Calculate fault current
This MS Excel Spreadsheet represents an easy way to calculate fault current by entering few values in indicated fields. You will find sheet with very nice example already fulfilled. Before starting fault current calculation, you will have to choose between Step 1a and Step 1b which are explained below.
Step 1a
Insert available fault current ampere rating from your local Utility.
Step 1b
Insert the the kVA rating power factor (PF) and impedance  (Z) of the transformer is not required to continue. Note: When you insert the kVA rating  power factor and impedance you must select the voltage from the dropdown box Select Voltage & Phase before the value will be calculated.

Plz.can you send this excel software?Available Fault Current Calculation
please we need this Excel should be free for African and Asian peoples.
Is there a way to unlock the spreadsheet so I can run calculations on 277/480V?
Just use one of the on line password breakers – Google is your friend !
I would like to download various MS Excel Spreadsheets offered on the website. Do I have to be a member? If so, what type?
…..thanks
i use 11/04kv transformer but this sheet no option of this voltage level
Can someone please explain the source of the conductor constant C? What does that signify? What is the unit? What is the equation?
I know this has something to do with resistance/distance but can’t really relate how
very good tool for projects.
Hi,
Very good work.
Yet could you make an option which allows you to input the cable data in mmsq and not in AWG (European Standards)?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks a lot, it’s a big help. you’re so kind.
Nice Information . Thanks
The tools are most valuable materials that will empowered young and existing engineers to grow in their field of operations.
Much useful, thanks.
I am an electrical engineer at the Federal College of Education Yola
I work in the Electrical section of Works Department
I really really enjoy your articles keep it up please.
Thank you, sir
good article
Thanks a lot Sir. Very useful and detailed sheet. Will surely be using this on many tasks and journey
Very nice and worth for learning!!
Comprehensive short circuit analysis factors in both active and reactive parts of equipment impedance and contributions from multiple sources including motors and generators. Consider free Short Circuit Analytic software program at http://arcadvisor.com/short-circuit-software for your short circuit fault current calculations needs.
Thank you very much, Interesting topics… Nevertheless, could you provide me a background for the medium voltage transformer ground fault system protection. In particular, design application and calculation of a right NGR for a Power Transformer, 12/14MVA, 13.8/4.16KV, delta-Y, 3ph, 60Hz.
I found an error in this calculator prior to this version when I learned how to calculate longhand. I also got John to add the Utility Fault Current cell that is present in this version. This file is also available at MikeHolt.com in his free stuff where I got my copy to critique. The Electrical Plan Review PDF file is what taught me to calculate fault current by longhand. http://www.mikeholt.com/technical-calculations-formulas.php

Can you provide information with examples on how to calculate fault levels the long hand method. Thanks.
this is a very good website!
.
I work with Electricity Authority of Cyprus and i am the section head of High voltage cables.
I really enjoy reading your articles. They are very good and very helpful.
I am using your spread sheets for various calculations.
Thank you
Great work!!
It’s a great work….
Just a comment on available software please remember that especially on the african continent
we use mm2 conductors as apposed to AWG so it would be nice to select either.
Thank you for the great work you have done.
Hi,
Very good work.
Yet could you make an option which allows you to input the cable data in mmsq and not in AWG (European Standards)?
Thanks in advance.
Thank you very much. It is great to have such kind of facility to able to speed up your calculations.
Thanks a lot!
Such kind of excel sheets are definitely useful to crosscheck the calculations.
Hi ,
Excellent work,
But , can you pls update this with LV Earthing system (IT,TT,TN etc..) & Transformer windg method (Y,DYN,yn etccc). with out these the pgm is good enogh only for 3 phase fault which is not allways the design criteria of LV system.
Thanks in advance
