Technical FAQs 4

What is the maximum possible short-circuit current?

The maximum possible short-circuit current at the machine is the three-pole short circuit at the end of the incoming supply conductor. The following diagram shows a schematic view of the short-circuit loss in relation to the cable length and the cross-section. The smallest possible short circuit that can occur is the single-phase short circuit.

What is the smallest possible short circuit?

The smallest possible short circuit that can occur is the single-phase short circuit. The longer the supply line to the short-circuit point and the smaller the cross-section, the greater is the impedance of a fault loop and the smaller the short circuit that is produced.

What is the smallest short-circuit current?

As a rule, the smallest short-circuit current is produced by a single-pole short circuit, whereas the largest short-circuit current usually arises through a three-pole short circuit. The largest short-circuit current must be detected by the protection device and disconnected quickly in order to protect the cables and equipment against damage.

What is a short circuit breaker LK of 100 ka?

For a short-circuit lk of 100 kA, the circuit breaker has a let-through current of 14.2 kA. Siemens keeps you up-to-date.
