Nice video if the questions can be explained. A number of people (including myself) asked why the factor of 1.05 comes into the equation. I still prefer the per unit method. It eliminates the need to determine what voltages should be used at different levels if you have multiple transformers. Also, all those motor loads will definitely contribute to increasing the Isc at point 3. Suggestion is that if you don’t want to bring motor contribution into example, don’t specify motor loads. It can confuse some readers thinking that you don’t need to add motor contribution.
Thank you for sharing your views and thank you for the question, Answer to 1.05 question is : 1.05 is a voltage factor required in the calculation to account for Voltage variations in the system,if we consider voltage variation of +-6% in voltage , we have to use factor of 1.05 in the formula as per standard IEC 60909.
@@pietervdberg7055 Also note that motor contribution only occurs for 3 to 4 cycles for asynchronous or 6 cycles for synchronous machines, so not a huge factor when sizing equipment based on steady state conditions or fault levels that can exist for hundreds of milliseconds or more. Also the 1.05 takes into account the voltage factor or voltage rise that occurs on phase due to the raised neutral potential and normally relevant on single phase shorts
Very nice video. But I did not see any contribution of motors into the fault point as a secondary source and alternator and also why you have included 1.05XV in the calculation?

Mr M.salam The breaking capacity of the breaker purely depends on load nature. Ex: if your load 80% const power & 20% const impedance. Then the SC contribution will be some value.. Or If you load purely 100% constant power load, then the SC Current from the load will be some other value.. So as per above examples the SC Current contribution from the load side may very as per the load type.. Therefore = SC Current contribution from upstream + SC Current contribution from load end side = breaking capacity of the breaker nothing but (Ics or Icu)..
To each and everyone .. First go through the video carefully .. Why everyone asking regarding what about load SC Current contribution..?? Channel was created fault at the Trafo LV bus. From the upstream we can find Trafo SC current contribution and from Downstream the load SC current contribution. The upstream and downstream SC currents will get added up and visible to us at Bus right side.. So channel was trying to stress the point is how to calculate the fault current contribution from the upstreams not from the load end side or downstream side.. The channel was not stressing any point like.. this is the RMS SC current so based upon the this SC current only you have to choose breaker Ics or Icu.. Hope everyone understood.. Thank you...

Channel was created fault at the Trafo LV bus. From the upstream we can find Trafo SC current contribution and from Downstream the load SC current contribution.
