Simple Way to Calculate Short Circuit Current Using Point - to - Point Method

In this video, I will show you how to simply calculate short circuit current at any point using point-to-point method. This method is popularized by Cooper Bussman. I also made reference to IEEE Std-551 Violet Book for the motor contribution. This method is one of the methods used in short-circuit calculation.

Sir ganda po ng xplaination nyo sobrang smoth, salute po sayo... may kunting idadagdag lang po ako, dapat dun palang sa f1 & f2 meron ka ng motor contribution po.

Salamat sir

[@justinlanielbaniqued2500]

Thank you Sir! Dami ko na pong napanuod abt short ciruit analysis diko ma gets yung iba pero yung inyo na gets ko agad hehe. Na lilito po kasi ako nung una paano kunin KAIC rating ng mga CB, salamat Sir sa learnings po! God Bless po.

[@RandyAmorchannel]

Salamat sir for watching my video

[@justinlanielbaniqued2500]

Sir may question po ako, yung 500kva 3phase transformer po ba single phase pole mounted transformer na naka banking lang po ba na consist of 167kva each rating ganon po? Parang sinum up lang Sir? Thank you po. ​@@RandyAmorchannel

Sir
Saan nyo nakuha ang Table 4. C for Conductor?

[@RaelSeanLinda]

Constant PO ba Ang 100 sa pag calculate Ng multiplier?

[@raphaelcacanog73]

nakakatulong po ito maraming salamat po

[@RandyAmorchannel]

You're welcome sir

[@DemetrioBautista-r9k]

Saan po Eng’r. Nanggaling yung Table 4 “C”?

[@ravenvillanueva7816]

sir pano po pag from center meter ang pag babasehan? pwede ba mag based sa 80percent ng kaic kung saan naka tap yung fault?

[@RandyAmorchannel]

Pag point-to-point method ang gamit mo kailangan mong mag simula sa source papunta sa point of fault kasi may factors na magdedepende sa fault current upstream ng fault point na gusto mong kunin.

Ano gamit mo na software sa presentation 😁.. galing..

Hello Engr. Nice video. Saan yan nilalagay A3 or A4 pag iaatached na at ipapasa for electrical permit? Thank you

[@RandyAmorchannel]

Kasama po yan sa analysis na ginagawa at pinipirmahan ng PEE. Normally separate sheet sa A4

Paano po kunin yong n, number of parallel rods?

[@RandyAmorchannel]

Sir sa design po yun makikita normally naka indicate sa single-line diagram

[@bloomberg4865]

Bkt s pag compute mo ng isc3 hindi mo naconsider ung current contribution ng motor during fault condition. Meron dn yan contribution.

[@arielgallego8803]

Sir, may video ka ba kung genset naman ang power source?

[@RandyAmorchannel]

wala pa sir, try ko gawan next time. Thanks

[@arielgallego8803]

@@RandyAmorchannel Salamat sir!

[@jonasfuertes5895]

2nd is, di ba natin gagamitin yung actual voltage doon sa computation assuming na may voltage drop na pagdating doon sa Location ng Fault? Thanks

[@RandyAmorchannel]

Sir with regards to voltage used, ang voltage drop sa buong system ay limited to 3% from source to last point as per standards, so negligible na yung voltage drop. Kung gusto talaga nating gamitin yung actual voltage sa point of fault, pwede din naman pero mag calculate ka pa ng voltage at every point. Salamat sir and God bless.

[@anniehofer4151]

Sir, yung 500KVA sa simula san po sya kinukuha? Gumagawa kasi kami project sa residential house and di ko sure if sa schedule of loads ko ba kukunin yang KVA

[@RandyAmorchannel]

Sa utility po yun sir, kVA rating ng utility transformer

[@ouevv]

Sa value ng n, paano naging 2 sa pt 1? 3phase po diba so bale 3 wires? Medyo nakakalito lang.

[@RandyAmorchannel]

Yung n dun sir is number of parallel runs, in that case, n=2

[@jeffreymanalomanalo2682]

​@@RandyAmorchannelKunwari po 3 na acb galing sa hvsg to lvsg. So times 3? Tama po ba

[@RandyAmorchannel]

@@jeffreymanalomanalo2682 hindi po ganun sir. Yung number of parallel runs of cable po is kung ilang set ng three-phase cables and ginamit, for example kapag nakalagy sa single-line diagram na 2 - 3Cx100mm2 ibig sabihin 2 sets ng three-phase feeder so ang n=2

[@emmanuellimjoco4709]

Kung 1 set lang n value is 1.
Kung 3 sets ang n value is 3 di po ba?

[@jonasfuertes5895]

Assuming na running yung ckt at nagkaroon ng Fault sa Point 3, hind po ba magkakaroon ng contribution sa Fault yung motor loads? Thanks

[@RandyAmorchannel]

Yung point-to-point method, sabi ay kapag hindi significant yung motor contribution at pwede nang hindi isama. Sa dulo ng video pinakita ko yung fault currents at different points of the system with and without motor contribution. Salamat sir. God bless

[@alvinnobitski2159]

Sir tanong ko lang po, kapag po ang fault point po ay nasa Main distribution Panel, ang Length (L) po ba na gagamitin sa formula ay from MDP to service point lang o from MDP to transformer?

[@RandyAmorchannel]

Consider mo yung length hanggang transformer kasi may contribution yung transformer sa fault current

[@marclestercarlos6619]

Kelangan ba iconvert to "feet" yung length ng cable?

[@RandyAmorchannel]

Yes po sir kailangan i-convert sa feet kasi yun po ang nasa formula

[@rommelbondoc1121]

Engr anong program/app yun gamit mo na auto nagcompute after mo magtype?

sir pagdating sa breaker na gagamitin base sa na calculate ng fault current, ang rule lang naman dun ay kunin mo yung breaker na may kAIC rating na equal or mas mataas sa calculated fault current.

anong C value and dapat gamitin pag Single Phase.

[@ImmortalShiro]

Same lang din. Naka dipende naman po kasi yung C values mainly sa wire size, then kung magnetic or nonmagnetic yung conduit, tsaka yung voltage.

[@RandyAmorchannel]

Walang separate value for single phase. Magkaiba lang ng value for single conductors and multi-conductor cables or kung busway
