Available Fault Current Calculation: Project Name Your Company Name

This document calculates the available fault current at a service entrance based on utility supply information and service equipment ratings. It determines the utility fault current is 8,152 amperes. It then uses the point-to-point method to calculate a multiplier to account for impedance in the conductors between the utility and service entrance, resulting in a final available fault current of 7,788 amperes at the service equipment terminals.
