Answer / raghavendran.r

Step1: Calculate the system MVA.I have calculated that as 1.732*6600*800 = 9.144MVA. I have taken it as 10 MVA for easy calculations further.From the system MVA find out the Fault MVA value using the per unit impedance.i.e

Fault MVA = System MVA /P.u.Impedance.I am taking iot as .1
Hence we arrive at the Fault MVA.From this condition we get to know the Short circuit current as Isc = Fault MVA/Sys Voltage(6.6kV).

Usually, for a 6.6 kV system, the short circuit withstand rating is 40kA for 1 second.The Momentary current or making current is 2.55 times the Max. short circuit current.hHence we arrive at 100kA(Peak)
