Ok I've read a lot of articles and seen a lot of different ways of calculating the short circuit current at the transformer terminals.
So I'm going to apply my own intuition and see if I can arrive at the correct value if someone could please confirm my answer.
6.6kV/400V
3 Phase
10MVA
8%Z
By definition %Z is the % of Vp that causes FLC under short circuited conditions.
FLC = 10000000/(1.732*400) = 14434A
so 8% 6600V = 528V
6600/528 = 12.5
So 12.5*11434= 180kA
Is this correct? I know I've simplified it and rounded generously but I'm just trying to get the general principle down.
Thanks
Dan
