A_FAULT provides short-circuit calculations in full compliance with the ANSI C37 standards. It offers separate solutions for low, medium and high voltage systems and for symmetrical, momentary and interrupting calculations as defined in the standards. For medium and high voltage systems, the momentary and interrupting values may be calculated using either the E/X or E/Z methods permitted by the standards. Both AC and DC decrement curves required by the total current rated standard (C37.5) and the symmetrical rated standard (C37.010) are used by the program.
Short circuit calculations to other standards are also available with the following optional modules: IEC60909 IEC61363

- Design safer power systems by calculating equipment ratings per ANSI standards.
- Save time by automatically applying ANSI C37 and IEEE 141 multiplying factors to generators and motors.
- Increase efficiency with custom data reporting featuring X/R, E/X or E/Z methods and values for the application of low, medium, and high voltage breakers.
- Communicate effectively with quality reports.
- Reports three-phase, phase-earth, phase-phase, and phase-phase-earth fault values.
- Reports values for both total current and symmetrical rated breakers.
- Models transformer primary and secondary taps and off-nominal rated voltages.
- Use either AC/DC, DC only, interpolated or no AC decay options.
