The aim of IEC 61363 standard is the calculation of short-circuit currents in electrical networks of ships and offshore units. The important property of such networks is that there is no external network present. Networks of ships and offshore units operate typically in island mode. Due to relative weakness of the network the decrease of short-circuit current in time is of big importance. The standard considers only symmetrical three phase to earth bolted faults.
