  • Technical Paper

    Generator Short-Circuit Current

    This short paper was written as quick reference to calculating available short-circuit current within a temporary electrical system when the primary power source is a generator. The paper also explains the behavioral characteristics of a generator when a short-circuit occurs and explain the different reactance values assigned to the generators for the purpose of calculating short-circuit current based on time.


    Generator Motor Starting

    This short paper will address motor basics, starting current, the impact high transient current has on a generator and the important role transient reactance plays in estimating the generator size in the absence of generator performance data.
