Jignesh sir, I am very thankful to you for providing a great material and educating all of us.

Sir I have a small doubt in short circuit current analysis.

Sir Why do we consider the same cable size(I.e.400 sq.mm aluminium) at all the sections( both H.T,L.T.) sides.
Please let me know my doubt sir thanking you…

Great article. As an electrician I struggled with this for a long time. If you have an I Phone there is s great App
called Transformer Pie that works out a trannies short circuit current for you. Maybe if use? Pongo

Eng. Parmar, Sir, excellent example of fault calculation. One of the best I have come across. I have one question.
How did you get the Base KVA as 6 MVA and should this not be base MVA. The transformer capacity is 2.5 MVA
but the Base KVA is taken as 6 and I do not know from where this value was taken.
Kindly assist.

I Just want to tell, the methods are very complicated and not understandable . How did you get this (Base KVA for
HT side (H.T. Breaker and Transformer Primary) is 6 MVA) .

Dear sir, thankyou for the example. But I have a doubt, how did you consider the base MVA as 360 (fault level HT
side) another boubt is how did you get the “Base KVA for HT side (H.T. Breaker and Transformer Primary) is 6
MVA”.

Kindly clarify my doubt.

I am working in a RGGVY project. We are constructing 11kv new line using weasel conductors. While working on
these lines we use discharge rods as safety measures. What current in the weasle conductors can cause the
melting of the discharge rods cable which is a copper wire of 10 sq mm of length 13 mtrs.

As usual excellent explanation but what really irritates me is that calculation values are always wrong. It confuses
