🔋 Calculadora de corriente de cortocircuito en AT

Convierta una capacidad de cortocircuito aguas arriba (MVA) en la corriente de cortocircuito primaria y verifique el poder de corte requerido de la aparamenta de AT — KYN28A para 10 kV y KYN61 para 35 kV.

Comenzar a calcular
⚠️ Valores de referencia para selección preliminar de aparamenta. La clasificación final de cortocircuito debe verificarse según IEC 62271-100 / IEEE C37 por un ingeniero calificado.

Para ingenieros que especifican aparamenta de media tensión y su poder de corte.

Cómo se calcula

· Corriente de cortocircuito: Isc = Ssc ÷ (√3 × U).

· Corriente de pico: ip ≈ 2.5 × Isc.

· Selección: poder de corte requerido ≥ Isc; corriente nominal = siguiente bastidor estándar por encima de la carga.

Ejemplo resuelto — 500 MVA a 10 kV → 28.9 kA

1. Ssc = 500 MVA, U = 10 kV → Isc = 500 ÷ (√3 × 10) = 28.9 kA.

2. Poder de corte requerido = 31.5 kA; corriente de carga 1000 A → bastidor de 1250 A.

3. Modelo recomendado: KYN28A-12-1250-31.5.

FAQ

How do I calculate high-voltage short-circuit current from upstream capacity?

Convert upstream short-circuit capacity Ssc to current: I = Ssc / (sqrt(3) x Un). A 10 kV bus with 500 MVA upstream gives I = 500 / (sqrt3 x 10) = 28.9 kA. Add Transformer and cable impedance for downstream points. The calculator checks this against KYN28A/KYN61 Switchgear ratings (25/31.5/40 kA).

What short-circuit rating does 10 kV switchgear need?

KYN28A 10 kV switchgear is commonly rated 25 kA, 31.5 kA or 40 kA. Most urban 10 kV networks (300-500 MVA upstream) need 25-31.5 kA; industrial plants close to a large source may need 40 kA. The calculator verifies the fault level against the panel rating and flags undersizing.

How is the peak making current related to the RMS breaking current?

The peak (making) current is the maximum instantaneous Fault Current, about 2.5 times the RMS breaking current for a typical X/R Ratio of ~14. A 31.5 kA breaker has a ~80 kA peak making rating. Switchgear must withstand both; the calculator reports the breaking level for selection.

What is the difference between KYN28A and KYN61 switchgear?

KYN28A is metal-clad, removable (withdrawable) 12 kV switchgear with a vacuum circuit breaker, rated up to 40 kA, the mainstream indoor 10 kV switchgear. KYN61-40.5 is the 35 kV equivalent, rated up to 31.5-40 kA. The calculator selects the appropriate class by voltage and fault level.

How do I derate switchgear for high altitude?

Above 1000 m, reduced air density lowers dielectric strength and cooling, so switchgear is derated about 1% per 100 m (IEC 62271-1). At 2000 m a 31.5 kA panel derates to roughly 28-29 kA. The calculator applies altitude derating when checking the panel rating against the fault level.
