This part of IEC 60909 comprises data of electrical equipment collected from different
countries to be used when necessary for the calculation of short-circuit currents in
accordance with IEC 60909-0.
Generally, electrical equipment data are given by the manufacturers on the name plate or by
the electricity supplier.
In some cases, however, the data may not be available. The data in this report may be
applied for calculating short-circuit currents in low-voltage networks if they are in accordance
with typical equipment employed in the user's country. The collected data and their evaluation
may be used for medium- or high-voltage planning purposes and also for comparison with
data given by manufacturers or electricity suppliers. For overhead lines and cables the
electrical data may in some cases also be calculated from the physical dimensions and the
material following the equations given in this report.
Thus this technical report is an addition to IEC 60909-0. It does not, however, change the
basis for the standardized calculation procedure given in IEC 60909-0 and IEC 60909-3.
