Abstract
Motor short circuit contribution is a real consideration in low-voltage systems. It must be considered in deciding whether to apply series ratings of overcurrent protective devices. Virtually every electrical system has motors in it some place. This paper: confirms the existence of low voltage motor short circuit contribution by test; examines some of the relevant literature; explores typical installations; and recommends application guidelines
