Data Entry for SC

1. Open the ETAP file – SCExample1/SC-ANSI-Example-1
2. Enter the following data to the components for SC calculations

2. Run Device Duty calculation

• Study Case – FaultBus4
• Configuration – Normal, T3 Down, T4 Down
• Run Device Duty Calculation
• Check OLV display (Where and how can you set OLV display?)
• Check report

3. Run Device Duty calculation

• Study Case – FaultAll-A
• Configuration – Normal, T3 Down, T4 Down
• Run Device Duty Calculation
• Check OLV display – Compare OLV display against the one in 2.
• Check report

4. Run Device Duty calculation

• Study Case – FaultAll-B
• Configuration – Normal, T3 Down, T4 Down
• Run Device Duty Calculation
• Check OLV display
• Check report

5. Questions:
• Which study case results in the worst SC current?
• Which configuration results in the worst SC current?

Verify and Size Equipment Rating

System File – SCExample1/SC-ANSI-Example-1
1. Factors to be considered
• System Configuration – PD status and Load configurations
• Data Revision
• Study Case – Vf, X/R, rating Adjustment, etc

2. Verify devices with existing settings

• Bus – Bus1 and Bus 7
• PD – CB5, CB8, CB10, CB11, and CB23
• Are there any problems with the existing settings? If yes, fix them.
• Run SC with the configuration and study case that give the worst case.

3. Select rating/size for some devices

• Bus –Bus 5 and Bus 6
• PD – CBs connected to Bus5 and Bus6 (CB1, CB12, CB13, CB14, CB15, CB16)
• Run SC with the configuration and study case that give the worst case.

Suggested Ratings for Some Components

Element Parameters

4. Select rating/size for some devices

• Bus –Bus 3, and Bus8
• PD – CBs connected to Bus1, and Bus7
• Steps for device sizing:
• Identify the worst SC case – combination of revision, configuration & study case.
• Run SC calculation for the case and determine fault current.
• Select a device size based on the fault currents.
• Run SC calculation again to verify device rating.

Unbalanced SC Calculation
System File – SCExample1/SC-ANSI-Example-1
1. Set up Ground Connection
• Set up layered protection – XFMR Delta on HV side and Y grounded on LV side.
• 13.8 kV – 100 Amp Resistance grounding
• 4.16 kV – 10 Amp Resistance grounding
• 0.48 kV – Delta/Y solid-grounded
• Utility – Solid grounded
• All loads – ungrounded

2. Run unbalanced calculations using existing configuration and study cases

• What are the differences between ½. 1.5-4, and 30 cycles?

3. Check Result
• Check result on OLV – change display option to show different fault calculation results.
• Check result on crystal report.
• Check effect of grounding connection type and value on zero sequence current.
