About this event
Master short circuit analysis in HV three-phase systems with expert-led insights for engineers and technical professionals.
OverviewPower systems aren't just cables and transformers—they're high-stakes puzzles. This course, Short Circuit Analysis for HV Three Phase Systems, breaks down the complexities of fault analysis and teaches you how to evaluate high voltage system stability, safely and correctly. With the right balance of technical depth and industry relevance, you'll get a guided look at the calculations and theoretical framework behind short circuit studies in a HV network.
We take you through symmetrical components, fault types, impedance modelling, and fault current calculations—without detours or filler. Whether you're brushing up or just getting started, you’ll understand what matters, why it matters, and how to apply it to system reliability. It’s ideal for those serious about power systems, without the fluff.

Frequently asked questions
A short circuit occurs when electrical current flows through an unintended path, often due to equipment failure or insulation breakdown.
It helps engineers design protective devices and ensure system safety during fault conditions.
Common faults include single line-to-ground, line-to-line, double line-to-ground, and three-phase faults.
Engineers use per-unit system calculations, symmetrical components, and simulation software like ETAP or DIgSILENT.
