Short-circuit currents in three-phase a.c. systems - Part 2: Data of electrical equipment for short-circuit current calculations

IEC 60909-2:2008(E) comprises data of electrical equipment collected from different countries to be used when necessary for the calculation of short-circuit currents in accordance with IEC 60909-0. It may be applied for calculating short-circuit currents in low-voltage networks if they are in accordance with typical equipment employed in the user's country. The collected data and their evaluation may be used for medium- or high-voltage planning purposes and also for comparison with data given by manufacturers or electricity suppliers. For overhead lines and cables the electrical data may in some cases also be calculated from the physical dimensions and the material following the equations given in this report. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1992 and constitutes a technical revision. The significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows:
- Subclause 2.5 gives equations and examples for the calculation of the positive-, the negative- and the zero-sequence impedances and reduction factors for high-, medium and low-voltage cables with sheaths and shields earthed at both ends.
- Subclause 2.7 gives equations and figures for the calculation of the positive-sequence impedances of busbar configurations.

SHORT-CIRCUIT CURRENTS IN THREE-PHASE AC SYSTEMS –

Part 2: Data of electrical equipment
for short-circuit current calculations


FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. However, a
technical committee may propose the publication of a technical report when it has collected
data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard, for
example "state of the art".
IEC 60909-2, which is a technical report, has been prepared by IEC technical committee 73:
Short-circuit currents.
This technical report is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60909-0 and IEC 60909-3.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1992. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
The significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows:

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
TR 60909-2 © IEC:2008(E) – 5 –
– Subclause 2.5 gives equations and examples for the calculation of the positive-, the
negative and the zero-sequence impedances and reduction factors for high-, medium
and low-voltage cables with sheaths and shields earthed at both ends.
– Subclause 2.7 gives equations and figures for the calculation of the positive-sequence
impedances of busbar configurations.
The text of this technical report is based on the following documents:
Enquiry draft Report on voting
73/142/DTR 73/145/RVC

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts of the IEC 60909, published under the general title Short-circuit currents in
three-phase a.c. systems, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in
the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.

SHORT-CIRCUIT CURRENTS IN THREE-PHASE AC SYSTEMS –

Part 2: Data of electrical equipment
for short-circuit current calculations



1 General
1.1 Scope and object
This part of IEC 60909 comprises data of electrical equipment collected from different
countries to be used when necessary for the calculation of short-circuit currents in
accordance with IEC 60909-0.
Generally, electrical equipment data are given by the manufacturers on the name plate or by
the electricity supplier.
In some cases, however, the data may not be available. The data in this report may be
applied for calculating short-circuit currents in low-voltage networks if they are in accordance
with typical equipment employed in the user’s country. The collected data and their evaluation
may be used for medium- or high-voltage planning purposes and also for comparison with
data given by manufacturers or electricity suppliers. For overhead lines and cables the
electrical data may in some cases also be calculated from the physical dimensions and the
material following the equations given in this report.
Thus this technical report is an addition to IEC 60909-0. It does not, however, change the
basis for the standardized calculation procedure given in IEC 60909-0 and IEC 60909-3.
1.2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition
of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

2 Data for electrical equipment
2.1 General
The data presented are necessary for the calculation of short-circuit currents. They are
sometimes presented in the form of curve sheets and sometimes in the form of examples in
tables. In the case of easy equations they are given for the calculations of positive-sequence
and zero-sequence short-circuit impedances for overhead lines and cables.

For the transformer No. 6 in Table 3 the following Figure 4 gives additional information. The
low-voltage winding C (30 kV) is laying near the iron core, the medium-voltage winding B
(230 kV) between the windings A and C. The high-voltage winding A has a main part and an
additional tap winding connected to the on-load tap changer (see b in Figure 4) near the star
point at the high-voltage side of the transformer.
The reactances X , X , X in the positive-sequence system can be calculated from the short-
A B C
circuit voltages given in Table 3. Related to the high-voltage side A (U = 400 kV) the
rTA
results are: X = 51,1 Ω , X = – 4,4 Ω and X = 124,93 Ω without impedance correction
