7 International standards for short-circuit analysis in ac power systems

7.1 General

Guidelines and standards for short-circuit analysis have been developed in some countries. These standards generally aim at producing consistency and repeatability of conservative results or results that are sufficiently accurate for their intended purpose. Three very popular and widely used approaches are the International Electro-technical Commission (IEC) 60909–0:2001 Standard, the American Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) C37.010:1999 Standard and the UK Engineering Recommendation ER G7/4 procedure. In this chapter, we give a brief introduction to the three approaches.
