Short Circuit Current Calculator — Free Online Calculator

Estimate available short circuit (fault) current at a panel based on transformer size and impedance.

How to Use This Calculator

Enter transformer kVA, impedance percentage (from nameplate), secondary voltage, and phase.

The Formula Explained

Available fault current at transformer secondary: Isc = FLA / %Z. FLA = kVA × 1000 / (V × √3 for 3-phase). This is the maximum theoretical fault current, actual will be lower due to cable impedance.
