🔋 เครื่องคำนวณกระแสไฟฟ้าลัดวงจรแรงดันสูง

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.
