During a short circuit, a high amount of current can flow through a cable for a short time. This surge in current flow causes a temperature rise within the cable. High temperatures can trigger unwanted reactions in the cable insulation, sheath materials and other components, which can prematurely degrade the condition of the cable. As the cross-sectional area of the cable increases, it can dissipate higher fault currents for a given temperature rise. Therefore, cables should be sized to withstand the largest short circuit that it is expected to see.

In the solution of load flow eqation, Newton raphson method is superior to the gauss siedal method because (a)the time taken to perform one iteration in the NR method is less when compared to GS method (b)the number of iterations required in the NR method is more compared to that in the GS method (c)the number of iterations required is dependant on the size of the system in the NR method (d)convergence characteristics of the NR mehod are not affected by the selection of the slack bus
