Changes in fault current at 10kV busbar
Circuit Breaker Failure to Operate or Maloperation: Check the energy storage mechanism, closing/tripping coils, auxiliary switches, and secondary circuits. Document Control but does not have a maintained distrib calculation of short circuit currents in a three phase ac system. The standard produces fault current results for an unloaded network, that is the results do not include load current and the pre-fault conditions do not take account of tap. However, this high-speed clearing must be balanced against the need for security. Tripping incorrectly for an external fault may cause large outages, and jeopardize power system.
