
designed fault current program to aid in the numerous calculations
required to make a study.
Building 41 Fault Current
Study
Bristol-Myers Squibb
Evansville, Indiana
This study determined the available short circuit current at all
critical points.
4160V Fault Current Study
Deaconess Hospital
Evansville, Indiana
This study determined the available short circuit current and
the interrupting capacity of all equipment connected to the
4150V portion of their electrical system. This study also
determined the degree of overcurrent device coordination in the
system.
