IEC 60949 (formerly IEC 949) provides methodologies for calculating thermally permissible short-circuit currents in cables, covering both adiabatic and non-adiabatic heating effects. The standard is used to determine safe cable sizing and metallic screen requirements by analyzing fault currents, particularly for durations between 0.35 and 1.0 seconds. Access the official standard via the ANSI Webstore ANSI Webstore DS/IEC 949:1990 - ANSI Webstore
Where:
IEC 949:2022(E)
For engineers performing these calculations, the standard defines several critical variables: Initial Temperature ( theta sub i The temperature of the conductor before the fault (e.g., 90 raised to the composed with power C for XLPE). Final Temperature ( theta sub f
She opened it. The first ten pages were crisp. Then came the nightmare. Page 11 was a tilted, low-resolution scan of a hand-drawn cable routing diagram. The legend was unreadable. Page 12 showed a thermal image, but the temperature scale had been lost in compression.
