    The document provides formulas for calculating short circuit current (Isc) in an electrical circuit under different scenarios: 1) For an infinite power source, the formula calculates Isc based on KVA rating, voltage, and impedance (Z) of the circuit. 2) For a known power source MVA, the formula calculates Isc based on MVA rating, voltage, Z, and KVA rating. 3) For the secondary of a circuit where the primary Isc is known, the formula calculates secondary Isc based on primary Isc, primary and secondary voltages, Z, and KVA rating. 4) For the end of a cable run, the formula calculates Isc based on the input

    * From Table below

    Note The short circuit current must be checked against the 5 cicles cable damage curve.
    Attach the cable damage curve to this calculation.
