Example:Short Circuit Current Calculation.

Rating : 100MVAHV LV

Voltage 220 kV 132kVCurrent 262.43 A 437.40 A% of Impedance (%Z) = 8.05%

HV MVA = LV MVA = 100MVA

3 x 220000 x I1 = 3 x 123000 x I2 = 100,000,0003 x 220000 x I1 = 100,000,000I1 = 100,000,000 / (3 x 220000)I1 = 262.43A

3 x 123000 x I2 = 100,000,000I2 = 100,000,000 / (3 x 132000)I2 = 437.40A

%Zv = 8.05% = 220kV x % of impedance = 220000 x (8.05/100)

%Zv = 17,710 V

If We may apply 415 V to HV sideHV I primary = (415 x 262.43) / 17710HV I primary = 6.15 AHV sec = 6.15 / 300HV sec = 0.0205A

LV I primary = (415 x 437.4) / 17710LV I primary = 10.25 ALV sec = 10.25 / 500LV sec = 0.0205 A
