Dear All,
Can anybody please tell me which value(saturated or unsaturated) of sub-transient reactance(Xd") we take for the calculation of fault current of the system?

Dear All, Can anybody please tell me which value(saturated or unsaturated) of sub-transient reactan..

Answer / yegneswaran

Saturated machines will have lesser reactance compares to unsaturated ones...

Hence, fault current is more while saturated subtransient reactance taken into account...

We should consider saturated subtransient reactance while calculating fault current value.

Answer / sarmadahmed

Fault current calculations are usually done to find the rating of protection equipment. For this we need the maximum fault current. Since unsaturated machines has lower value of sub-transient reactance, we should use unsaturated sub transient reactance for the calculations.

I have an existing old MCCB. ABB Model SACE, the rating are: Ue = 660 volts, Iu =1250 Amps, 3 poles, Ith (max) =800 amps at 45 deg C. I need a circuit breaker for my 3 phase motors, 380 volts 60 hz. the supplier required the minimum ampacity of the breaker to be 911 amps. can i use this breaker with rating of Iu =1250 amps but Ith = 800amps maximum?
