5.1 Selectivity with two identical incoming feeders
The figure below shows an example of the distribution of short-circuit currents in a faulty
outgoing feeder that is supplied by two parallel-connected transformers with the same power
rating.
① Characteristic displacement factor
② Total short-circuit current
