Three Phase
These are the standards in SynC Standards that cover Three Phase. Each one is a complete, plain-language specification: the scope it applies to, the requirements that govern it, and a structured equipment datasheet listing the values a project has to decide, with the standards each is verified against. All of it is written and maintained by SynC, free to read without an account, and published under CC BY 4.0.
A standard usually carries several topics, so most of the entries below also appear under neighbouring subjects. The topics each one carries are listed on its own page.
Standards
- Low Voltage Panelboards (Superseded)
never for new adoptions — this standard has been merged into Panelboards, which carries its full content under the simple name.
- Short-Circuit Study
The short-circuit study for a project's electrical power distribution system, from the utility point of delivery through every point at which an interrupting rating, a close-and-latch rating, a short-time withstand rating, a bus bracing rating, or a marked short-circuit current rating is confirmed, on AC systems rated 1000 V and below through 38 kV with utility, generator, inverter-based, and paralleled sources. Covers who performs the study and when it is delivered, the calculation method and the duty networks, the fault types and the maximum and minimum cases, the system model and the data it is built from (the utility's available fault current and X/R, transformer impedances, conductor impedances and lengths, motor and generator contribution, inverter-based sources, and the survey of existing equipment on a renovation), the source operating cases, the equipment duty evaluation, the treatment of series-rated combinations, the available fault current and date that NFPA 70 110.24 requires at the service equipment, the report and the model handed to the coordination and arc-flash studies, and the events that call for a re-study.
