3.4.4 Prospective short-circuit current
The meter always measures impedance. The short-circuit current is calculated according to the
following formula:
S
n
k
Z
U
I 
where: U
n
– nominal voltage of the network being tested selected in MENU, Z
S
– impedance measured.
On the basis of U
n
nominal voltage selected (point 2.1.1), the meter automatically recognizes the
measurement at phase voltage or phase-to-phase voltage and takes it into account in the calculations.
If the voltage of the network being tested is outside the tolerance range, the meter will not be able
to determine a proper nominal voltage for the short-circuit current calculation. In such a case, horizontal
dashes will be displayed instead a short-circuit current value. The following diagram shows voltage
ranges for which short-circuit current value is calculated.
