Short Circuit Study/Coordination
Our Service Offerings
Conducting short circuit studies and coordination to ensure system reliability and safety. Our studies help identify potential issues and implement solutions to enhance system performance.
VarcoMac's Short Circuit Study and Coordination services provide crucial analysis that forms the foundation of your facility's electrical safety and reliability strategy. Our expert engineers utilize advanced computational tools to precisely analyze your power distribution system and identify potential hazards before they become dangerous failures.
Through comprehensive evaluation, we:
- Identify Maximum Fault Currents: We determine the maximum fault current at each point in your electrical system, ensuring all equipment is properly rated to handle potential short circuit events.
- Coordinate Protective Devices: Our team establishes optimal settings for circuit breakers, fuses, and relays to create a selective coordination system that isolates faults while maintaining power to unaffected areas.
- Validate Equipment Ratings: We verify that all equipment withstand and interrupting ratings meet or exceed calculated fault currents, confirming your system's ability to safely handle electrical faults.
- Minimize Downtime: By implementing properly coordinated protection schemes, we help prevent widespread outages when localized faults occur.
Our detailed reports include comprehensive documentation of findings, clearly presented data tables, one-line diagrams, and specific recommendations for system improvements. These studies not only enhance safety and reliability but also help you meet insurance requirements, regulatory compliance standards, and industry best practices. VarcoMac's expert recommendations can extend equipment life, reduce unexpected failures, and create a safer electrical environment for all building occupants.
