The fault current is expressed in measurable quantities by:
EQUATION96 V1 EN (Equation 182)
Where:
I
FA
is the change in current at the point of measurement, IED A and
D
A
is a fault current-distribution factor, that is, the ratio between the fault current at line end A and
the total fault current.
For a single line, the value is equal to:
