As distribution systems expand to meet growing demand, available fault currents imposed on equipment are increasing due to stiffened transmission systems, greater substation capacity and on-site and distributed generation. These currents may exceed the thermal, mechanical, and interrupting capabilities, potentially leading to catastrophic failure.
This lecture will review a various causes of short circuit current faults in a power system and its devastating effects. In environments that demand high reliability and minimal downtime, traditional electrical protection methods are no longer sufficient. This session will present innovative solutions and alternatives to mitigate such events, thereby improving fault protection, enhancing operational safety, and optimizing system performance.
Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how these devices reduce fault risks, increase reliability, and support the efficient operation of critical infrastructure.
