Minimum and Maximum Prospective Fault current calculations

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
hello

I am studying IET Electrical Installation and Design Guide 4th edition. and I am confused about using Cmin and Cmax to calculate Ipf and Ief. When do we use Cmin and Cmax to calculate the Minimum Prospective fault current (Ief) ??

    Cmin and Cmax I presume are the factors for variability of the voltage of the source (differences in transformer tap settings etc). As far as I recall BS 7671 only mentions Cmin and then only in the context of ADS. So current calculations for other purposes as far as I know only need to work from the nominal voltage directly.
