1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 Overview
This report documents the results of a Power System Engineering analysis for the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center in Chicago, IL. The objective of this section is to briefly summarize the results of the analysis and highlight key issues and findings in the electrical distribution equipment. For items addressed by equipment, conductor, or device settings changes, the power system study results may need to be re-evaluated in a revision to this study. The full analysis can be found in the main body of the report.
The scope of this study is limited to that equipment shown on the study one-line diagrams located in the back of the report. Unless specifically required by job specifications, branch circuit utilization equipment, as defined per NEC Article 100, was not included in this study (this may consist of small equipment, 100A and less, such as:
safety switches, industrial control panels, and enclosed starters/drives).
Notes:
1. Substations S3N-3-1, S3N-3-2, and S3N-P-1 were not included in the Arc Flash analysis. The upstream relay CT information could not be obtained at HVSN-3-1.
Once CT information is provided these substations can be included in the analysis.
2. Numerous NEC 240 violations, cables not protected, appear within the system.
It is beyond the scope of this study to review and document these NEC violations.
1.2 Revision History
This section will document revision history after the initial study has been submitted.
Subsequent revision numbers are each listed on the front cover of the report and are explained below by indicating the following details: date of issue, reason for revision, and who initiated the revision. When necessary, engineer’s comments and/or pertinent emails will be referred to in the references section of the report.

AF RECOMMENDATIONS TABLE
1.4 Study Highlights
1.4.1 Short-Circuit
Of the 488 device locations evaluated for adequacy to interrupt or withstand the maximum three-phase short-circuit current to which they could be subjected, 53 were identified to be INADEQUATE. The Short-Circuit Evaluation Table lists equipment that was not evaluated because the equipment’s rating could not be determined.
Graph of equipment short-circuit capability
1.4.2 Coordination
Setting recommendations have been made for adjustable devices to ensure optimum selectivity, reduce arc flash, or protect equipment. Time-current coordination (TCC) graphs were used to perform the evaluation for the overcurrent devices. Overall, the results showed that acceptable levels of selectivity were achieved among devices in the system except as shown on TCCs 07.TCC, 023.TCC, 027.TCC, 032.TCC, 035.TCC, 044.TCC, 045.TCC, 046.TCC, 056.TCC, 059.TCC, 061.TCC, 064.TCC, 065.TCC, 066.TCC, 069.TCC, 073.TCC, 074.TCC, 079.TCC, 093.TCC, 095.TCC, 096.TCC, 097.TCC, 098.TCC, 099.TCC, 100.TCC, 101.TCC, and 102.TCC. TCCs and equipment recommendations are discussed in Section 1.3.2 Study Recommendation Tables.
While the electrical system does not meet the selective coordination requirements as specified in the latest edition of the NEC, coordination has been optimized as far as practicable. Consult the Coordination Recommendations Table for more information.
The breakers in the system should be set to the recommended levels found in the Overcurrent Device Setting Tables section.
Recommendations for equipment changes can result in equipment which is larger in ampacity and/or physical footprint, may require changes to other parts of the electrical design (e.g., cable and conduit sizing), and could also impact the architectural design.
When selective coordination, per NEC 700, is required, further analysis beyond the scope of this study will be necessary as well as possible equipment construction or design changes.
1.4.3 Arc Flash
Equipment was analyzed to determine the level of arc flash incident energy to which a worker might be exposed during an arc flash event. The majority of locations were determined to be 8 cal/cm2, or less. It is not recommended to perform work on energized equipment with the “Over 40 cal/cm2” designation (16 locations).
Graph of arc flash hazard incident energy occurrence
A common industry approach is to use a two-level clothing system, with protection at 8 cal/cm2 and 40 cal/cm2. This approach simplifies what workers must select/wear as well as what companies must issue to their employees.
It is recognized that recommendations in this report may not be implemented simultaneously. It is the customer’s responsibility to apply and update labels as recommendations are implemented or as conditions change.
1.4.4 Other Findings
Other issues, which are not formally in the scope of work, were observed in the course of data collection and analysis. These could be NEC compliance issues, equipment having poor condition of maintenance, grounding, or some other critical factor.
2 INTRODUCTION
This report has the following components:
Studies were performed using nationally recognized electrical engineering analysis software SKM Power Tools Version 7.0.4.6.
The system short-circuit analysis evaluates the adequacy of the distribution equipment shown on the enclosed one-line diagrams to withstand or to interrupt the calculated maximum available short-circuit current at its location.
The overcurrent device time-current coordination analysis determines the suggested settings and, where appropriate, the ampere ratings and types for the electrical power system protective devices to achieve the desired system protection and electrical service continuity goals.
The arc flash analysis establishes the arc flash boundary around electrical equipment within which a worker exposed to an arcing fault would expect to receive 2nd degree burns if not adequately protected. The analysis also determines the incident energy levels at specific working distances from equipment, which can be used to select appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to be worn when working within the arc flash boundary.
This report supersedes and invalidates results from any prior study for the scope of equipment being reviewed.
Electrical system changes within the facility or in the utility system can have a significant impact on the results of this power system analysis, which is a “snapshot” of as-found system conditions. As such, it is recommended that this analysis be re-evaluated on a regular basis, not to exceed 5 years, to account for electrical system changes. NFPA 70B and 70E address the issue of equipment maintenance and failure to properly maintain equipment may invalidate these results
A “REFERENCES” section near the end of the report cites who supplied information or how the data was obtained. The majority of this data is filed with the project and has not been reproduced in this report. Abbreviations and trademarks referenced throughout this report are also listed in an appendix.
3 STUDY DATA
3.1 Importance
The results of the study analyses are highly dependent on the accuracy of study data.
Modifications or clarifications of study data will likely alter study results. This study recommends a re-evaluation with actual utility data and cable lengths.
Short-circuit calculations can be conservatively estimated in order to evaluate equipment short-circuit ratings. Overcurrent device coordination can be evaluated using estimated short-circuit values to determine how well the system coordinates. For the following study types, it is essential to have accurate and complete data because of the significant impact the data has on the results: arc flash.
This study will be revised to include these analyses once all the required data has been obtained. See section 3.2 Missing Data for a full list of data needed.
3.2 Missing Data
The following critical information was not available:
Cables (length, size, type – CU/AL) Existing equipment information Generator submittal (including generator breakers) ATS submittal (including withstand rating) UPS submittal Current transformer ratios for 901 HVSN-3-1.
3.3 Estimates & Assumptions
Some assumptions, or estimates, were required and may affect the results of this study.
In general, assumptions, or estimates, are needed because of limited access, safety concerns in obtaining equipment nameplate data, or lack of documentation. Significant differences between the assumptions, or estimates, listed here and actual values will require that this power system analysis be revised.
The following assumptions, or estimates, were made for the reasons given above:
1. Where conductor lengths were not available, a length of 10 feet was used.
2. Where conductor sizes could not be determined, cables sized per NEC 2014 Edition table 310.15(B)(16) were used in the analysis. These estimates are noted on the one-line diagrams.
4 SHORT-CIRCUIT ANALYSIS
4.1 General Procedure
An electrical system short-circuit analysis is used for the following:
1) To compare the calculated maximum fault current with the interrupting ratings of overcurrent protective devices such as fuses and circuit breakers.
2) To investigate applicable short-circuit series ratings and the protection of electrical equipment by current-limiting devices.
3) To verify the adequacy of other equipment, such as switches and equipment bussing, to withstand the effects of the calculated maximum fault current levels.
4) To assist in the selection and/or determination of settings for relays, fuses and circuit breakers.
5) To provide input (along with device trip characteristics) to an arc flash hazard analysis.
This analysis calculates maximum available three-phase, RMS symmetrical, short-circuit amperes at each piece of equipment in the system. The calculation procedures are based on recommendations included in ANSI/IEEE standards C37.13, C37.010, and C37.5.
The modeling software simulates a bolted three-phase fault at each point of consideration in the system and calculates the maximum available short-circuit current at that point without any reduction due to current-limiting overcurrent devices which may be present. (However, the effects of current-limiting devices are considered when determining the adequacy of the equipment.) The calculated short-circuit values are RMS symmetrical amperes and are comparable with the RMS symmetrical short-circuit ratings of electrical equipment.
Electrical distribution equipment must be able to withstand and/or interrupt the most severe fault duty that it may be subjected to at its location in the system. In particular, NEC Section 110.9 requires circuit breakers to have a rating sufficient for interrupting the maximum available fault current present at their line side terminals. For locations where calculated fault currents exceed the ratings of the equipment, recommendations for corrective actions are provided.
Equipment short-circuit withstand and interrupting ratings are expressed in symmetrical RMS current. However, fault currents are not purely symmetrical in practice, as system inductance introduces a degree of asymmetry for at least the first few cycles of a fault.
The magnitude and duration of this asymmetrical component depends on several factors, including characteristics of system components (conductors, transformers, and loads) and the exact point on the current waveform that the fault begins—the level of asymmetry even differs from phase to phase in a three-phase system. Because of the uncertainty in asymmetry for a given fault event, the capability of devices to interrupt asymmetrical fault current is based on the maximum possible asymmetrical fault current level at the point of application. The more inductive the circuit, as measured by the calculated system X/R ratio, the more asymmetrical the fault current can be. If the calculated X/R level exceeds a certain level, then the increased asymmetrical duty must be taken into account when breaker ratings are assessed.
Low-voltage circuit breakers and fuses are tested to establish their interrupting ratings based on a circuit with a fixed X/R ratio, as defined in the various product standards (UL and ANSI). For example, an ANSI low-voltage power circuit breaker is tested in a circuit with an X/R ratio of 6.591. If such a breaker is applied at a system bus with a calculated X/R ratio of 6.591 or less and the calculated RMS symmetrical fault current is within the symmetrical interrupting rating of the breaker, then it is assumed that the breaker is also able to interrupt and withstand the asymmetrical current resulting from a fault at that location. If a low voltage breaker is applied at a location with an X/R ratio greater than that of the design test circuit, the calculated fault current must be multiplied by an adjustment factor that accounts for this. This resultant “fault duty,” which is greater than the calculated fault current, is then compared to the breaker’s interrupting rating in order to determine if the breaker is adequately rated. Different classes of low-voltage breakers have different test X/R values, and each type has its own set of multiplication factors. Design test circuit power factors and associated X/R ratios are as shown in Table 1. The low-voltage short-circuit output report shows the calculated fault duty levels calculated at each bus, and when these values differ from the calculated short-circuit current levels, they are used in the device evaluation tables. See IEEE 1015-1997, IEEE Recommended Practice for Applying Low-Voltage Circuit Breakers Used in Industrial and Commercial Power Systems, for additional details.
Table 1: Summary of Test Power Factor and X/R Values for LV Devices.
Device pf X/R Ratio Power circuit breaker, unfused 0.15 6.591
Power circuit breaker, fused 0.20 4.899 Molded case breaker, interrupting rating greater than 20000 A 0.15-0.20 6.591-4.899
Molded case breaker, interrupting rating 10001 to 20000 A 0.25-0.30 3.9-3.18
Molded case breaker, interrupting rating 10000 A and less 0.45-0.50 2.0-1.732
For power circuit breakers, the power factors are taken from ANSI/IEEE C37.13. For molded case breakers, the power factors are taken from NEMA standard AB1. Since the NEMA standard specifies a range of test circuit power factors, the highest value (lowest X/R ratio) is used to determine the multiplying factor. This produces the most conservative (largest) factor.
For medium-voltage and high-voltage breakers rated on a symmetrical current basis, the effects of system X/R and asymmetrical current are handled similarly. For the breakers’ interrupting ratings, the multiplying factors are not listed in a table but instead are derived from graphs shown in ANSI C37.010-1999, IEEE Application Guide for AC High- Voltage Circuit Breakers Rated on a Symmetrical Current Basis. The software calculates and applies these multiplying factors automatically when the system X/R value exceeds 15 for 2, 3 and 5-cycle breakers, or 10 for 8-cycle breakers. The breaker momentary fault current, though calculated in the first cycle after the fault when the fault current is typically highly asymmetrical, is also expressed in RMS symmetrical amperes. Based on this, the analysis software calculates the momentary duty based on both RMS amperes and amperes crest, so that the calculated duties can be compared to breakers with either type of momentary rating.
For some solidly-grounded systems, like close-coupled unit substations and generator gear, it is possible the bolted three-phase fault current is not the maximum fault current. The power systems engineer performing the study considered applicable buses and has reported bolted line-to-ground fault current when required. Actual distribution system zero sequence impedance (Z0) values are difficult to calculate. Due to the uncertainty in actual Z0 values, the zero sequence impedances used by the computer program were based on simple, conservative linear relationships with the corresponding positive sequence impedances (Z1). Conservative assumptions for Z0 values can result in conservative fault current values; however, actual system bolted line-to-ground fault currents can exceed the three-phase fault current values for some solidly-grounded systems.
The included one-line diagrams are a simplified version of the system drawings, showing only those parts of the electrical system under consideration. The various circuit locations on the diagrams have been labeled with bus identification numbers so input data could be supplied to the computer and the computer output could be readily interpreted.
4.2 Data Used in the Calculations
4.2.1 Power Company Data
COMED has advised that their system can deliver a maximum available three-phase short-circuit current of 8,700A at 4160V with an assumed X/R ratio of 8 at the secondary of TR-1 and 8,600A at 4160V with an assumed X/R ratio of 8 at the secondary of TR-2.
These values were obtained from an existing study dated June 2017 by Eaton Elecrical Services and Systems. These values determined the starting point for the analysis. No minimum or alternate switching levels were given.
4.2.2 Cable Data
The conductor (cable and/or busway) data used for each circuit segment are shown in the SHORT CIRCUIT INPUT/OUTPUT DATA appendix. Included are lengths, number per phase, size, conductor material, cable insulation type, conduit material and resistance and reactance values. Also, conductor lengths, number per phase, and size and conductor material are recorded on the one-line diagrams.
Resistance values are based on 25 degrees Celsius (room temperature) rather than the full load temperature usually shown in descriptive literature because short-circuits can occur when the circuit is initially energized or lightly loaded as well as when fully loaded.
4.2.3 Transformer Data
Typical Schneider Electric transformer percent impedance and typical X/R ratio values were used for all transformers. The exact R and X component values used are shown in the SHORT CIRCUIT INPUT/OUTPUT DATA appendix.
4.2.4 Motor Contribution to Short-Circuit Current
Motor contribution to the short-circuit current is taken into account in this short-circuit analysis. During the first few cycles of a fault, running motors act as generators and produce a current which will combine with the source short-circuit current flowing to the fault as illustrated in Figure 1. Sources may be, but are not limited to, the Power Company, local generators, or both.
Figure 1: Example motor contribution.
Connected motors shown on the study one-line were assumed to be running at the time of the fault. Motors fed by adjustable speed drives equipped with bypass contactors were considered to contribute to system fault currents as well. However, motors fed by drives without bypass contactors were not considered since they do not contribute to fault current. Redundant motors shown on the study one-line were also assumed to be running at the time of the fault unless operating controls prohibit these conditions.
A motor’s contribution to a fault at its terminals is equal to the full-load ampere (FLA) rating of the motor divided by its per-unit subtransient reactance, similar to the contribution from a generator. However, at the upstream switchboard, panelboard, or motor-control center, the fault contribution from the individual motors is reduced by the impedance of the motor branch circuit conductors. Since data on motor subtransient reactances and branch-circuit conductor lengths is often difficult to obtain, assumptions regarding the motors’ subtransient reactances are typically made when the system model is built.
For calculation of low-voltage fault duty, the contribution from induction motors and synchronous motors in the system are considered. For small induction motors (less than 50 hp) where the impedance of the installation (i.e., motor and conductor) is not known, a fault contribution of 4 times rated current, is estimated. Larger motors (50 hp and above) have an estimated fault contribution of 5 times rated current. This is consistent with recommendations in IEEE Std. 141, IEEE Recommended Practice for Electric Power Distribution for Industrial Plants (the IEEE Red Book).
If applicable, multiplying factors are adjusted per Table 7 of ANSI/IEEE C37.010, IEEE Application Guide for AC High-Voltage Circuit Breakers Rated on a Symmetrical Current Basis for medium/high voltage fault duty. The table also shows contributions from induction motors less than 50 hp to be neglected.
The motor short-circuit contribution is determined and included in the computer short-circuit analysis so that the results should represent the highest short-circuit current to which the equipment might be subjected.
Unless otherwise indicated in the SC Computer Input Tabulations appendix, some motor loads are modeled as lumped induction motors connected directly to the low voltage buses using the recommended subtransient reactance values from C37.010, C37.13, and IEEE Std. 141. These modeled values appear in the appendices.
4.3 Short-Circuit Analysis Results
After making the calculations, the distribution equipment was checked to determine its adequacy to interrupt or withstand the effects of the calculated maximum short-circuit current at its location. For some solidly-grounded systems, like close-coupled unit substations and generator gear, it is possible the bolted three-phase fault current is not the maximum fault current. When applicable, the bolted line-to-ground fault current was considered instead. The results are listed in the "SHORT-CIRCUIT EVALUATION
TABLE".
Short-circuit case description(s): COMED has advised that their system can deliver a maximum available three-phase short-circuit current of 8,700A at 4160V with an assumed X/R ratio of 8 at the secondary of TR-1 and 8,600A at 4160V with an assumed X/R ratio of 8 at the secondary of TR-2. The tie breakers were closed at the medium voltage switchgear with one main breaker open assuming the two utility sources cannot be paralleled. The tie breakers at the low voltage switchgear/switchboards were closed and on main breaker open assuming the two utility sources cannot be paralleled. The 3.2MW generator was paralleled with 5kV incoming medium voltage switchgear. The utility sources and the low voltage generators were not paralleled. The Short-Circuit Evaluation table is based upon the higher utility sources.
Listed in the tables are the calculated short-circuit currents at each piece of equipment and the ratings of the lowest rated device in the equipment enclosure. Comparing the two sets of values shows that all of the equipment examined is either adequate by itself or when used in series with another circuit breaker or protected by a line side current-limiting fuse or circuit breaker except for the equipment noted in the “SHORT-CIRCUIT INADEQUATE EQUIPMENT TABLE” found in the Study Recommendations section.
The table also lists some equipment that was not evaluated because the equipment’s rating could not be determined at the time of study preparation. These are identified by note number ‘1’ in the far right hand column of the table. Evaluation of this equipment by the customer is necessary to verify the equipment’s short-circuit current rating is greater than the calculated fault duty, which can be evaluated by referring to the short-circuit output report. For each bus modeled, that report contains evaluations for UL and ANSI equipment and if necessary Schneider Electric Engineering Services, LLC can assist in this evaluation.
For equipment evaluation, if a low voltage breaker is applied at a location with an X/R ratio greater than that of the design test circuit, the calculated fault current must be multiplied by an adjustment factor found in industry standards.
Refer to the Summary of Test Power Factor and X/R Values for LV Devices table in the General Procedure section for more information.
Though not shown in the table, the momentary short-circuit duty for medium-voltage equipment was also evaluated vs. the corresponding equipment ratings. For equipment shown as “adequate”, both the momentary and interrupting ratings were found to be adequate.
NEC 110.9 requires equipment to have a rating sufficient for interrupting the maximum available fault current present at the line side terminals of the equipment. NFPA 70E Article 210 also requires electrical equipment to have appropriate ratings to withstand or interrupt the available fault current. Where calculated available fault currents exceed the ratings of the equipment, remedial action, possibly including upgrade or replacement of the affected equipment, is required to comply with the NEC, NFPA 70E, and OSHA regulations. A risk of equipment damage, property damage, and personal injury exists when equipment has either inadequate withstand ratings or contains overcurrent protective devices (OCPDs) with inadequate interrupting ratings.
Equipment with inadequate ratings in this category can suffer damage which may include bent busbars, melted contactors, ruptured enclosures, or OCPDs may not be able to interrupt faults (three-phase bolted or arcing) properly.
Input data and short-circuit output data are included in the appendices.
