ABB ACS580 Series - Calculating the Short-Circuit Current of the Installation; Calculation Example

￭
Calculating the short-circuit current of the installation
Make sure that the short-circuit current of the installation is at least the value
given in the fuse table.
The short-circuit current of the installation can be calculated as follows:

Calculation example
Drive:
• ACS580-01-145A-4
• supply voltage = 410 V
Transformer:
• rated power S
n
= 600 kVA
• rated secondary voltage (supply for drive supply) U
n
= 430 V
• transformer impedance z
k
= 7.2%
Supply cable:
• length = 170 m
• resistance/length = 0.398 ohm/km
• reactance/length = 0.082 ohm/km.
