Short Circuit Study

Wyco Power engineers will create a software model of your electrical system including all sources of fault current (e.g. electrical utility, onsite generators, motors) and all impedance circuit components (e.g. cables, transformers, line reactors, etc ) to analyze fault currents at pertinent equipment locations throughout your system.

Wyco Power models your electrical system to find fault currents.

What is a Short Circuit Study?

Why is it needed?

Ensures safety and proper equipment ratings in your system. The goal is to have safety for both equipment and personnel.

You get detailed fault current data and its comparison to equipment duty ratings - what is termed as equipment evaluation table.
