551-2006 - IEEE Recommended Practice for Calculating AC Short-Circuit Currents in Industrial and Commercial Power Systems

Description: This recommended practice provides short-circuit current information including calculated short-circuit current duties for the application in industrial plants and commercial buildings, at all power system voltages, of power system equipment that senses, carries, or interrupts short-circuit currents. Equipment coverage includes, but should not be limited to, protective device sensors such as series trips and relays, passive equipment that may carry short-circuit current such as bus, cable, reactors and transformers as well as interrupters such as circuit breakers and fuses.
