    [size=16]Short Circuit Capacity: Basic Calculations and Transformer Sizing

    Short circuit capacity calculation is used for many applications: sizing of transformers,
    selecting the interrupting capacity ratings of circuit breakers and fuses, determining if a
    line reactor is required for use with a variable frequency drive, etc.

    The purpose of the presentation is to gain a basic understanding of short circuit capacity.
    The application example utilizes transformer sizing for motor loads.

    Conductor impedances and their associated voltage drop are ignored not only to present a
    simplified illustration, but also to provide a method of approximation by which a plant
    engineer, electrician or production manager will be able to either evaluate a new application
    or review an existing application problem and resolve the matter quickly.

    Literature containing a detailed discussion of short circuit capacity calculations are
    available within the electrical power transmission industry. [1]

    The following calculations will determine the extra kVA capacity required for a three
    phase transformer that is used to feed a single three phase motor that is started with
    full voltage applied to its terminals, or, "across-the-line."

    Two transformers will be discussed, the first having an unlimited short circuit kVA
    capacity available at its primary terminals, and the second having a much lower input
    short circuit capacity available.

    kVA of a single phase transformer = V x A

    kVA of a three phase transformer = V x A x 1.732, where 1.732 = the square root of 3.
    The square root of 3 is introduced for the reason that, in a three phase system,
    the phases are 120 degrees apart and, therefore, can not be added arithmetically.
    They will add algebraically.

    Transformer Connected To Utility Power Line

    The first transformer is rated 1000 kVA, 480 secondary volts, 5.75% impedance.
    Rated full load amp output of the transformer is

    1000 kVA / (480 x 1.732) = 1203 amps

    The 5.75% impedance rating indicates that 1203 amps will flow in the secondary if
    the secondary is short circuited line to line and the primary voltage is raised from
    zero volts to a point at which 5.75% of 480 volts, or, 27.6 volts, appears at the
    secondary terminals. Therefore, the impedance (Z) of the transformer secondary may
    now be calculated:

    Z = V / I = 27.6 volts / 1203 amps = .02294 ohms

    The transformer is connected directly to the utility power lines which we will
    assume are capable of supplying the transformer with an unlimited short circuit
    kVA capacity. The utility company will always determine and advise of the short
    circuit capacity available at any facility upon request.

    With unlimited short circuit kVA available from the utility, the short circuit
    amperage capacity which the transformer can deliver from its secondary is

    480 volts / .02294 = 20,924 amps

    An alternative method of calculating short circuit capacity for the above
    transformer is:

    1203 amps x 100 / 5.75% = 1203 / .0575 = 20,922 amps

    Another alternative is to consult a reference manual. Cutler- Hammer Consulting
    Application Catalog, 12th Edition, gives the specifications for the above mentioned
    transformer and the value of the short circuit capacity in Table A25 on page A-59.
    The short circuit capacity is given as 20,900 amps.

    Now we are ready to apply a motor to the terminals of the transformer secondary.
    We must determine the voltage drop which will be caused by the motor inrush on
    start. If the voltage remains within the rated voltage of the motor, then no oversizing
    of the transformer is required.

    Motors rated for 460 volts are for use with distribution systems that are rated at
    480 volts. The rating system allows a twenty volt drop in the distribution system
    which may occur along the feeder cables which connect the power transformer to
    the load. The NEMA specification for a standard motor is that it requires the motor to
    be capable of operating at plus or minus 10% of nameplate voltage. Therefore, the
    voltage drop on inrush should not be allowed to drop below 460 volts less 10%,
    or, 414 volts.

    The transformer will be asked to supply power to a motor which has a full load amp
    rating of 1203 amps, which will fully load the transformer. Therefore, we will rate
    the motor at 460 V x 1203 A x 1.732, or, 958.5 kVA. We will assume that our motor
    will have an inrush of 600% of its full load rating which will cause an inrush of

    460 V x 1203 A x 600% x 1.732 = 5751 kVA

    The voltage drop at the transformer terminals will be proportional to the motor load.
    The voltage drop will be expressed as a percentage of the inrush motor load compared
    to the maximum capability of the transformer. [2] The transformer has a maximum kVA
    capacity at its short circuit capability, which is

    480 V x 20,924 A x 1.732 = 17,395 kVA

    The voltage drop on motor inrush will be

    5751 kVA / 17,395 kVA = .331, or, 33.1%

    The transformer output voltage will drop to 480 x .669, or, 321 volts. Thus, we can
    see that the transformer is much too small to use a motor that has a full load rating
    equal to the full load capacity of the transformer.

    The transformer must be sized so that its short circuit capabilty is equal to or
    greater than 5751 kVA times 10, or, 57,510 kVA in order to have a voltage drop of 10%
    or less. Therefore, the short circuit amperage capacity of the transformer to be used
    must be a minimum of

    57,510 kVA / (480 V x 1.732) = 69176 amps

    A typical 2500 kVA, 5.75% impedance transformer will have a short circuit capacity of
    52,300 amps. The next highest standard size transformer at 3750 kVA will have a 6.5%
    impedance and would have a short circuit output capability of 69,395 amps which will be
    sufficient.
    In the particular application discussed, the ratio of the selected standard size
    transformer kVA to motor kVA is 3750 kVA / 958.5 kVA = 3.91. Thus the transformer
    rating is 391% larger, or, nearly four times, the rating of the motor. Note the non-linear
    effect of the impedance rating of the transformers on their short circuit capacities.
    Transformer Connected To An Upstream Transformer

    The second transformer we will examine will have a finite short circuit capacity
    available at its primary rather than an unlimited capacity. We will assume that a facility
    derives its power from the same 1000 kVA transformer mentioned above and that the
    second transformer is connected directly to the terminals of the 1000 kVA transformer.
    Thus, feeder cables between the two transformers are eliminated and the impedance of
    cables are not taken into account. However, the smaller the motor leads, the less will be
    both the short circuit capacity and the voltage delivered to the motor terminals.

    The second transformer, which will have a 480 volt primary and a 480 volt secondary, will
    be used to power a 20 HP, 3 phase, 460 volt motor which will be started at full voltage. The
    motor will be the only load on the transformer.

    Sales catalogs by various manufacturers will invariably recommend a "minimum
    transformer kVA" of 21.6 for use with a 20 HP motor. The minimum transformer kVA ratings
    are for use with multiple motors on a single transformer. A multiple motor configuration
    will be discussed in the next section of this article.

    The 21.6 kVA is calculated as follows:


    480 volts x 26 nominal amps x 1.732 = 21.6 kVA
    The transformer manufacturers will give a 20 HP motor a nominal full load amp rating
    of 27 amps, thus allowing no extra capacity:

    460 volts x 27 nominal amps x 1.732 = 21.5 kVA

    One motor manufacturer has rated a 20 HP motor at 26 Full Load Amps, 460 VAC,
    205 Locked Rotor Amps, 81% Power Factor. The motor will present a load of

    460 volts x 26 amps x 1.732 = 20.7 kVA

    The starting motor kVA load with inrush current will be

    460 V x 205 A x 1.732 = 163.3 kVA

    We will consider using a 30 kVA general purpose transformer to supply the 20 HP motor.
    The transformer will have a nominal impedance of 2.7% and an ouptut of 36.1 amps at
    480 volts. The short circuit current capacity that can be delivered to the 21.6 kVA
    transformer by the upstream 1000 kVA transformer is 20,924 amps, or, 17,395 kVA.

    The short circuit amperage capacity of a transfomer with a limited system short circuit
    capacity available at its primary is:

    transformer full load amps / (transformer impedance + upstream system impedance as seen
    by the transformer)

    Where:

    upstream system impedance as seen by the transformer =
    transformer kVA / available primary short circuit capacity kVA
    Therefore,

    36.1 amps / [2.7% + (30 kVA / 17,395 kVA)] =
    36.1 / (2.7% + .0017%) = 36.1 / .0287 = 1258 short circuit amps

    The transformer output voltage drop upon motor inrush will be:

    motor inrush kVA / short circuit kVA =
    163.3 kVA / (480 V x 1258 A x 1.732) = 163.3 kVA / 1046 kVA =
    .156 = 15.6 %

    A 30 kVA transformer rating is too small as the motor voltage drop will exceed 10%.
    A 45 kVA transformer with a 2.4% impedance and an output of 54.1 amps at 480 volts
    would have a short circuit capacity of 2034 amps. The voltage drop upon motor inrush
    would be 9.66%.

    For a single motor and transformer combination, one transformer manufacturer
    recommends that the motor full load running current not exceed 65% of the transformer
    full load amp rating. [3] Thus, for our 26 amp motor the transformer rating should be
    a minimum of 40 amps, or, 33.3 kVA.

    Multiple Motors On A Single Transformer
    The minimum transformer kVA is given by transformer manufacturers so that a transformer
    may be sized properly for multiple motors. If there are five motors on one transformer, add
    the minimum kVA ratings and then add transformer capacity as necessary to accomodate the
    inrush current of the largest motor.

    The transformer thusly selected will be capable of running and starting all five motors
    provided that only one motor is started at any one time. Additional capacity will be required
    for motors starting simultaneously.

    Also, if any motor is started more than once per hour, add 20% to that motor's minimum
    kVA rating to compensate for heat losses within the transformer.

    Motor Contribution to Short Circuit Capacity
    When a fault condition occurs, power system voltage will drop dramatically. All motors
    that are running at that time will not be able to sustain their running speed. As those motors
    slow in speed, the stored energy within their fields will be discharged into the power line.
    The nominal discharge of a motor will contribute to the fault a current equal to up to four
    times its full load current.

    With our 1000 kVA, 1203 amp transformer example given above, we will assume that all
    1203 amps of load are from motors. The actual short circuit current will equal 20,924 amps
    plus 400% of 1203 amps for a total of 25,736 short circuit amps.

    When sizing the transformer for motor loads, the fault current contribution from the
    motors will not be a consideration for sizing. However, the motor contribution must be
    considered when sizing all branch circuit fuses and circuit breakers. The interrupting
    capacity ratings of those devices must equal or exceed the total short circuit capacity
    available at the point of application.

    Motor contribution to short circuit capacity must be included when adding a variable
    frequency drive to the system. See
    Variable Frequency Drives: Source Impedance
    and Line Reactors
