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/Xa and 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.
