Fault Calculations

Learn about short-circuit analysis in our software. See how we calculate the fault at panels and the factors that impact the outcome.

We look at the following topics for fault calculations:

• Viewing and modifying the ElectroBIM fault current schedule created using the Schedules→Fault command
• Configuring fault current settings for distribution equipment in the Panel Edit command
  • Modifying settings at the family level using the Family Edit command
• Fault current settings for branch circuit devices

We also answer the following questions:

• "How do the fault calculations work with regard to transfer switches and generators?"
• "If the utility transformer is not defined in the Revit model, how do I set up my fault calculations?"
