When the short-circuit current provided by the power plant station is not higher than 5% of the initial short-circuit current of the bus without the plant station, its contribution can be ignored
short circuit current: ": Because the new energy collection station may gather multiple power plants based on full power converters, a single power plant provides
The short-circuit current supplied by the power plant does not exceed 5%, but the sum of the short-circuit current provided by multiple power plants is very large: If ignored according to this rule, it may cause
to a larger error (see 6:9):
--- Added that when calculating the short-circuit current of 110kV and above voltage level, the asynchronous motor of the distribution network can be considered in an equivalent way
contribution: Because in the short-circuit current calculation data of my country's transmission network, the distribution network is equivalent to 110kV or 220kV
It is not suitable to use the full voltage level model of the asynchronous motor, which is equivalent to simulate the way the asynchronous motor provides short-circuit current

1 Scope
This document specifies the method for calculating the short-circuit current in a three-phase AC system with a rated frequency of 50 Hz: The short-circuit points proposed in this document, etc:
Effective voltage source method is a simple and practical calculation method for short-circuit current, and its calculation results generally have acceptable accuracy: If possible
It is enough to obtain the same calculation accuracy, and does not exclude the use of other calculation methods, such as the superposition method: The short-circuit current calculated by the superposition method depends on
A specific flow, and therefore not necessarily the maximum short-circuit current:
This document applies to short-circuit current calculations for both balanced and unbalanced short-circuit faults: This document does not apply to ungrounded neutral or
Calculation of short-circuit current for a single-phase-to-ground fault in a resonant grounded system: This document is not applicable under controlled conditions (short circuit test station)
Man-made short-circuit and short-circuit calculation of electrical equipment for aircraft and ships:
In the neutral point ungrounded or resonant grounded system, when two independent single-phase ground short-circuit faults occur simultaneously, the calculation of the short-circuit current is given in
GB/T 15544:4-2017:
Short-circuit current and short-circuit impedance can also be determined through system test, system analysis instrument measurement or digital computer: in the existing low pressure
In the system, the short-circuit impedance can be obtained by measuring the expected short-circuit point:
The calculation of short-circuit impedance is usually based on the rated parameters of the power equipment and the topology of the system: The advantage of this method is that it can be applied
In existing systems, it can also be applied to planning systems:
Normally, two short-circuit currents with different magnitudes need to be calculated:
---Maximum short-circuit current, used to select the capacity or rated value of electrical equipment;
--- Minimum short-circuit current, used to select fuses, set protection settings or check induction motor startup:
Note: It is assumed that the three-phase short-circuit current is generated due to the simultaneous short-circuit of the three phases: Since the three phases are not short-circuited at the same moment, there may be a large short-circuit current
The study of the DC component is outside the scope of this document:
