  • Abstract
    Precalculation of short-circuit currents is necessary in order to provide effective protection of power systems against possible short circuits. A method for determining these currents by means of a digital computer is described. Among its advantages are speed, accuracy, and the ability to be operated without highly trained professional personnel.
