Short Circuit in a system is caused accidently either due to insulation failure or flashover over of lines initiated by lightning or accidental faulty operation. The above phenomenon results in flow of heavy short circuit currents through the equipment which may result in permanent damage to power system elements. Hence, it is important to ensure that the short circuit ratings of power system elements are adequate. In addition, the faulty parts need to be disconnected from the healthy power system network by means of circuit breakers, fuses and other protection devices to protect the power system from further damage. The software used for short circuit studies are ETAP, DigSilent Powerfactory, PSS/E and so on.
