Abstract: thermal equivalent short-time current for three-phase short circuit currents. The approach suggested is based upon actual system parameters and provides fair estimates of short circuit thermal effects, as shown by the comparative analysis performed for some typical cases. The proposed approach compares successfully to the IEC m, n-method in most cases of practical interest while providing more accurate results for remote faults.
Key words: Thermal equivalent current.
