Network under study (IEC3632.eds)

This tutorial will illustrate the proper use and application of the EDSA IEC 363 short circuit program. The exercise in question will be based on the single line diagram shown in figure 1 above. Additional information on the IEC 363 short circuit program can be found in the EDSA manual and Quality Control/Assurance literature. In addition to these sources, the user is strongly encouraged to run the following examples: IEC3632.eds/IEC3634.eds/IEC363a.eds/IEC363b.eds/SingleG.eds. All these examples constitute the verification/validation files for the QA/QC documents and can be found in the EDSA Samples folder. The network shown in Figure 1 consists of three generators supplying power to six induction motors fed via busses B1 and B2. The data for the generators and motors is as follows: Generator Data (All): Rating: T: T: Tdc: 1 MVA / 450 Volts 20 ms 400 ms 40 ms Motor Data (All): Rating: 212.5 Sh-kW / 450 Volts T: 20.5 ms Tdc: 10 ms

Results Comparison

Analysis for variances of the results (Max=1.979%)

This variance is caused by the different options and calculation methods between the longhand and computerized method. The conclusions are as follows 1. The program uses the most precise method. This method is called Transfer Impedance and Additive Sources. Here, the contribution effect of all the active sources is individually and accurately accounted for. The Longhand method usually resorts to approximations, in order to simplify complex calculations. In the particular case of this example, the generators were modeled as an equivalent source. The greater the number of generators and motors the greater the error will be using the abovementioned approximation method. The greater the impedance of cables being dealt with, also the greater the error will be using the approximation method.
