 Short circuit calculations equipment Section 10

• Short circuit calculations of the transformers, Induction

motors : Fault calculations are one of the most common
types of calculation carried out during the design and
analysis of electrical systems.
• These calculations determine the maximum current
flowing through circuit elements during abnormal
conditions – short circuits and earth faults.
• This will also help us to calculate the size of the earth
conductor as per IS 3043( Details can be seen in
specification.),Insulation values of windings etc.
 Short circuit calculation on 100KVA Transformer for Example

• Transformer rating in kVA., =100 KVA

• Impedance (Z%): Z= 5% impedance.
• The transformer short circuit current is calculated as follows:
• I fault−actual= T/F Cap / √3×V×Z%
• where I fault = 100 KVA/ 1.732X 415 VX 5%= 2778 Amps
• Fault current on Secondary side of T/F at Full load
condition= 2.778 KA
• As per IS 3043, Cross Section Area of Earthing Conductor
• (A) =(If x √t) / K Where: t = Fault current Time (Second). K
= Material Constant. K = 205(copper)
• A= 2778 A/205= 13.55 Sq MM x 1.5 Factor of safety = 20
Sqmm= 6x 4mm Flat is adequate.

 What does the Earthing means

• “Earthing” means the provision of a safe path of electrical

current to ground, in order to protect structures, plant and
equipment ,and safety of human beings from the effects of stray
electrical current, and electrostatics discharge;

• Also by providing such an earth surface of uniform potential

under and surrounding the station, there can exist no difference
of potential in a short distance big enough to shock or injure an
attendant when short-circuits or other abnormal occurrences
take place.

 SECTION 16 PROTECTION AGAINST VOLTAGE SURGES
• Voltage surges is a sudden change in the operating conditions in
an electrical network causes transient phenomena to occur.
Transients may be generated may be by lightning and even normal
utility switching operations.
• Inside the home or business, transients are generated by motors
starting and stopping, fluorescent lighting, copiers, vending
machines, welding operations, and many other sources
• Section has been derived from IEC 61643-12-2008 ‘Low-voltage
surge protective devices — Part 12:
• Surge protective devices connected to low-voltage power
distribution systems — Selection and application principles’..
• Lightning is a high frequency electrical phenomenon which
produces voltage surges on all conductive elements, and especially
on electrical loads and wires.
 4.1 Voltage Surges Section 16-Part 1

• A voltage surge disturbs equipment and causes

electromagnetic radiation in the electrical circuits which is
likely to destroy the equipment.
• There are four types of voltage surges which may disturb
electrical installations and loads:
• a) Atmospheric voltage surges,
• b) Operating voltage surges,
• c) Transient overvoltage at industrial frequency,
• d) Voltage surges caused by electrostatic discharge
• E) Sudden load throw in the system.
Cl 4.3/Section 16 Basic Functions of Surge
Protection Devices (SPDs)
• During the occurrence of
surges: the SPD responds to
surges and diverting surge
current through it, to limit
the voltage to its protective
level.
• After the occurrence of
surges: the SPD recovers to
a high-impedance state after
the surges and extinguishes
any possible power follow
current.
• 4.1.1 Atmospheric Voltage
Surges
• Atmospheric voltage
surges, that is, lightning,
comes from the discharge
of electrical charges
accumulated in the
clouds.
• 4.1.2 Operating Voltage
Surges The opening of
protection devices (fuse,
circuit breaker), and the
opening or closing of
control devices (relays, Location at which the surge protector
contactors, etc). is installed
SECTION 17 GUIDELINES FOR POWER-FACTOR IMPROVEMENT

• Assistance has been derived from IS 7752 (Part 1) : 1975 ‘Guide

for the improvement of power factor in consumer installations:
Part 1 Low and medium supply voltages’.
• POWER FACTOR
• 4.1 The majority of ac electrical machines and equipment draw
from the supply an apparent power (kVA) which exceeds the
required useful power (kW).
• This is due to the reactive power (kVAR) necessary for alternating
magnetic field. The ratio of useful power (kW) to apparent power
(kVA) is termed the power factor of the load. The reactive power
is indispensable and constitutes an additional demand on the
system.
 Sec 17 /Part-1 Cl 4.3 Principle Causes of Lower
Power Factor
• 4.3 Principle Causes of Lower Power Factor
• 4.3.1 The following electrical equipment and apparatus have a
lower factor:
• a) Induction motors of all types particularly when they are under
loaded,
• b) Power transformers and voltage regulators,
• c) Arc welders,
• d) Induction furnaces and heating coils,
• e) Choke coils and magnetic systems, and
• f) Fluorescent and discharge lamps, neon signs, etc.
• 4.3.2 The principal cause of a low power factor is due to the
reactive power flowing in the circuit. The reactive power
depends on the inductance and capacitance of the apparatus
normally at no load conditions of inductive equipment.
• 4.4 Effect of Power Factor to Consumer
• 4.4.1 The disadvantages of low power factor are as follows:
• a) Overloading of cables and transformer,
• b) Decreased line voltage at point of application,
• c) Inefficient operation of plant, and
• d) Penal power rates by increased power demand.
 Section 17 Part 1 Power Factor
4.4.2 The advantages of high power factor are as
follows:
• a) Reduction in the current;
• b) Reduction in power cost;
• c) Reduced losses in the transformers and cables,
• d) Lower loading of transformers, switchgears, cables,
• e) Reduction in Maximum demand.
• f) Improvement in voltage conditions and apparatus
performance; and Ex : Agriculture motors.
• g) Reduction in voltage dips caused by welding and
similar equipment.
• 5.3 Capacitors for power factor improvement may be

arranged as described in IS 7752 (Part 1).

The successful operation of power factor improvement

depends very largely on the positioning of the capacitor on
the system. Ideal conditions are achieved when the highest
power factor is maintained under all load conditions.

The location of capacitors normally at load points or at the

generation point of RKVA.
 SECTION 18 ENERGY EFFICIENCY ASPECTS

• Energy conservation aims at eliminating the waste of energy and

minimization of losses. The Energy Conservation Act, 2001, has
been constituted by GOI to identify the Energy losses in
equipment and recommend the ways to plug the losses and to
increase the system efficiency.

• This Section provides guidance to the consumers of electrical

energy, with regard to the selection of equipment from energy
conservation point of view and on energy audits.
 Why Energy audit is required
• It is due to increase in Power tariffs every year and Electricity
bills.
• Increased demand in power sector as well as the consumer.
• Increased wastage in power due to innocence and ignorance.
• Increase in pollution and improper control methods for
pollution levels
• Reduction in fossil fuels across the world and non availability for
future generation
• 5.1 ‘Energy Audit’ means the verification, monitoring and
analysis of the use of energy including submission of a technical
report containing recommendations for improving energy
efficiency with cost benefit analysis and an action plan to
reduce energy consumption.
 Energy efficiency can be increased in the following equipment

• Induction motors
• Power and Distribution Transformer
• Cables
• Sub station equipment
• Lighting
• Boilers
• Air compressors
• Induction Furnaces
• Internal and external Lighting .
• Pumps and pump motors
• Domestic and agricultural motos
 Section 18 –Part 1
• 5 ENERGY AUDIT- Energy Managers-Energy Auditors-Process of
energy audit- Calculations of pay back period-report preparation
–Discussions with top management –Implementation of
recommendation made by Energy auditor.
• 5.4 Energy Conservation Building Code formulated by the
Bureau of Energy Efficiency and prescribed by the Central
Government shall be implemented for new buildings having
connected load of 500 kW and above or contract demand of 600
kVA and above, once the same or modified version has been
notified by the respective State Governments. List of energy
intensive industries and other establishments specified as
designated consumers is given in the Energy Conservation Act,
2001
