IEC 60909: Calculation

An IEC 60909 calculation is performed for the selected nodes and branches. The calculation can be performed in two different ways:

With only one selected node

With multiple selected objects.

 

In an IEC 60909 calculation, a distinction is made in the presentation of results between a calculation in which only one node is selected (single-node calculation) or multiple objects. In the case where only one node is selected, all branch and element flows which contribute to the short-circuit current at the selected node (the partial short-circuit currents) in the network are calculated and displayed.

Prior to a single-node calculation, Vision checks whether the clock numbers are correct for parallel transformers in the network. In the event of an incorrect parallel connection, Vision gives a message and the calculation is not performed.

 

An IEC 60909 calculation takes place as follows:

choose Calculate | Basic | IEC 60909

specify the fault type (symmetrical/one-phase/two-phase)

select the calculation sort (maximum short-circuit currents or minimum short-circuit currents)

select the desired tap positions (all transformers with their nominal tap position or all transformers with their set tap position)

select the c-factor for low voltage

exit form via [Ok]

 

The following are calculated for each node per fault type:

symmetrical

Sk" Ik", Ip, Ib, Zi, R/X,Tdc and tmax

phase-phase

Ik"a,b,c, Ip and tmax

phase-phase-earth

Ik"a,b,c, Ik"e and tmax

phase-earth

Ik"a,b,c, Ik"e, Ip, Z0i, R/Xand tmax

 

The following are calculated for each branch per fault type:

symmetrical

tk max, Imax, Ik", Sk"

phase-phase

tk max, Imax, Ik"a,b,c

phase-phase-earth

tk max, Imax, Ik"a,b,c

phase-earth

tk max, Imax, Ik"a,b,c

 

An accelerated choice can be made for a short-circuit calculation with the previously indicated settings, by using the speed button. Also with the help of F9 the last calculation is repeated.
